Did you know that SbsSHOPRI (SbSHOPRI) provides great opportunities for small businesses throughout the year. In addition to the fabulous holiday shopping event, free and open to the public, on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, SbsSHOPRI also provides business support to its vendor/participants.
The program consists of 6 classes beginning with the basics of business start-up and writing an elevator speech and continuing with preparing and writing of marketing and business plans. Each class is a two and half hour session, followed by homework and handouts provided by the instructors. Additionally, program managers and coordinators meet, evaluate the entrepreneurs’ progress and assign one-on-one technical assistance and consultants.
