Connecting Small Businesses With Local Customers: New Movers and Community Guide Several years ago, when I operated a small business I found the challenges of connecting with customers to be a constant concern. At the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, a drive I had taken down a small town area just outside of Greenville, SC took me to a new chocolate shop that told me they were closing that day and might not be opening again. In today's challenging climate, small businesses face an even greater need than ever before to connect with local customers who are seeking to shop locally. The Small Business Pulse Survey Data Release issued the Phase 3 release during November 2020 showing the National Average of affected businesses by the Coronavirus pandemic to be at 29.7%. The percentage of our businesses that have suffered is even higher in a variety of locations. Our higher percentages are reflected from Aloha! in Hawaii which is at 52%, Illinois at 37.7%, and New York who is not left behind at 39.5%. These numbers reflect more than mind numbing statistical data, they help us to see some solid important facts suggesting strengths and weaknesses in the businesses in today's small business world. "The Small Business Pulse Survey measures the effect of changing business conditions during the Coronavirus pandemic on our nation's small businesses. Small Business Pulse Survey (SMPS) Census Bureau data collections by providing high- frequency, detailed information on the challenges small businesses are facing during the Coronavirus pandemic," from the United States Census Bureau article, "Small Business Pulse Survey: Tracking Changes During The Coronavirus Pandemic". A new resource that really grabbed my interest, and has been designed to connect reputable local small businesses with the local community has been released recently. It is the New Movers and Community Guide. It enables local small businesses to list their information. Contact Us At: https://newmoversandcommunityguide.com
