Register for "How to Survive a Recession" Class
The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with SCORE, Counselors for America’s Small Business, to present “How to Survive a Recession.” The class, which is free and open to the public, will be held 6-7 p.m. Jan. 20 at the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, 1200 N. Oak St. Seating for the class is limited, and registration prior to the Jan. 19 deadline is encouraged. To register, go to ChamberAcademy.com. “How to Survive a Recession” will offer practical strategies for reducing the impacts of a recession on small businesses including methods to reduce expenses, increase revenue and restructure debt. “The recession storm is here,” said Mark Hess, SCORE counselor and program instructor. “Expenses are rising, consumer spending is down, competition is intensifying and debt is increasing. For small businesses, that means fewer customers with fewer dollars to spend and greater competition for those dollars. This class is designed to help small businesses better weather the storm.” For more information, contact Blakely Jenkins at (843) 916-7232 or Blakely.Jenkins@VisitMyrtleBeach.com.
