NEW YEAR. NEW YOU.

020 was a year unlike any other. By the time you read this, everything will have changed, again. We have watched for the past ten months as our local business community has pivoted, navigated, and forged forward through seemingly endless changes, codes, lockdowns and reopenings. All the rules and regulations from Public Health and all levels of government have told you what your business could not do. But what our business community heard and what they chose to do was figure out what they could do. Making changes to your business is no easy undertaking, but Brandon has demonstrated their fight to adapt to the ever-changing climate. The Chamber is proud to have assisted our members through these changes by providing information, resources, webinars and learning sessions, programs (ie. the Ecommerce program with Leech Printing or the Shop Local Guide) and by just being the communities go-to place for assistance – or even just a chat.
No matter what type of business you operate, the mindset to develop and use for your 2021 business strategy must come from a place of dedicated positivity. This “can-do” strategy must start with a list of what is possible. Whether it is transitioning to doing business online, revisiting your marketing strategy, researching new markets for potential expansion or diversification, or engaging with your customers personally to deepen your relationships.
