Are you doing enough to support local businesses open during the closures for COVID-19? Our new ZoomBusiness tool offers your EDO, chamber, town or county an interactive, online mapping directory of businesses open or closed.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Restaurants, retailers and services everywhere are struggling to maintain enough cash flow to stay in business. These small and medium-sized businesses are the lifeblood of your area economy and need your help now more than ever. Our ZoomBusiness tool is available to economic developers, chambers of commerce, municipal and county organizations in the U.S. and Canada to help connect your residents with businesses open during COVID-19 shut downs. Businesses can add themselves (no login required) from a simple form on the site, which economic developers or chambers can approve. You can also batch add businesses with a spreadsheet. Restaurants and stores can indicate if they are doing curbside pickup or delivery, offering promotions, or doing a gift card stimulus program. They are trying to promote themselves online and through social media and desperately need your help to drive area residents your way. Spread the word so area residents spend their dollars to support the businesses in your region.
