Help small businesses to survive

Hey,

My name is Oscars and I am young entrepreneur. My heroes are Tony Robbins and Eban Pagan. I dreamed since young age to help people using my skills.

This year I started company in my local country Latvia, which provides cheap service to small businesses in internet, which is what I do best. I invested last 5 years in internet marketing and learning business trends.

Probably you know lot of small coffee shops, flower shops and bakeries, which are run by granny. We love them here too. We have lot of them. But in our current economic times (Latvia was hit very bad after bank crisis) these shops don`t have money to spend on advertisement and getting their great product out to people. This way big corporations and chain stores try to squeeze out small shops and old people are left with bancrupt businesses.

What I do?

I help these small companies to develop brand and marketing strategy through internet and attract visitors from city to visit these people to buy their service and products. Imagine how many people live in the city and will never know that 80 year old war veteran is selling best toys in the world right around the corner.

Of course I want to keep costs as low as possible and quality as high as possible to charge lot less than any other companies in market to help these people. Many companies focus on big customers, but I believe the future is in uniqness and love for product, not factory made money products.

Currently 99% of my projects increase these small business customer amount by 50% or more. Every time I see smile on old ladys face, just makes my day.

However as I am funding my business through only my savings, I running out of money and can help less and less of these people. I don`t want to increase costs, as I still believe flower shop should be able to set up nice website for $10, not $300.

How to join my journey to save small businesses?

If you think world will have to have small businesses and help them grow, then you can help me. I tried to rise money from friends and family, but still fall short of 10,000$. That is needed to cover staff salary, cost of electricity and rent. I can`t make people to work for free, as they have to support their families too, but I don`t want to increase costs for my customers, which are small companies, who are struggling to survive in this economic.

Please help us get through and we'll be forever grateful.
