City of Richmond
2019
We launched the Business in Richmond blog in summer 2018 in order to work with our agency and government partners to spread awareness of the amazing resources available to Richmond businesses, as well as to drive more traffic to our ww.businessinrichmond.ca website.
Our content themes are consistent with all of our digital channels. As a municipal government department, we share information about programs and resources available to support the growth and development of the business community and local economy. We will not promote a for-profit business or its product or service, nor will the City entertain any advertising offers or offers of payment to publish content. Blog content is developed in-house (50%) and through guest contributors (50%).
Some examples include:
Partner programs i.e. “Win a $20,000 scholarship from Tourism Richmond.”
Local business news i.e. “Canada’s first Indigenous woman-owned airline to
launch out of Richmond.”
Online tools & information i.e. “Find the perfect commercial space for your
business using this online interactive property listings tool.”
Government resources i.e. ‘B.C. producers and processors get government support
to enter global markets.”
Industry updates i.e. “Agrifoods to lead BC exports in 2017.”
Business events i.e. “2018 Small Business BC Awards announced.”
