The New Shop Local (on demand)
This event has been canceled
THIS IS A RECORDING OF A WEBINAR ON 8/10/21
The old "shop local" messages feel out of touch, almost preachy when everything else has changed. To succeed today, rural small businesses need to refine your messages to overcome the unique customer mindset challenges. Learn the right ways to promote shopping when we know many people are in bad financial shape. Overcome customer reliance on online shopping that built up during quarantine. Learn ways to tap people’s willingness to help the community.
Restoring Rural Business Series is sponsored by Rural LISC.
