Thank You Small Business Joins Independent Retailer Conference as Media Sponsor

 

New York, NY (April 30, 2013) — Thank You Small Business has confirmed their media partnership with the Independent Retailer Conference, the nation’s only retail conference dedicated entirely to the unique lifestyle and responsibilities of indie store owners, taking place on May 20th  2013 at the Scholastic Auditorium, 557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012.

Thank You Small Business was created to support and celebrate small businesses. They are vital players in creating a strong economy and great communities. Not only should they be supported and recognized for these contributions; but we need to ensure they continue to grow and succeed. Hundreds of small biz supporters have come together to bring life to this movement with a goal of helping at least 25,000 small businesses receive the resources they need to help them grow.

“The primary goal of Thank You Small Business is to ensure that we continue to revive the global economy by helping small business owners build profitable and sustainable businesses and to THANK these small business owners for their hard work, dedication and amazing contributions to the economy,” said Carissa Reiniger, Creator of Thank You Small Business & Founder and CEO of Silver Lining Limited.  “We are so excited to be sponsoring the Independent Retailer Conference as it brings together such a unique and influential group of small biz owners to support, educate and inspire one another.”

The SBA Office of Advocacy highlights that small businesses make up:

•           99.7 percent of U.S. employer firms,

•           64 percent of net new private-sector jobs

•           49.2 percent of private-sector employment,

•           42.9 percent of private-sector payroll,

•           46 percent of private-sector output,

•           43 percent of high-tech employment,

•           64 percent of the net new jobs created between 1993 and 2011 (or 11.8 million of the 18.5 million net new jobs)

•           Since the latest recession, from mid-2009 to 2011, small firms, led by the larger ones in the category (20-499 employees), accounted for 67 percent of the net new jobs.
