[MainstreetManagers] Friday MS Directors Call

[Buffy Hughes]

Hi all.  Below is the information for our regular zoom meeting.

Some people sent in topics for trainings, so far they are:

*       How to adapt events and fundraisers with social distancing

*       Hot to market to day-trippers

*       How to touch base with merchants when they are closed - they don't check their email or respond to texts.

*       Creating websites

*       Fundraising when merchants are hurting, people aren't going to events, and municipalities are cutting funding

*       How to support entrepreneurs

*       Volunteer recruitment

*       Writing and finding grants

Please keep the ideas coming.

Thank you for sending out the survey, and we are slowly getting them back.  Ecommerce for small businesses is an important topic for Brent, and he really wants to do something.  The proof is in the numbers, so encourage your merchants to fill it out.

Have a good day,
Buffy
