<p class="MsoNormal">Hey there!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The folks at Oklahoma State’s Rural Renewal Initiative want to hear from your small biz owners! Especially those in rural communities. See link below for a survey for YOUR Small business owners! Please forward to them. We sent out a
survey at the beginning of the pandemic and found that only about 30% of our small business owners used digital media/social media to sell their products and promote themselves.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While not the same survey, we would be interested to see how the results come out three years later.<o:p></o:p></p>
