Small Business Ideas for September
September brings several national holidays that offer natural opportunities to connect with your community. Here are a few thoughtful ways your business can join the conversation this month:
National Coffee Day (Sept 29)
Even if you’re not a coffee shop, you can join in by highlighting local spots you love, treating your team to a coffee break, or inviting customers to share their favorite neighborhood café. It’s a great way to strengthen community ties and support local.
National Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept 15 – Oct 15)
If you know of local events or organizations celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, promote them in your newsletter or social media.
First Day of Fall (Sept 22)
Seasonal change is a great time for promotions. Whether it’s a fall menu item, a new product launch, or even a cozy fall-themed display, give your customers a reason to stop by.

At Salt & Straw, they craft ice cream that tells a story about its ingredients, celebrating the farms, artisans and sustainable sources they come from. Every flavor reflects their hands-on approach as they cook, freeze, candy, sort, burn, smash, hand drizzle, ribbon, spoon and sprinkle each component with intention. By blending classic techniques with imaginative twists, they transform simple ingredients into complex textures and surprising combinations, creating ice cream that is as intriguing and unexpected as it is delicious.
