To help support local small businesses, the City of Barrie is joining Digital Main Street’s ShopHERE powered by Google program.
It helps independent businesses and artists build a digital presence, create an online store, and minimize the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for free!
“Having a strong digital presence is critical in these times. The ShopHERE program will provide more of Barrie’s local businesses and artists with the training and expertise to launch and maintain online stores and participate in the digital economy,” said Stephannie Schlichter, Director of Economic and Creative Development.
The program started in the City of Toronto and in May, Google Canada announced a $1 million investment to enable Digital Main Street to expand the program to municipalities across the country, offering more businesses and artists the opportunity to build their own online store.
Local businesses and artists can apply for the program by clicking here to get their online store built at no-cost.
