SCORE is here for YOU
SCORE dedicates the entire month of July to celebrating Independent Retailers and Rural Entrepreneurs. The celebration is designed to promote awareness and support for smaller retailers/entrepreneurs and allow them to compete on an even playing field.
Supporting neighborhood shops, and other independent retailers to grow and stay resilient is what we do here at SCORE. Supporting local small businesses helps the local economy and community thrive. Small retailers might celebrate this month by:
- Showing off your unique offerings and backstory
- Focusing on offering your customers one-of-a-kind experiences
- Opportunities to further connect
- Work with your confidential SCORE Mentor to plan your goals
