From the fires and floods that rang in the new year, to the business restrictions and revenue losses brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been incredibly tough on all businesses.
Small businesses, in particular, are the lifeblood of the Australian economy, comprising a massive 96% of all businesses, employing more than half of the private workforce.
We wanted to do our part to help businesses overcome whatever was thrown at them this year, so we partnered with Exponential Programs to create the Ultimate Business Growth Program, valued at $2,000. Winners were drawn daily as part of our Business Revival Kit campaign that ran for 82 days, hence 82 daily winners; a massive $166,000 of goodwill.
“I’m so pleased to help Aussies recession-proof their businesses while continuing to grow their sales in one of the most challenging business environments we’ve been faced with,” explains Aleisha McCall, UEC Founder and CEO. “It feels great to be making a positive contribution, providing support for marketing managers and business owners during such tough times.” Adds McCall.
It’s a sentiment that has been echoed by hard-working recipients.
“We always know putting one change a day can make our lives increasingly better but seeing it in a quantifiable way (money) really made an impact!” said Aimee, from the manufacturing industry, after receiving her Ultimate Business Growth Program. “Thank you for such an amazing gift, I will be writing in my ‘little red book’ for years to come!”
