Contest Brief

I need to develop a brochure that can be used to solicit advertisements for a sales paper. All of the following information must be included but I will depend on your creativity to design it in a professional, attractive and easy to follow format. Please minimize clutter and keep it clean and sharp not busy.

The event is called Small Business Saturday - Shop Small Shop Gainesville
It will begin on Saturday, November 25, 2017. It is sponsored by Gainesville Black Professionals and The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce (logos are attached)

What is Small Business Saturday?

Small Business Saturday was founded by American Express as a response to small business owners’ most pressing need: getting more customers through their doors, rallying communities to support local businesses and helping kick off a successful holiday sales period.

“Since its inception, Small Business Saturday has brought national attention to supporting the local businesses we love,” said Elizabeth Rutledge, Executive Vice President, Global Advertising & Brand Management at American Express

“Small Business Saturday reminds consumers of how valuable small businesses are to our communities.”

Facts About Small Business Saturday:

Of consumers who are aware of Small Business Saturday, 89% agree that the day encourages them to Shop Small all year long, not just during the holiday season.

Nearly eight in ten (79%) consumers say they are willing to pay slightly more for an item if it is purchased from a small, independently-owned retailer as opposed to online or at a large retailer.

On average, one-third (33%) of holiday shopping this year is expected to be done at small retailers or restaurants.
