Small businesses in the Timmins area have a new marketing fund to tap into.
This week, Caisse Alliance announced a $20,000 fund to support small and medium businesses in Timmins, Iroquois Falls and Val Gagne. It's being delivered in partnership with The Chamber and NEOnet.
The goal is to help businesses stay open or reopen after being closed for the pandemic.
"It will connect SMEs with a marketing consultant to help them ensure business continuity and survivability by improving marketing goals, strategies and online marketing opportunities," reads the announcement.
The fund will cover the initial marketing consulting session.
"NEOnet will provide educational sessions to familiarize businesses with the marketing avenues available today. The clients will select a marketing consultant from a list of local vendors to assist them in getting an online marketing strategy off the ground," according to the news release.
