Urban Emporium Relief Campaign
Want to join us in helping Mobile’s smallest of businesses? Springboard to Success is raising money to benefit the Urban Emporium, Mobile’s retail incubator.
As you are all aware, COVID-19 has devastated many small businesses in our community. The Urban Emporium incubates more than a dozen micro-retailers in a nurturing environment, many of which are women-owned businesses and now we need help in order to continue to help them. The training and oversight provided by the Downtown Mobile Alliance staff, consultants, and store Director serves to educate the retail entrepreneur in topics such as merchandising, buying plans, promotion and marketing, inventory control, cash flow management, expense control, market trends, and the management of personnel. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that is building a culture of entrepreneurship in our community. #smallbusinessrelief campaign
