Last year, the Pagosa Springs Main Street Program achieved national accreditation with Main Street America (MSA).
As part of our membership, MSA offers free virtual and on-demand small business training through its Small Biz Digital Trainers program.
Main Street district business owners can attend webinars, enroll in on-demand trainings, and book one-on-one sessions with expert trainers. These free resources help empower businesses to thrive in today’s digital economy. For more details and to register, visit Main Street America’s Small Biz Digital Trainers.
Since launching in 2023, the program has successfully trained over 115,000 participants, with 94% reporting a positive impact on their businesses.
PJ’s Fine Bamboo Rods, located in the heart of our district at 262 Pagosa Street, participated in the free ‘one-on-one’ digital consultation.
PJ’s co-owner Rosanna Dufour reported, “The Main Street America consultant was extremely knowledgeable, provided me with numerous ideas and resources, and was very compassionate about the challenges our Main Street will face in the coming years.
“I can’t believe this was a free resource. I walked away with more ideas and resources in one hour than I have from six-week paid marketing courses.”
