Nevada SBDC Launches Third Annual Small Business Challenges Survey

The Nevada Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is set to launch its third annual Small Business Challenges Survey in 2024. The survey aims to gather crucial data to aid in strategic planning and enhance understanding of Nevada’s small business landscape. 

The survey will be conducted from Monday, July 22, to Sunday, September 1, and available in English and Spanish. All responses will remain completely anonymous. 

Jake Carrico and Brad Scribner from Nevada SBDC are reaching out to organizational partners to help spread the word about the survey. They emphasize the importance of broad participation to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the community's needs. 

Nevada SBDC has provided a partner package to facilitate survey distribution. This package includes messaging templates, graphics, and custom survey links specific to each partner organization. The more responses collected, the better the insight into the challenges faced by small businesses across the state. 

The partner package includes: 

• Messaging Templates: Email and social media templates in English and Spanish can be modified to suit the target audience. 
• Survey Banners: Graphics for use in email blasts, website embeds, and social media posts, with an option to include the partner organization’s logo. 
• Survey Social Graphics: These graphics are designed for Instagram and Facebook posts and can be customized with the partner organization’s logo. 

Each partner organization has received a unique survey link to ensure that all responses are attributed correctly, eliminating the need for participants to select a referral source. 

To maximize response rates, partners are encouraged to share the survey at least two to three times over the six weeks via newsletters, social media, or their website’s homepage. The results will be compiled and shared with the partners by September 23, 2024. 

For more information or assistance, partners can contact Jake Carrico at [email protected] or Brad Scribner at [email protected]. 

Nevada SBDC appreciates the support of its partners in this significant endeavor to better serve Nevada’s small business community. To access the Partner Package, visit https://nevada.box.com/s/i3pvn1i7l75soohjgw5un35i39avclbh. For more information, visit www.nevadasbdc.org.
