Back To Blocks Celebrates Teacher Appreciation And Small Business Weeks With Discounted Products

KAYSVILLE, Utah - May 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Back To Blocks feels strongly about two important events this week, May 4-8. Show your appreciation for two of the most influential groups in our society-teachers and small business. During this week, we celebrate both National Small Business Week and National Teacher Appreciation Week. Being a small family based business and providing a product used by teachers everywhere has prompted Back To Blocks to offer a 20% discount on all it's products for these two events.

Ever feel like the "little guy". Small business owners do. As more and more of our shopping options are "big box", the need to support small business grows. Consider the following statistics-


Small Businesses
•    Represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms.
•    Employ half of all private sector employees.
•    Pay 44 percent of total U.S. private payroll.
•    Generated 65 percent of net new jobs over the past 17 years.
•    Create more than half of the nonfarm private GDP.
•    Hire 43 percent of high tech workers
•    Are 52 percent home-based and 2 percent franchises.
•    Made up 97.5 percent of all identified exporters and produced 31 percent of export value in 2008.
•    Produce 13 times more patents per employee than large patenting firms.

These impressive statistics show how important it is  that we keep "Main Street" U.S.A. alive and well.  The best way to do this is to buy from and recommend your favorite small business. Although small businesses often struggle with having enough time, money and resources, they produce great products and services. The best way to ensure they have a chance against the big players is to consistently support them by frequenting their stores, recommending them, and of course buying their products and services.

National Small Business Week occurs each year during May. It's purpose is to encourage communities to not only support local and small business owners but to get together and help solve the problems that face this hard working sector of society. Check with your local chamber of commerce to see what events are taking place in your area.

The other very important event held in May each year is National Teacher Appreciation Week. Who in our society do we need to thank more than our teachers? No other profession influences each and every community more than those who educate our children. The NEA encourage everyone to take time to "thank a teacher" during this week. Many schools have budget constraints that make it difficult for teachers to have all the supplies they would like to have in their classrooms. Many teachers would appreciate a donation of useful educational materials. See wooden block sets for classrooms at http://backtoblocks.com/block-sets.html
