[OMS_MANAGERS] Share Today: Main Street America Small Business Survey - closes April 29

[Lise Grato]

My quick RND (Rip off & Duplicate) of the Fayetteville flyer will be sent out through our chamber’s Friday Finds tomorrow. It’s great to have partners who will sneak you in after deadline and smile when doing so!!

I thought about updating the text to say Downtown businesses to get more specific data, but MSA didn’t word it that way. Also, I’m not sure we could get 50 responses just Downtown. Overall, Albany data is better than nothing local.

Starting with the Fayetteville flyer that Sheri shared, I added our logo and the tinyurl for those who might be on a computer and cannot easily access a QR code.

Hi all –

There's so much happening lately that's hitting small business owners and adding to uncertainty—Main Street America wanted to meet the moment and hear from folks across their national network. They opened a small business survey which will close on April 29th. You might have seen info over The Point or directly if you are a member of MSA. They will provide segmented data to communities that receive at least 50 responses (currently we have less than 20 total from Oregon – yikes!). They do have both an English and Spanish version of the survey. Attached are flyers in English and Spanish. Below is some sample text you can use to share the survey with your folks as well as an example I found from a community in Arkansas on how they are sharing.

Here’s text you can use to share:

Calling all small businesses!! We need to hear from you! We need at least 50 businesses to respond to receive a custom report based on our community. Please reply to this email when complete.

Main Street America aims to deliver effective support to small businesses across the nation. Periodic surveys like this one help us to stay updated and informed about your priorities and experiences firsthand. This survey is intended for small business owners and contains about 30 questions. We do not collect your name or the name of your business, and results are only viewed and shared anonymously and in aggregate. We greatly appreciate your participation!

Here’s an example of how a program in Arkansas is sharing the survey with their businesses:
