Hello Family, Friends, Colleagues, Businesses, Friends of Friends, etc!!!
Our wonderful town of Livingston needs your help! In case you haven’t heard yet, Livingston was recently selected as one of the top ten contenders for Season 5 of the reality television show, Small Business Revolution (SBR). Just this morning – at 4:45 a.m., the SBR team narrowed the field of top towns down to the Top 5. Livingston is one of the TOP 5 TOWNS!!! If we garner the most votes during this next week, we could win one half a million dollars in services that help to revolutionize small businesses.
Deluxe, a leading provider of business products, services, and solutions for companies of all sizes, created SBR to help small businesses, and in turn, those small towns, reignite the spark that drives them and keeps people coming back to special places like Livingston, Montana. This program believes our nation’s economy is stronger when its small towns have thriving small businesses and they put up the financial and business expertise to prove it.
This is the first time a Montana town has been selected as a top ten or five finalist in the five years of the program, and Livingston beat out a field of over 10,000 applications! Among the top five towns, Livingston has the smallest population located in a state with the smallest population, so the entire state and all your friends and family from around the country will need to rally to garner the necessary votes to win. The other four towns we are competing against for maximum votes are: Fredonia, NY; The Dalles, OR; Spearfish, SD; and, Benecia, CA.
If we garner enough votes nationwide, five to six Livingston small businesses will jointly receive $500,000 in business marketing and infrastructure improvements that could take Livingston to the next level of economic security.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:
Starting TODAY, go to https://smallbusinessrevolution.org and VOTE FOR LIVINGSTON. Voting will be open until January 21 at 11:00 p.m. EST.
