Technical Assistance
Our staff is here to help your business thrive online with personalized one-on-one consultations. Whether you need a helping hand navigating the tools you already have or have a specific project you need a new solution for, we can help guide you through the numerous options available or connect you to the right partners to grow your business.
Consultations are free for non-profits and Columbia Pike businesses. Each consultation is conducted via video chat and lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour. Please allow 48 hours for our staff to process your request and schedule your consultation.
Roundtable Discussions
Following the success of the recent “Business Listening Session,” the Columbia Pike Partnership decided to host regular roundtable discussions (virtually) with Columbia Pike businesses. Business owners and managers are invited to openly discuss the challenges they are facing, share creative solutions they’ve found, and collaborate on new initiatives.
Stay Connected
Our Columbia Pike Businesses online group provides a platform for businesses along the Pike to communicate with each other regarding a variety of topics including safety concerns, recommendations, and collaborations. The group allows members to add events to a shared calendar, poll fellow members about important issues, ask for recommendations, or brainstorm together on new ideas in one convenient place.
In the wake of the pandemic, we launched a Facebook group, to allow both residents and businesses to stay connected, share important resources, and provide updates for the Columbia Pike community. This group is still active and you can find it on Facebook as “Columbia Pike Businesses & Community Support”
