It&#8217;s a special day created so communities can show their love for small businesses both &#8220;brick and mortar&#8221; and virtual, like mine and most of my clients. And it wouldn&#8217;t be a celebration without people like you joining us!</p>
<p>So mark your calendar for November 26, the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the U.S., and get ready to Shop Small® with us. In this post, I&#8217;ve put together a selection of offers from some of my clients. One of the things I LOVE doing is championing my clients and this is a perfect way to share what some of them are up to and how their work can support you and your business.</p>
<p>Keep on reading and take advantage of some great consulting and training deals as well as several books I recommend&#8230;<span id="more-9184"></span></p>

<p>It can be a little lonely and frustrating trying to figure out how to market your business or product on your own. Most of the time, you get it done, but sometimes, you need some input to help get you through a difficult patch when you’re not quite sure what to do or which path to take.</p>
<p>To support you, I&#8217;m offering a super deep discount on a <strong>one-hour private consultation</strong> &#8211; just $97, a 68% discount.  <strong><a href="https://denisewakeman.com/small-business-saturday/" target="_blank">Get the details and book your consult here.</a></strong></p>
<h4>Online Courses and Freebies</h4>

<h4>Recommended Books</h4>
<p>In the last year, I&#8217;ve worked with several small biz owners who also published their first book. From building their audience and creating their online presence to <a href="https://denisewakeman.com/marketing-trends/bestseller-status/" target="_blank">developing launch plans</a>, it&#8217;s some of the most satisfying work to do. To celebrate their publishing successes, here are three books that debuted on Amazon during the past 15 months. Each book is worthy of your attention if you or someone you know is looking for expertise in dealing with autoimmune disease, parenting sons, and preparing for the aging process. And, books always make great holiday gifts!</p>
