Do you want to get an e-commerce website for free? Read on!
Are we offering to build you a new e-commerce website for free (like on the house?)
It is not on the house, it is a COVID-19 Business Relief Fund from Canada Untied 🙂
There is no catch here, you just need to be a Canadian small business incorporated in any Province/Territory and was active pre-COVID-19 closure in March 2020.
You need to have your annual sales or revenue report for the Fiscal year of 2019.
And your BN number. which is the nine-digit number given to your business by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
It’s for COVID-19 related expenses, such as purchases of PPE, physical space renovations to allow for physical distancing, and for developing website and e-commerce capabilities Most businesses get 5k, which is a great budget for an e-commerce website that has 2 payment gateways and up to 20 products.
Here’s what Canada United are saying:
“To date, we’ve received applications from over 1,000 small businesses to reimburse them for COVID-19 related expenses, such as purchases of PPE, physical space renovations and developing website and e-commerce capabilities.
And we’re not done yet! With another $12 million contributed by the Federal Government, we’re extending our relief fund and accepting more applications from small businesses across Canada.”

Are you delighting your customers?
I can imagine 99% will say YES right away. But my next question is: “how do you know ? ” The truth is you don’t! or maybe you “kind of ” know because you survey them once or twice a year and look at the social media interactions (for those who use it!)
Winning the war for talent
I find it quite strange that many of the good employers, cite that it is becoming more difficult to find, attract and hire the right talent, while at the same time talented professionals looking for a new challenge also seem adamant that such opportunities are rare or non-existent!
The current recruitment processes and tools are mostly cumbersome and outdated. They are not suitable for this day and age, and notably not suitable for generation Y, AKA the Millennials. Companies and Businesses are now competing for talent and need to sell themselves to the individuals as much as candidates selling themselves to the business (not literally !)
Employee Engagement
According to Aon Hewitt’s 2014 report, global employee engagement stood at 61% and it varied from region to region between 57% and 65%, which shows great improvement from previous years where in some regions employee engagement was less than 50%
