Small Businesses Are Adopting AI—Are You Helping Them Keep Up? The way small businesses operate is changing fast. For chambers, Main Streets, SBDCs, tourism boards, and economic development organizations, this shift presents a critical question: Are you equipping your members with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive in this digital era? That’s why we host webinars like "Leveraging AI for Small Business Success." In our latest session, Cherie Edilson shared 10 ways she personally used AI this week—showing real, practical applications that small businesses can implement today. It’s not just about supporting small businesses—it’s about preparing them for what’s next.

Small businesses need visibility, but local organizations don’t always have the time to manually promote every new product, service, or update. That’s why every Member Marketplace includes an Automated Emails feature—making it easier than ever for organizations to showcase their members effortlessly. In this video, our founder Cherie Edilson highlights how Southwest Michigan First Marketplace is using this tool to create a more engaging, visual resource for businesses in their network. Instead of a static directory, businesses get real visibility—and local organizations save time while driving more engagement. membermarketplaceinc.com #SmallBusinessGrowth #MemberRetention #MemberSuccess

Our monthly webinars are a great opportunity for small businesses to gain knowledge and explore new tools to help them in their #SmallBusinessJourney
Today, I’m hosting a webinar for small businesses on how to incorporate AI into their daily operations—and the need for this conversation is clearer than ever. One of our attendees shared this ahead of time: ?? “Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting. I have never used ANY AI, a total novice in this category.” She’s not alone. Many small businesses—especially solo entrepreneurs and family-run operations—haven’t had the opportunity to explore where and how AI can fit into their workflow. But AI isn't just a tech trend—it’s becoming essential for staying competitive. For perspective, I am sharing with them 10 ways I’ve already used AI this week (and it’s only Wednesday!): ? Webinar outline ? Blog article ? Improved email response ? Created a logo ? Learned a formula for Google Sheets ? Summarized a book + applied insights to my business ? Reviewed & edited a contract ? Rewrote a mission statement ? Built email outreach sequences ? Created a social media post I truly believe AI is the new e-commerce for small businesses—just like in 2020, when online selling became a must-have instead of a nice-to-have. Ignoring AI now isn't just a missed opportunity; it could mean falling behind. We’re making AI feel accessible by introducing simple tools like ChatGPT, Canva, Zoom AI, and CapCut—easy ways for businesses to save time, improve engagement, and grow sustainably. ?? What do you think about AI for small businesses? How do you see it helping main street shops, handmade brands, and small service providers? Drop your thoughts below if you have any insights for me to share today! ?? #AIForSmallBusiness #SmallBusinessGrowth #AIforEntrepreneurs #FutureOfWork Member Marketplace, Inc
