COMMERCE IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS -- Part 24


Main Streets, Business Improvement Districts and Downtowns Lead the Way
Smith said small, locally-owned businesses are finding very innovative ways to keep moving forward:
·        
      A hair salon in Alexandria, Virginia is delivering a small bottle of customer’ hair coloring solution, plus some shampoo and conditioner, to their homes, then following up with Zoom meetings to walk them through the process of touching up their roots.

·        A bar in San Antonio is offering drive-through cocktails and bottled beer and wine. With a $30 purchase, customers get a free hot dog from the hot dog stand next door and a free bottle of Stella Artois.

·        A personal chef and caterer in Metuchen, New Jersey now makes family-style meals serving four to six people and, when delivering them, offers to deliver products from other downtown businesses as well.

·        A professional photographer in Cincinnati is donating her services to other small businesses to take photos of their merchandise for their websites.
