Small businesses promote healthier communities.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mall businesses benefit local economies. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.business2community.com\/infographics\/big-influence-small-business-infographics-01068522#V6ZyW8JUcvG5yM0B.97\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for every $100 spent in small businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, $68 returns to the local economy. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But small businesses bring more to the communities they reside in than just economic benefits. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2012\/02\/120202201511.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a national study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, communities with greater numbers of thriving, locally-owned small business have healthier populations \u2014 with lower rates of mortality, obesity, and diabetes \u2014 than those with concentrations of large companies. It might be the stressless commute; <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jasonnazar\/2013\/09\/09\/16-surprising-statistics-about-small-businesses\/#5e01ba9c3078\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that more than half of small businesses are home-based.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies also show that small businesses invest more in the community and contribute by promoting a culture of entrepreneurship. An apple a day \u2014 and perhaps, your local mom-and-pop shop \u2014 keep the doctor away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>2. Small businesses are driving innovation.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever heard of the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.owletcare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owlet Baby Monitor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? How about the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dji.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phantom Drone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? These revolutionary products grew from the innovation of small businesses intent on creating valuable new technology and fueling growth. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small businesses are at the forefront of innovation \u2014 they <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/sbecouncil.org\/about-us\/facts-and-data\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">produce more than 16 times more patents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> per employees than large companies. All of those new, emerging technologies benefit our quality of life by introducing transformative new products and services \u2014 not just the next big thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>3. Small businesses are contributing largely to job growth.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not the growth of large businesses that produces the majority of American jobs. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/Small_business_bulletin_June_2015.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> added <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/FAQ_Sept_2012.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">64 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the new jobs created between 1993 and 2011. That\u2019s a total of more than 11 million jobs. Many of us owe local businesses a \u201cthank you\u201d for their role in our economy \u2014 and for our paychecks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>4. Small businesses are good for the environment.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green living isn\u2019t just a trend anymore, and the pressure is on for businesses to adopt more sustainable manufacturing and production practices. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small businesses are more open to adopting eco-friendly business models as they answer to their sustainably-savvy consumers: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.environmentalleader.com\/2007\/10\/53-of-consumers-prefer-to-buy-from-companies-with-green-rep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">53 percent of customers say they prefer small firms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because of their green reputation. About <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/227295\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">61 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of small businesses were already trying to go greener back in 2012, while 70 percent anticipated adopting more sustainable practices over the following years. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>5. Small businesses have fans.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They may be small, but they\u2019ve sure got more than a few cheerleaders. Statistics show that small businesses are largely beloved by American consumers. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nearly <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yodle.com\/downloads\/what-consumers-want-from-local-businesses.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">82 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of consumers currently use local businesses, and 48 percent plan to increase their patronage in the future. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost half of consumers would pay more to a local business in order to support their community.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An astounding 96 percent of consumers believe that local businesses beat national chains on personalizing service. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to businesses, most American customers believe you can\u2019t beat local.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>6. Small businesses are diverse.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small businesses represent the diversity of modern America and the unique backgrounds of its citizens. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiscalpolicy.org\/FPI-release-immigrant-small-business-owners-20120614.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiscal Policy Institute\u2019s Immigration Research Initiative<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, more than one in six small business owners in the U.S. is an immigrant. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The industry also rewards <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/247215\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackenterprise.com\/small-business\/top-10-grants-financing-black-businesses-minority-entrepreneurs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">minority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> entrepreneurs by offering grants to reward innovation and collaboration. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>7. Small businesses have a bright future.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The economy\u2019s unpredictable nature means that business isn\u2019t always booming. However, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/sageworks\/2016\/01\/17\/the-state-of-u-s-small-businesses-entering-2016\/#388e98d72acd\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> entered 2016 with stronger sales growth. And in the fall of last year, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adpemploymentreport.com\/2016\/November\/SBS\/docs\/SBRinfographic-November2016.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">profitability and employment among small businesses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were still increasing. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These prosperous trends are expected to continue, thanks to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/jessica-stillman\/the-5-biggest-economic-trends-for-small-businesses-in-2017.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased globalization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/IntuitInc\/intuit-quickbooks-future-of-small-business-report\/1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ability to compete with larger firms by meeting niche demands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; and easy access to cost-effective talent, tools, and marketing. It\u2019s no wonder, then, that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/your-business\/watch\/how-does-the-future-look-for-small-business-in-2017-834896451639\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small businesses are optimistic about the future<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4>8. Small businesses are worth celebrating.<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve heard of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Friday<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but did you know that the Saturday after Thanksgiving was designated as Small Business Saturday in 2010? <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicated to supporting local businesses nationwide, the day grown exponentially with 95 million people \u2014 including President Obama \u2014 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/en-in\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shopping small in 2015<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> But that\u2019s not where the recognition stops. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 1963 every U.S. president has issued a proclamation recognizing National Small Business Week to celebrate the contributions of American entrepreneurs. Be sure to mark your calendar for 2017\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/nsbw\/nsbw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small Business Week<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, coming up the first week of May.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small business owners, pat yourselves on the back.
