Los Angeles, CA-- In 2020, many of us have had some profound beginnings and endings! I'm fairly certain we're all a little weary from talking about politics, the "rona," or worrying about what comes next. I just want to say that I honor each and every one of you for navigating this time in the best way you can. No doubt, with your heart open to the new path being laid out before you or the old path being reinvented. Whatever the the case, COVR is here for you with mentoring support, community connection, and new and tested business ideas. We know how valuable you are to your customers, clients, and fans and the powerful role you and your business play in building strong communities. Massive waves of love to all of you from all of us at COVR. Tracee President, COVR Participate in COVR There are many ways to contribute to our all-volunteer organization—become a part of the network by posting weekly on the COVR social media pages, do a FaceBook Live interview, write an article on your area of expertise for our newsletter, or volunteering your time (an hour a week) with many of the opportunities listed below—we'd really love your help. Also, in collaboration with Retailing Insights, for their ShopTalk Q&A column published in the magazine. Send in any queries you may have on topics related to improving your business, inventory, sales, pricing, retail topics, marketing, etc. Please send us your questions, including the store name, city and state, so they can contact one of their retail specialists to help answer the questions accurately and in a timely manner. All answers will be published in the magazine. Finally, make sure to drop us a line and let us know what you need or how you can help. Social Media Please connect with us on social media! We want to hear from you and your business. COVR social media is a great place to connect with other COVR members. While it's industry standard to post on your own page daily, here at COVR we encourage you to post weekly on our pages. However, now that the awards season is officially open, we do allow and encourage more frequent product and self-promotion posting--please, no more than once a day. https://www.facebook.com/covrorg https://www.facebook.com/groups/401068139938580 Volunteering COVR wants you!
