Congratulations to our Thunder Bay team who helped make Sarah’s digital dreams come true for her business!

Lovely Body Received a $2500 Digital Transformation Grant! Hear Sarah's story of using the grant below.

"As we adapted to the new landscape of the pandemic, we turned our shop front into more of a general store with counters for customers. As each customer experience became 1:1, we added a second POS/till to help move customers through the shop more quickly, and shorten line times. We also enlisted the help of a local social media company to take photos for us and to create videos to help promote changes to our business to our customer base. We used our $2500 Digital Transformation Grant to purchase a new iPad (used as 2nd POS), a QR code scanner to help speed check out as well as checking inventory, as well as for the production of social media photos and videos. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to adapt our services, and even more so with the help of the Digital Transformation Grant"
