At Shop Small with Sam, I believe that every purchase is a step toward nurturing our local economy. My mission is to connect community members with the wonderful shops and services in their neighborhood, creating a vibrant marketplace that thrives on support and engagement. I'm dedicated to celebrating the unique offerings of local businesses while encouraging everyone to shop small and make a difference. Join me in my vision of a flourishing community where every local shop is cherished and supported. 

Shop Small with Sam was created in February 2023, inspired by my love of shopping and passion for supporting small businesses. I’ve always been drawn to unique finds and the opportunity to support local entrepreneurs.

What began as a Facebook page to share small business highlights, promotions, and reviews has grown into a platform featuring retail, food & beverage, lifestyle, beauty, and more—with a special focus on women-owned businesses. Along the way, I also launched a podcast to further spotlight small business owners and share their stories.

Today, I host events throughout the year, bringing small businesses together in curated markets. As Shop Small with Sam continues to grow, I’m currently developing additional services—such as social media management, live sales, and more—to further support small businesses in the future.
