Resources to make shopping small your New Year’s resolution
First, we love that goal – you community superstar, you! For shopping small all year round, check out our Small Business Spotlight Shop, an online hub totally geared toward discovering small businesses, hearing their stories and, of course, shopping their products.
If you're an in-person shopper or just want to see small businesses nearby, there is a filter on the site that will only show businesses in your area. There may even be some upcoming in-person pop-up events near you!
Interested in being featured on the Spotlight Shop?
Apply today – we'd love to have you! You don't even need to bank with us at M&T (though, how could you not want to?).
Falalala-feel good about supporting small.
When you shop small, you're not just shopping, you’re supporting the businesses that make our neighborhoods unique. If that doesn't get ya on the nice list, we don't know what will!
Grab some cocoa, crank the carols and let’s wrap up something meaningful for all the special people in your life!
