With so many of us working from home, it’s not only more important than before to get your company in front of clients, it’s more difficult.
With so many of us working from home, it’s not only more important than before to get your company in front of clients, it’s more difficult.
Almost every company out there, from multinationals to multi-generational family businesses, is struggling with cash flow. However, now is not the time to sit back and wait for the troubles to pass. This is when business owners need to start pushing to ensure they’ll make it through, and thrive on the other side of this crisis. The problem is few businesses have the available funds to make that extra push to stay top of mind in their consumers.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Calgary Better Business Bureau (BBB) to offer a digital marketing grant for BBB members.
“We believe in local, Calgary businesses,” Dave Taylor, co-founder of IFM said. “We’ve worked with, and admired so many neighbouring businesses and entrepreneurs who are changing this city for the better, and we want to be part of that change.”
By offering this grant now, we hope to give local businesses a boost so they can keep building into this community we are proud to call home.

In Front Marketing (IFM) has been a member of the local BBB since May 2018. Over the years, we’ve relied on BBB to help us find suppliers, customers and even plumbers.
So, when we came up with the idea to create a grant that would help local businesses during this difficult time, we turned to the BBB to help.
The BBB X IFM Digital Marketing Grant
When we approached Rob MacDonald at the Calgary BBB, he was excited to work together to help BBB members. Together, we created a digital grant that would not only help businesses get through this difficult time, but set them up to succeed in the digital realm going forward.
To do that, IFM and the Calgary BBB are offering a 50% discount on digital marketing for local businesses.
The price breakdown looks something like this:
An investment of $500 + $250 grant from the Calgary BBB + $250 discount from IFM
= $1,000 value

Take advantage of your opportunities during COVID-19
This grant is available for a limited time to those struggling with the new marketplace the pandemic has created. We believe that many of the changes we have seen, like an increase in digital traffic to well-positioned companies, will continue long past this global crisis.
By ignoring the changes happening now, companies are choosing to ignore the future of business. But, by making the move now, with the help of this grant, you can position your company for success in the new normal.
