It's a tale as old as time (or really since American Express launched Small Business Saturday in 2010). As the holidays approach, small business owners everywhere plaster "SHOP SMALL" signs online and outside their storefronts, in hope of attracting customers.

In this episode, we're sharing why that is - AND what to do instead!

Listen in for:

• Why taking the 'small business angle' might actually have you losing sales in the long run
• What Amazon has to do with it
• How you can create more sophisticated messaging
• And more!
