THE PROBLEM

The Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) has affected millions of small businesses and their ability to provide jobs in their communities.  Normal business operations have been severely impacted, and many are experiencing formidable obstacles preventing them from generating revenue through the sale of their products and services. As a result, sales from new and existing customers have plummeted, putting both small businesses and their employees are at risk.  Many are in dire need of our help.


WHY WE ARE RAISING FUNDS

In response to COVID-19, small businesses are in the process of changing their business models to adapt and survive. Unfortunately, as sales and financial visibility have decreased, many do not have the financial resources to cover advertising, marketing, and web services so they can successfully execute the changes and communicate them to the customers and communities they serve.

We are asking for your donation to assist the small businesses that need our help now.

Donations made to the Small Business Marketing Relief Fund will be used to pay for small business marketing costs, including but not limited to advertising, consulting and web services. 

HOW YOUR DONATION WILL HELP SMALL BUSINESSES

To put the current situation into perspective, consider a non-life sustaining business, such as a retail store, that was forced to close its doors due to its state’s business closure mandate. This retail store needs to immediately change its business model to be able to sell its products on the internet rather than in a physical store location. With your donation, The Spot Media Group, LLC, would be able to develop a new e-commerce website and provide marketing and advertising services at NO COST to the small business.

Another example is a restaurant which is no longer able to serve dine-in customers. The restaurant needs to quickly change its business model to support pickup and curbside orders so that it may continue to operate for the duration of the crisis. However, the restaurant does not have a website with online ordering capabilities.  Your donation would allow The Spot Media Group, LLC to develop a new website, or upgrade an existing website, with online ordering features at ZERO COST to the restaurant. Additional funds could then be allocated to the restaurant to advertise to the community that it is open for business with online ordering for pickup and curbside delivery.

In addition to the positive impact your donation will have on struggling small businesses in the community, your donation will also provide stimulus and support to The Spot Media Group, LLC and the many vendors, freelancers and sub-contractors that we partner with to fully execute web, marketing and advertising services/projects.

HOW DONATIONS WILL BE USED

The Spot Media Group, LLC will distribute money from the Small Business Marketing Relief Fund to pay for marketing, advertising, and web services rendered to the small businesses for which we complete projects and services.

For complete transparency, fund distributions for projects and services completed for small businesses will be updated on this funding page as well as our website at www.thespotmediagroup.com .   

Initially, funds will be directed to support local small businesses in Central Pennsylvania and neighboring regions. As donations increase, we will consider expanding relief to small businesses in additional geographical regions.

The small businesses and projects chosen as a part of the Small Business Marketing Relief Fund are at the sole discretion of The Spot Media Group, LLC. Small businesses may apply for marketing relief consideration on our website at www.thespotmediagroup.com

The Spot Media Group, LLC will extend services only as donations in the Marketing Relief Fund are available. A nominal percentage of donations may be allocated for administration costs if needed.
