The City of Peoria’s has initiated the second phase of an outreach program designed to provide free marketing materials to local businesses economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a press press release from the city.
The City of Peoria Small Business Task Force is providing new banners, tabletop signs, social media graphics,and a website on safety to Peoria businesses to help promote their businesses and inform patrons that they follow safety guidelines.
Businesses can choose from two banner options: one sign that reads: “We’re Open” and another sign that reads: “We’re Open Virtually.” These banners are green for patrons to easily recognize that these businesses are open and that they maintain healthy, safe environments, according to the press release. The smaller tabletop sign is also green with similar language and also includes the business’ phone number for patrons to call if they have any questions or concerns.
“Our incredible partnerships with ASU, SBDC, and the Peoria Chamber of Commerce continue to serve as important emergency conduits for our business community," Mayor Cathy Carlat said in the press release. "Our first phase of the banner program proved helpful, and with information changing and moving quickly, we want to be a steady source of support for our businesses. I hope Peoria residents continue to support and shop local, so together we can return stronger."
