Last June, we enlightened you about a marketing-related grant from the Government of Alberta. Did you take advantage of it?
Here’s the update: Applications are currently closed for the partnership marketing program which was aimed at tourism businesses looking to inspire persons to visit Alberta through responsible travel.
Meanwhile, the cooperative investment program which is designed to help with tourism-related marketing will be opening applications in the spring from April 1 to 30 and in the fall from September 1 to 30, 2021.
Go to our previous journal entry to get all the deets on eligibility and see how we can help you with the application process from start to finish.
Elsewhere, the Canada United Small Business Relief Fund (CUSBRF) just reopened to all provinces in mid-February of 2021.
The CUSBRF seeks to help small to medium-sized sole proprietors and partnerships who have been operating after September 1, 2020. They can be for-profit or not-for-profit organizations.
The amount, $5,000, will go towards COVID-19-incurred expenses including personal protective equipment, office space adjustments, and last, but not least, web/ e-commerce capability.
As you may know, we at The Art of Business help you with setting up, designing, or revamping your existing website. Need e-commerce capabilities, too? We’ve got you covered!
Have a look at our portfolio to see others we’ve worked with. Most recently, we did a website overhaul for our client, Phair Business Solutions. Read all about it in our marketing journal entry!
When it comes to redesigning a website or even setting one up for the first time, The Art of Business doesn’t just look at the basics.

But we take things a step further.
Our Evoker of Dreams, Ed, helps us bring the element of branding to your site in a unique way. No — he doesn’t just “do the graphics,” which he’s a total genius at doing.
In his own words, Ed “receives [his] clients’ requests and visually represents it in a way that makes sense in how it is perceived by others… in a way makes their companies look way better than they were perceived in the market.”
He aims “to communicate things properly [… and] to [tackle] the most challenging ideas [by finding] a way to represent it visually when nobody else knows how.”
You see, at The Art of Business, it’s never JUST about what we can do for you. We go beyond the singular marketing services to give you what you need, not what you want.
With us as your strategic marketing partner, you can rest assured that any and all funding towards your marketing results in leads, engagement, and PROFIT!
This year alone, we saw another one of our clients, In n Out Cleaning Services’ website view count go up by 300%! We did a feature for them as well in our marketing journal.
