Small Business Center Update
April 23, 2021

NOTE: Our office is still limiting in person contact. All of our courses are being conducted virtually. Please contact Marie at mynsterm@cravencc.edu if you have any questions.
Hello Valued SBC Participant! 
Smell that pollen! Green is in the air!

We are excited about all of the interest in counseling and improving small business we have seen recently. As the State of North Carolina opens up on the restrictions we have had in place, is your business ready to pivot once again?

We have many online courses that will help you with your ever changing small business journey.

Preparation allows us to be ready for opportunities when they present themselves.

All the Best, Jeff & Marie
May Webinar Highlight:
Be sure you are priced right for the market. Consumers are willing to buy a beer from a grocery store for $6 and are willing to purchase the same beer from a fancy resort for $12. The placement of a product or service, the consumer’s personal perception, and the customer’s environment have an impact on how items are priced. At Pricing My Product, you will learn how consumers perceive prices and how to apply psychology to your pricing strategy that is appropriate for your products, customers, and long-term business strategy.
