The WindsorEssex Small Business Centre knew its plan for Digital Main Street was ambitious. It had just launched a Digital Service Squad through the program whi...ch combines grants and one-to-one support from the Province of Ontario to help main street businesses strengthen their online capabilities. But the challenge ahead was connecting with the staggering amount and diversity of businesses on main streets throughout nine BIAs in the City of Windsor as well as the BIAs in LaSalle, Amherstburg, Tecumseh, Harrow, Essex, and Kingsville. It was funny because I had in my mind how I was going to reach all of these businesses across 15 BIAS but once the (squad) got out into the community we realized, nope, first we’ve got to get the word out, says Shannon Dyck, business advisor at the Small Business Centre and the coordinator for the program. The solution to getting high tech tools and advice to the area’s businesses? Good old fashioned boots on the ground. They just blitzed like crazy and knocked on as many doors as possible.
