Get to know Heart on Main Street, supporting the heartbeat of your community

Patrick Keiser with Heart on Main Street connected with us here at Locable a few weeks ago as they were looking for partners that support local businesses and retailers.

He shared that they were launching a new nonprofit because, "Retailers face extreme challenges from small margins and limited access to resources, to competition with larger corporations and online distributors. A noble purpose become clear: we must do more to support the long-term success of Main Street retailers."

Our missions are clearly aligned as we provide numerous marketing resources such as free local marketing plans organized by industry and free-forever software options.
