It is no
secret that doing business has changed as technology has advanced. Could you
imagine going about your normal day without new technology, doing business none
the less? No phone, no calculator, no computer? Think of looking something up
in a book instead of doing a simple Google search. Technology these days is
supposed to make life easier for us, but for some it has made it more
challenging, especially when it comes to running a business. Keeping up with
the newest social media platform and successful marketing efforts are things
people have said they struggle with, but they know it is essential to make
their business successful.
This year,
the Main Street Program has gone through a total transformation. We unveiled
our new logo and brand, started the Friends of Main Street Program and revamped
our membership benefits. That includes our most exciting benefit of 10 hours of
social media or marketing help to our gold members. We listened to our members
and hope we can help them in these areas they struggle with. There are numerous
tools out there to enhance and grow their business. We want to help our members
take advantage of these tools and incorporate them into their business.
We are
excited to help our businesses out in any way we can. But our business
community needs your help as well! I know everyone has heard how important it
is to shop local, but have you ask yourself “am I doing everything I can to
keep my dollars in the community? Maybe it is more convenient for you to get
your items up town or you think you can save a few bucks. Our businesses depend
on your loyalty. Maybe you think can’t get what you need in town. I’m sure if
you ask any Barnesville business if they can get that item from their store, they
would be more than happy to order it in for you!
