Road Trip

Beginning in December, The Corporate Garage will hit the road in a series of tours of different small businesses around the state of Virginia. Once a week you can read about a small business here in Virginia. Find out how they got started, what obstacles they’ve faced and are still facing, how they overcome them, and what they’re doing differently.

If you want to join the social media groups to watch each of five communities of small businesses growing around the state, email me. I’ll send you an invitation. The groups are free to join, but you do need an invitation. Just send your request to Becky [at] TheCorporateGarage [dot] com.

The goal? To teach communities and small businesses how to connect to the internet, how to use social media to leverage their business, how to create webpages and how to form a “tribe” of loyal customers who support, promote and buy their product or service. If you’re not familiar with the concept of a “tribe,” I suggest finding out more by reading Seth Godin’s new book, “Tribes,” or by reading the free ebook “Tribes, Casestudy eBook” that accompanies the book. You can download the ebook free here. You can also download the audio version of Tribes, read by Seth Godin himself, here.

The statewide road trip takes place next spring. Join us for a series of features and multimedia on small, rural businesses across Virginia.
