What is National Be Heard Day?
Small businesses around the country are encouraged to make their presence known on the 7th day of March each year. The day honors the over 145 million small businesses in the United States struggling to be heard amid the big-business-dominated chaos.
Small businesses employing approximately 47% of the workforce around the United States. It can be difficult to stand out amongst the crowd. However, small businesses are unique in several ways. Not only do they provide cutting-edge services and products, but they also invest in small-town America and local communities in several ways. When small business owners live, work, and play in our communities, their funds stay and grow. Many of these companies produce custom products that solve specific problems for large companies. They not only teach our schools in the classroom, but also on the field as mentors.
The day supports small businesses as they stand up and grab customer interest. Small businesses are encouraged to stand out by innovative marketing, clever publicity strategies, a strong visual appearance, or other creative ways to advertise their presence. National Be Heard Day encourages small businesses to stand out through innovative promotion, smart marketing, effective publicity, a strong brand image, or other innovative ways to advertise their presence. When small businesses thrive, so do our communities.
