Digital Support for Local Businesses

Story inspired by Bryce Bakkegard

Covid-19 has drastically changed the landscape for many businesses in the Fargo-Moorhead area. It has left retail stores without customers, educators without students, and growers without buyers. But in the midst of this, there is an opportunity that all businesses are offered. Going digital.

In response to Covid-19, The Nice Center launched an initiative involving digital support for local businesses. They set out to use the digital marketing skills they have to help local businesses adapt their businesses to the new reality. They came together as a team with a variety of skills and backgrounds to create a truly remarkable opportunity for the community. The icing on the cake is, these services are completely free to the business.

Two weeks after launching the initiative, The Nice Center had successfully implemented digital support for 42 businesses throughout our region, and that number is continuing to grow. Artists, bars, crafters, clinics, and a game store are just a few of the businesses The Nice Center has helped digitally support.

The Nice Center is doing what they can to help North Dakotans get through this time. The Nice Center is happy they could have a small part of something much bigger, a community that supports it’s people.
