The U.S. Small Business Network Declares Fridays To Be "Small Business Fridays"

Online, July 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The U.S. Small Business Network, Inc. has launched Small Business Fridays on Facebook, a campaign geared towards increasing exposure and support for Small Businesses all across America. The first Small Business Fridays is slated for Friday August 12, 2011 with subsequent Fridays to follow and is expected to be the largest consumer driven collective effort to support Small Businesses.

Small Business Owners will gain exposure by offering incredible deals on deal site Local Affiniti, while consumers save big and get an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the small businesses in their local area. In support of this campaign the U.S. Small Business Network is offering daily prizes and giveaways to consumers including a user driven Flash Mob Contest where the contestant with the winning Flash Mob Routine walks away with 500 $mall Biz Buck$ and bragging rights. Voting for this contest is user driven as well and the winner will be announced on the first Small Business Fridays on August 12, 2011.

A spokesperson from the company added, "The response and feedback has been tremendous, both from consumers and Small Business Owners. With the traditional institutions sitting on the sidelines, we firmly believe that the real and practical solutions will most likely come from the Small Business Owners themselves and the communities they serve." The efforts are already underway with a countdown timer prominently displayed on their fan page. Small Businesses Owners and Consumers alike are signing up to participate in the first ever Small Business Fridays on August 12, 2011.
