ThoughtLab Announces Grant Program for Utah Small Businesses

ThoughtLab, a Salt Lake Utah web design and full-service digital marketing agency, will award four small businesses each with a four month marketing services contract to help mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19

ThoughtLab announced this week a pledge of more than $50,000 that will be dedicated to a marketing services grant program created to help small businesses in Utah cope with the economic impacts of COVID-19. In the wake of the Coronavirus, many businesses have been forced to close their doors, making now the perfect time to step up efforts that generate online sales or leads.

The grants will be for marketing services only, and qualified businesses may apply for one of four (4) grant awards between Wednesday, April 8, and Wednesday, April 22 on the ThoughtLab blog. Grant recipients will be selected by ThoughtLab based on specific selection criteria, including:

• Business must be legally registered in Utah.
• Business must have an existing website.
• Business offers a charitable component or agrees to “pay it forward”.
• Business must have a positive impact on their community.
• Business must agree to be featured in ThoughtLab media.

Once grants are awarded, the scope of services will be executed starting in May based on the results of an initial marketing needs audit. ThoughtLab will provide the consultation, strategy/roadmap, basic assets, and campaign execution during the course of the four-month grant term.
