Saturday Super $ALE
began in April 2012 as a means to support the entrepreneurial spirit of people with disabilities in our community. People with disabilities are often not afforded equal employment opportunities and begin micro-enterprise businesses and sell hand crafted items including ceramics, paintings, jewelry, t-shirts and hats.
There are few affordable opportunities for these artisans to sell their creations to the community and those are generally provided by disability service provider agencies. This limits the goal of having a micro-enterprise provide a valued identity in the community at large. Saturday Super $ALE provides an inclusive community setting to showcase the abilities and self-determination of people with disabilities.
We are seeking partners who share our commitment to support people with disabilities who can and want to become productive members of society.
Anyone and everyone in Michigan
is invited to show and sell their products or promote their micro-enterprise business. Tables available for August 24.

This is the first of five newsletters for vendors on how to improve your business. It is hoped this information will help you have a more successful business and have good sales at Saturday Super SALE August 24, 2013 at Laurel Park Place Mall in Livonia.
MARKETING YOUR BUSINESS
NAMING YOUR BUSINESS
Every business needs a name and the choice you make about how to name yourself is important. It's hard to change your name once you are established. Teddy's T's sells t-shirts. What do you think Teddy's Gifts, sells or Teddy's Business Emporium?
- Pick a a name people can remember
- should tell something about your business
- Should be as unique as possible
Before you choose a name, Google it. If there are hundreds of businesses with same name, and in Michigan not a good choice. If only a few with that name and none in Michigan check out the websites. You may get associated with or
mistaken for same name company.
