Please Take our NEW Economic Impact Survey
Numbers are critically important to tell the collective story of the COVID-19 impact. Help guide recovery efforts by taking our NEW monthly economic impact survey about employment and revenue trends at your company. Our numbers will detail the reality for local public and private sector decision makers. This April survey closes in just a few days; take the survey today at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AprilAspireCOVID19
We need just one response per company. If you are not the best person to answer questions about employment and revenue trends for your company, please forward it to the right individual.
New Aspire Express eGift Card Program to Help Businesses Survive Shutdown
We are excited to announce a new online digital gift card program available to help stimulate cash flow to local businesses, whether or not you are open. Sales revenue is fully deposited to you up front, not at redemption. Customers can redeem the digital cards now for takeout and delivery, or for products and services later. No special POS or hardware is needed, and there are no fees to participate.
It's time to come together again! Join us virtually from your kitchen table, backyard deck or any comfy spot for Aspire Together After Hours! Please bring your favorite drink, draft or spritzer!
We understand the challenges this unprecedented public health crisis is especially placing on local businesses. Direct, intentional marketing efforts are needed now more than ever, so we have launched a free marketing and promotional opportunity called Business Blitz.
We invite local businesses to create and submit a 30 second video we will post on Aspire’s social media channels and website. Please email Alex Wheeler for more information and guidelines.
