In 1988, the rules governing business ownership for U.S. women entrepreneurs changed.

The Women’s Business Ownership Act of 1988 (H.R. 5050) became law.

This helped remove barriers that had made it harder for women to build businesses.

It eliminated state laws that required women to have a husband or male relative co-sign a business loan.

It also established the Women’s Business Center program and created the National Women’s Business Council.

35+ years later, we celebrate the efforts of those who championed women business owners, while recognizing the work continues.

Because access, recognition, resources, and legacy matter.

Manufacturing isn’t always the part of the business story we see.

We see the finished product.
The beautiful packaging.
The full shelves.
The “Add to Cart” button.

But behind every product, there’s a creator, a maker, whose products are part of what the economy runs on: beauty products, apparel, furniture, beverages, food, technology and much more.

Today, we’re celebrating the businesses making, manufacturing, building and innovating in our community.

Here’s to making more. Building more. And creating businesses worth remembering.

As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the wider communities in the diaspora whose histories, cultures, creativity, businesses, traditions and contributions are an essential part of the larger Hispanic American story.

From Afro-Latin rhythms that have moved across borders and generations to art, food, entrepreneurship, activism and community-building, Black Hispanic people continue to shape the cultural fabric of the United States and beyond.

To every Hispanic entrepreneur, creator, leader, innovator and community builder, we celebrate you!

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month!!

Holiday sales don’t merely happen because people are shopping. They happen because you showed up with the right offer at the right time.

High-performing holiday campaigns start with two things: identifying the products that will actually get traction, influencing and reaching the customers who buy early.

If you’re still figuring out how you’ll keep up with marketing while actually running your business, you are not behind , but now is the time to act.

Swipe through for 5 reasons your business might miss out on holiday sales, and then join us for our Holiday-Ready: Plan Smarter and Sell More This Holiday Season.

Let’s show up with purpose and make this holiday season count.
