Some big corporations — think Amazon or Walmart — have done just fine in the pandemic, even if it meant adjusting their business plans. But some smaller businesses have had to be similarly nimble with far fewer resources.
One small Black-owned business in North Carolina was able to survive by starting to run errands people didn’t have time to run.
That's why it’s hard to catch up with Tina Travis, the founder of Errand Girl of Durham, who spends a lot of time driving around town, picking up and dropping off. Recently, her precious cargo was seven-year-old Nicholas Eke, the son of one of her clients.
A Rockland online marketplace builds community during time of isolation
A s New York went into lockdown last year, Simplisk, a Rockland-based branding and marketing company, got to work pitching in to help small businesses struggling to survive the pandemic.
According to Sheila Keenan, co-founder and principal of Simplisk, it has always been the company's mission to help small businesses, and that critical time was the inspiration for its Rockland Main St. Marketplace.
"When New York started the lockdown, when that came into effect, we wanted a way to really support small Rockland businesses, but also to help the community come together digitally, since we had to be apart physically," Keenan said. "So in that isolation, we were recognizing that there was a need for small businesses to be supported, but also for people to be able to impact their local area."

Robert Caverly and his wife have been thinking about the potential benefits of a community solar farm. They like the idea of saving money while supporting green energy, but don’t have a roof that’s right for solar panels.
It was timely, then, when a man from an outfit called Community Solar Advisors recently came to their Chelsea home. He asked if they wanted to sign up for power from a project under development in neighboring Augusta.
The Caverlys were told that they could save up to 15 percent on their electric bills for 20 years, depending on their credit rating. They also could cancel the contract at any time, with 90 days notice.

Has the tech industry delivered on its promise to diversify? - Marketplace
Megan Rose Dickey: It’s hard to know exactly how well they’ve done because a lot of these commitments were looking at 2023 or 2025. So we’re still not going to see if companies have really followed through with those commitments for a little while.
Molly Wood: Yes, it is always somewhat convenient that it’s just a little farther out than we can measure.
Wood: Yeah, exactly. But there is culture. And we’ve seen a lot of stories about culture and attempts to improve that, which is harder to measure. But have you seen any actions that seem promising?
