BATH — Could your business use a marketing boost?
Women, Work, and Community’s (WWC) marketing mini-grants program is helping small businesses in the Mid-coast put their best foot forward through the funding of professional, effective marketing materials and projects. WWC will award a mini-grant of up to $400 to help entrepreneurs promote their businesses through targeted marketing projects.
Small business owners are asked to pitch their idea for their marketing project to a panel of judges on May 7, from 9 a.m. to noon, at University College Bath/Brunswick at 9 Park St. in Bath.
According to a news release, you must express your interest in the pitch contest and sign up for a slot by April 30. The mini-grant will be awarded by the end of May.
Entrepreneurs throughout Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties are eligible to make a pitch. Applications are welcomed from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses, as well as business partnerships. Nonprofit groups are not eligible.
Successful pitches will focus on marketing, branding and access to markets for Mid-coast microenterprises. Past grant recipients have used the funds to build websites, develop logos and branding materials, produce business cards and brochures, purchase banners or business signage, promote their products and services at trade shows and events, and collaborate with other small businesses to reach new markets.
