Did you shop small this weekend?
As consumers were nursing their Black Friday hangovers and warming up their clicking fingers ahead of Cyber Monday, entrepreneurs
nationwide had their sights set on Small Business Saturday.
The idea behind the day, which debuted last year, is to give local businesses a boost in their effort to grab a piece of
the holiday shopping pie.
The Wall Street Journal says about 100,000 small merchants downloaded promotional signage from sponsor American
Express’ website in 2010, and 15,000 or so used the credit card company’s Facebook ads to promote themselves this
year.
So, did it work? What local retailers got your business on Saturday and why?
Welcome to Small Biz Matters, where IBJ discusses issues of interest to small-business owners and entrepreneurs. I'm your host, Associate Editor Andrea Davis.

Sorry to tell you but it is starting to get that way again. Penske controls who gets the Ilmor and KK will control who will get the Cosworth when they end up back into the series. We have already seen examples of this when Penske led the campaign that kept the Judd under powered even though the rules agreed to by the manufacturers allowed Indy Car to make modification in order to equalize competition. Didn't have the power to fight Honda, but walked all over Judd.

Truth, unlike you, I will be enjoying my favorite racing series this weekend. The only thing to remember about cart is to not forget why it died. Because the team owners were allowed to run it. no major race series follows this model. Those who do not remember their history are forced to repeat it.
