Could underpricing make it harder to win the work you want?

In this clip from a previous NYSBDC Learning Lab webinar, Marie Danielle Vil-Young, founder and creative director of À Votre Service Events®, shares a lesson from her own experience: price should reflect value, not fear.

For creative entrepreneurs, pricing can signal experience, confidence, and value. Charging appropriately also helps build a business that can invest in quality and sustainable growth.

Behind many successful small businesses is strong research, planning, and industry insight.

As part of this month’s focus on tourism and seasonal business, our NYSBDC Research Central team compiled resources exploring agritourism, farm-based experiences, tourism trends, and opportunities across New York State and the Northeast.

From Cornell Cooperative Extension and USDA data to industry and legal resources, these tools help entrepreneurs better understand evolving markets, customer behavior, and growth opportunities.

After 32 years with the New York SBDC, Andrea Lizak of the Greater Buffalo Small Business Development Center still has a simple answer when asked what makes her day better: seeing her clients.

And when asked to complete the sentence “Small business makes _____ possible,” her answer was just as simple:

Dreams.

U-pick farms, farm stays, classes, tours, seasonal festivals, and direct-to-consumer experiences are helping fuel the growth of agritourism across New York State.

According to the USDA Economic Research Service, U.S. farms and ranches generated $1.26 billion in income from agritourism services in 2022, a 12.4% increase from 2017 after adjusting for inflation.

For many farms, welcoming visitors has become more than a side activity. It is a way to diversify revenue, connect with local communities, and create new opportunities beyond traditional operations.

Summer in New York means farmers markets, outdoor dining, local attractions, seasonal experiences, and maybe finally putting the wool socks away, but keeping them nearby just in case.

It’s also a busy season for small businesses across the state.

From tourism and hospitality to recreation, retail, and seasonal events, summer activity helps support entrepreneurs and local economies across New York.

Keep an eye on our feed throughout June as we highlight tourism, agritourism, seasonal businesses, and the people helping them grow.

From major ports and rail networks to airports, border access, and diverse international markets, New York offers strong advantages for global trade.

Thanks to the work of NYSBDC International Trade Director Dr. Mercedes Sanchez-Moore, our international trade program has grown into a stronger resource for small businesses exploring exporting, importing, and global market opportunities.

Through our Small Business Development Centers across New York State, business owners can connect with specialized advisement and resources to help them navigate international trade and other specialty areas.

If your business depends on vendors or suppliers, it may be time for a quick check-in:

✔️ Are deliveries consistent?
✔️ Have costs changed unexpectedly?
✔️ Do you have backup options?
✔️ Are communication timelines clear?
✔️ Could a regional supplier reduce delays?

A strong supply chain starts with reliable partners, and small adjustments today can help reduce disruptions tomorrow.

Yes to one more request.
Yes to one more task.
Yes to fixing one more problem.

Every “yes” carries weight, and for small business owners, it can add up fast.

Sometimes the healthiest answer is: not right now. 💚

We see you.

The person behind the business. The one solving problems, answering emails, managing stress, and still showing up. This Mental Health Awareness Month, don’t forget to make space for yourself.

You need rest, support, and care, too. 💚

We’ve been keeping a secret... 🤫

We heard our clients loud and clear: "We need a space to connect without the noise." So, we did it. We hosted a private, clients-only social to see what happens when you put a room full of NYC entrepreneurs together just to support one another.

The energy? Electric. The impact? Essential. ⚡️

At the Midtown Manhattan SBDC, we know that community is the backbone of innovation. Last night proved that when we break down the walls between "solo-preneurs," we create a movement that can change the landscape of business in NYC.

The "Word Cloud" says it all. This was just the beginning. 🗽✨

Want to be in the room for the next one? Make sure you’re connected with us—big things are coming.
