Workshop Details
For many communities, our small businesses are working at an
“independent” level, trying their best to succeed and in some cases, to just
stay afloat without an active support system in place to help them address
needs and market opportunities. While overall economic development efforts
in communities of all sizes don’t always include attention and support to
small businesses, Main Street is all about strengthening our existing local
economy by supporting our downtown entrepreneurs. From developing retail
promotions that work, to cutting-edge tools that add understanding on trends
and best practices, this session will highlight important strategies to not only
position your Main Street program as a valuable partner, but consciously build a strong supportive environment for the success of our downtown entrepreneurs.
