Many small businesses made adjustments to the way they conduct their businesses — or have shifted their approaches entirely. In the face of a truly catastrophic financial environment, small businesses have used their creativity to spur them forward as entrepreneurs and adapt to a business environment no one could have predicted. Small business owners have done these things under the stress of laying off employees, shutting down brick and mortar shops, or giving up on their dream entirely. ThinkSmall helps New York small businesses who have been here since the beginning, hand rolling candles, screen printing t-shirts, selling exotic goods and cooking traditional dishes. Shopping at their stores has become a family tradition that spans generations but many of their store front windows have shuttered this year. Right now, these small shops, stores and business owners are barely making it. As consumers, it is our responsibility to stand for small and buy local. We are Thinking Big by Thinking Small. One local purchase can change your local community.
