I’ll cut right to the chase. COVID-19 has been scary — not just for individuals afraid of getting sick or losing their jobs, but for companies as well. No business owner wants to lay off any of their employees, temporarily close their doors, or risk having to shut down permanently with no money coming in to cover overhead costs.
In Georgia, Governor Brain Kemp has recently allowed some nonessential businesses to open back up (with safety precautions in place, of course).
During this time, we’ve seen various organizations around Atlanta continue to support local businesses and restaurants financially, creatively, and resourcefully. It has been encouraging to witness this community “come together” in unity to keep small businesses alive while they keep their employees safe.
As members of the Atlanta community ourselves, we’d like to give these heroes a shout out.
AJC offers free advertising to local restaurants during COVID-19 crisis.
One of the most deeply wounded industries during the pandemic has been restaurants. In response, The Atlanta Journal Constitution has been offering FREE online advertising to local restaurants through its “Support Local Restaurants” campaign in an effort to keep brand awareness high and help bring in sales through pick-up orders. We know very well that successful advertising has the potential to greatly impact a business’s ability to hit the ground running when doors reopen. This act of kindness is truly admirable, AJC!
Atlanta Downtown compiled a COVID-19 resource guide for small businesses.
One of the greatest gifts organizations can give during this time is information. Atlanta Downtown has compiled a detailed list of financial and technical resources for local businesses and restaurants to find the help they need — including grants, loans, educational resources, and ideas for how they can adapt their operations to continue making sales during quarantine. Gathering lists like these helps business and restaurant owners easily find a plethora of tools and sources of relief in a time where they are fearful and overwhelmed. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Atlanta Downtown!
