What is Shop Small 2026?
It’s a free holiday movement from Small Business Sister Circle, running November 1 to December 25, 2026. It brings small businesses and their communities together to shop small on purpose and keep more holiday dollars with local business owners.
Who can take part?
Everyone. Any female owned/run small business can join, and any shoppers can enter. You don’t need to be a Sister Circle member.
What counts as a small business?
Shops, online stores, product-based businesses, and service-based businesses. If a real female runs it and it isn’t a giant corporation, it counts.
For Small Business Sisters:
Does it cost anything to join?
No, it’s free.
What do I need to do?
Sign up, download your kit, put your flyer by your front counter or at your market/vendor tables and post on November 1st and throughout the Movement. Telling your customers about it and how to enter to win is the best part. Everything else is optional.
What’s in the kit?
Flyers, logos, post captions, and templates, email copy, all ready to use. We email you the link after you sign up.
Do I have to be a Sister Circle member?
No. We’d love to see you inside our community and/or free space, The Lounge, but it’s not required.

About the impact
Why do you ask how much I spent?
The form helps us add up what our community spends with small businesses this season, so we can share the impact together. Totals are self-reported, and we never share names.
Who runs the Sister Circle Shop Small Movement?
Small Business Sister Circle, a business education & leadership company based out of Wisconsin, built on collaboration over competition. Learn more at Sister Circle | Community for Women Small Business Owners.
