Elgin, IL 60120

Purpose:

We are on a mission to help every Elgin area small business succeed on the web. Businesses that are online grow 40% faster than those that aren’t. (Source: BCG Report, The Connected World: The $4.2 Trillion Opportunity, March 2012). When you help Elgin area businesses get online, you help set them up for success.

When local businesses are online, it’s easier to shop local. Money spent locally is 4x more likely to be reinvested in the community. (Source: Civic Economics, Indie Impact Study Series: Survey of Independent Businesses (p.6), Summer 2012)
