Starting the year with gratitude

As we begin 2022, Shop Small PDX says thank you – to all our site visitors and shoppers who helped spread the word about shopping local and supporting Portland’s small businesses.  Thanks to the power of social media and a commitment to Portland’s economic health, many of our emerging entrepreneurs and retailers experienced a positive holiday season.  

Just two examples of YOUR power in making Portland a better place: 

• The December My People’s Market vendors reported average sales of $700 - the highest ever!  

• Thank you for sharing our Supporting Small Business post 88 times across Instagram! This means that 88 other social profiles were motivated by our content to reshare it to their followers across Instagram Stories. So encouraging!  

We continue to explore ways to keep this site fresh and helpful for everyone interested in finding new ways to keep Portland’s small businesses alive and thriving. Here’s to a successful new year!
