A new program created by the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce assists local businesses in establishing an online presence.
The ‘Get Your Business Online!’ program, led by the Chamber’s bilingual Program Manager, Jose Guardarrama, has already assisted 18 local businesses, with a target of 500 by February 2025.
Intake evaluations, rudimentary website training, sign-up forms, and a variety of digital tools and resources are provided for free, while domain and hosting fees must be covered by the businesses.
The Atascadero Chamber of Commerce has a program that helps local companies become digital.
Guadarrama stated, “With a digital marketing-savvy mind, perseverance, leadership, and a passionate heart, one can achieve greatness in the business community.” “Anything is possible with an innovative and open mind.”
Josh Cross, president and chief executive officer of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce, stated, “So many business owners are attempting to navigate the fundamentals of digital literacy while administering every aspect of their business.
Jose has assisted in the creation of 18 websites through Get Your Business Online!, and this is just the commencement of our plan to assist 200 businesses by February 2025.
Guadarrama stated, “I am deeply motivated to assist our small business community.” “The most interesting aspect of my employment is the individuals! I enjoy beginning a new work week and the opportunity to engage in new conversations and network.”
