overstockArt.com Joins the Small Business Saturday Initiative

Wichita, KS, November 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The popular online gallery, overstockArt.com, today announced its participation in the second annual Small Business Saturday on November 26, 2011. Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on the busiest shopping weekend of the year.

overstockArt.com started in 2002 as a small home-based business with only a handful of unframed oil paintings to choose from. Today, the Wichita, Kan.-based small business is one of the web’s most successful online art galleries with more than 20 employees in three continents. The online home décor retailer offers the most comprehensive selection of hand painted art reproductions in the online oil painting industry, as well as a robust selection of decorative ceramic tiles and print canvas reproductions. overstockArt.com also owns and manages Artist Become (ArtistBe.com), the new online community for creating, selling and buying artwork online.

“We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the loyal customers who have supported our small business since its inception,” said David Sasson, CEO of overstockArt.com. “We joined the cause this year to encourage consumers to support small businesses this holiday season and to thank our customers with a special Small Business Saturday discount and give-away.”

The Small Business Saturday specials overstockArt.com will be offering on November 26, 2011 includes:

· overstockArt.com discount code: 40% off artwork (not including frames) purchased on overstockArt.com from 1:01 a.m. – 11:59 p.m. CST using the coupon code SmallBizSaturday.

American Express, the founding sponsor of Small Business Saturday, created the national program in 2010 in response to small business owners’ most pressing need: more demand for their products and services. The second event will build on last year’s inaugural program that drove millions of dollars to main street merchants.
