Dear Main Street America Friends,
Almost two years ago, Main Street America launched a small business survey that focused on understanding the early impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Main Streets and Main Street business owners. Through the power of our network, more than 5,000 small business owners responded, enabling us to launch targeted advocacy campaigns and voice the fears and concerns of local business owners in cities and towns, big and small.
Today, we’re kicking off our 2022 Small Business Survey. We want to hear how businesses are adapting and how they’re feeling about their futures. As we come through a very difficult period, we know that small businesses continue to animate our downtowns and neighborhood commercial corridors. We’d like to know how we can help.
Please encourage your small businesses to participate in the survey by sharing this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/mainstreet-smallbiz-winter2022. We’re asking for responses by 5:00pm PT on Thursday, February 17. It should take each small business owner about ten minutes to go through the questions.
Thank you—and your businesses!—for participating in this important survey. Please let them know that we are many, and we are here.
Mike Powe, Ph.D.
