American Express's Shop Small Campaign: Boosting Local Businesses One Swipe at a Time


Ever strolled down your neighbourhood's quaint streets, captivated by the charm of small businesses offering one-of-a-kind treasures and heartfelt service?


Well, get ready for a delightful ride as I unveil the magic behind American Express's Shop Small campaign – where every card swipe becomes a vote of confidence for local gems!


Picture this:

You're scrolling through your social media feed, indulging in a bit of digital escapism, when suddenly, a post catches your eye!


It's not your typical sponsored ad or flashy promotion; it's a heartfelt plea from a local jewellery shop asking for support in these challenging times.


And in that moment, something clicks!


You realize that behind every storefront is a dreamer, a risk-taker, and a passionate entrepreneur pouring their heart and soul into their business.



Now, let me ask you this:


How many times have you stumbled upon a charming café, a cosy bookstore, or a quirky local shop while scrolling through your neighbourhood?


Perhaps you've felt that tug of curiosity that urges you to step inside and explore what hidden treasures lie within. Well, my friend, that's the essence of the Shop Small movement – turning digital discovery into real-world support for the local businesses that make our communities thrive.


Enter American Express, swooping in like a knight in shining armour to champion the cause of these local heroes.

Their "Shop Small" campaign isn't just a marketing strategy; it's a full-blown love letter to small businesses everywhere.

And hey, if you happen to wield an American Express card, consider yourself the VIP guest at this small business shindig – with special rewards and incentives waiting just for you!


But let's talk turkey – or should I say, cashmere sweaters and artisanal candles?


The objective of the campaign is simple!



Get folks off their couches and into their neighbourhood stores, support local entrepreneurs and strengthen the bond between American Express and small business owners. It's like the ultimate buddy cop movie, where the good guys (that's us!) team up to take down the big bad world of impersonal shopping.


And the best part?


American Express doesn't just stop at handing out rewards – they're all about spreading the love on social media too!



From sharing heartwarming stories of small business success to organizing community events that feel more like block parties than marketing gigs, they're all about creating connections and spreading smiles.


So, the next time you're ready to make a payment, whether it's with your trusty American Express card or tapping on your smartphone, remember – you're not just completing a transaction; you're becoming a local hero, one swipe at a time.


Because behind every small business is a dreamer, a risk-taker, and a whole lot of heart. And with every swipe, you're showing them some well-deserved love. Keep swiping and keep spreading that Shop Small magic!
