Entrepreneur + business operations in small towns have unique growth strategies that differ from urban + online companies. Most small town businesses are brick and mortar with little, if any online presence. Small Town + Co. Podcast helps small town businesses navigate the digital world, social media marketing and business growth to increase sales and reach their personal and professional goals. I have one foot in the urban art world of Toronto + the other foot is in Highlands East, Ontario -- between Bancroft + Haliburton -- the southern most part of Algonquin Park. In today’s episode I am speaking with Emily Clarke. Emily is millennial, a brilliant writer, and about to study veterinary administration in January 2020. She has spent a lot of time in Bancroft, Ontario, the small town I’m currently focusing on. Emily is my daughter I’m trying to talk her into moving out of the GTA to start a business in a small town. Some background. In 2002 our family was camping at Earl Rowe Conservation Area near Alliston, Ontario. We went into the small town of Alliston for lunch. I remember chatting with a middle aged woman about how lovely and artistic Alliston looked. She said, “Move here! We need young blood.” I didn’t quite understand what she meant. But now that I’m a middle aged woman in love with the small town of Bancroft, I get it. So Emily, “Move to Bancroft, we need young blood!” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/makers/message
