Hi Sheri,

I wanted to reach out to ask if you could help Travel Oregon reach small businesses across the state to provide them with information about our Small Business Marketing Series. We've been developing free marketing trainings and resources for small and medium sized businesses to help navigate through COVID-19 and have a series of webinars including:

  *   Content Strategy Tips and Tricks for 2021
  *   Demystifying SEO
  *   Inspire Confidence with Online Listings During COVID-19
  *   Let's Get Social: Strategizing Your Platforms for COVID-19
  *   Optimistic Website Optimization for Tourism Businesses during COVID-19
Upcoming and past trainings can be found on our industry webpage - Small Business Marketing Series.<https://industry.traveloregon.com/resources/virtual-training-engagement-and-assistance/resources-for-tourism-businesses/small-business-marketing-series/>

We're also releasing a new training on March 11 called "Drive Online Business with Locl, Inc."<https://industry.traveloregon.com/opportunities/event/drive-online-business-with-locl-inc/> - this training is aimed at businesses to update their Google My Business profile as we know over 90% of internet searches happen on Google. We want to be sure businesses have a strong profile going into spring and summer - and we've also partnered with Locl, Inc. - which is a helpful tool for businesses to optimize their listings.

As I mentioned earlier, we'd like to ask for your help in getting the word out to small businesses across the state about the available trainings and upcoming March 11 training. Please let me know if you're able to help share the message with small businesses within your network and let me know if you need any additional information.

Best,
