November Is BBB’s Thank a Business Month
November is BBB’s Thank a Business Month, and this year’s theme is “Return the Favor.”
Think about the last time you needed a reliable contractor, mechanic, restaurant, or other service provider. Chances are, you looked at online reviews before making your decision. But when we have a wonderful experience ourselves, how often do we actually take a few minutes to share it?
Recognizing Local Businesses That Go Above and Beyond
Maybe a local business went above and beyond; an employee provided exceptional service, or someone helped you solve a difficult problem.
This month, BBB is encouraging everyone to recognize at least one business that made a positive difference in their life.

Visit BBB.org/thanks, find that business, and leave an honest review.
