Today, Deluxe Corporation announced Bristol Borough,
Pennsylvania the winner of season two of the “Small Business
Revolution – Main Street” project.
Deluxe, which provides marketing and other
services to millions of small
businesses, kicked off a nationwide call for nominations in
Fall 2016, in conjunction with the premiere of season 1 of “Small
Business Revolution – Main Street.” After receiving 14,000
nominations from small towns representing all 50 states,
Deluxe named five finalists on Feb. 9: Bristol Borough,
Pennsylvania; Georgetown, South Carolina; Kingsburg, California;
North Adams, Massachusetts; and Red Wing, Minnesota. From Feb.
9-16, the public was invited to view videos about each
finalist and vote for their favorite town
at SmallBusinessRevolution.org.
Each of the finalist towns rallied their communities, generating
excitement locally and nationally, gaining support from
celebrities, politicians, civic groups and media. Nearly one
million votes poured into the Small Business Revolution website
throughout the week. By winning the popular vote, Bristol Borough
will receive a $500,000 revitalization in the form
of marketing services, business advice, and other support and
improvements. Efforts will be led by Deluxe’s chief brand and
communications officer Amanda Brinkman, she will be joined by
Deluxe’s small business marketing experts and Shark
Tank's Robert Herjavec. The
revitalization will be documented in an
original online series debuting
on SmallBusinessRevolution.org in the fall
of 2017.
“We were astounded by the incredible response each of the
communities had to the contest. The energy and creativity they
brought forth to drive awareness and excitement for their towns was
truly moving,” said Amanda Brinkman, chief brand and
communications officer for Deluxe. “We heard from all of the
finalists how this contest brought their towns together, instilling
a renewed sense of pride in their communities and support for their
local small businesses.”
The small town of Bristol Borough, nestled on the Delaware
River, was once the commercial hub of surrounding Bucks County, an
area that has experienced its share of boom and bust. Midway
between Philadelphia and New York, the self-described “gritty” town
is experiencing a renaissance, driven by passionate town and
business leaders. The Small Business Revolution aims to help revive
Bristol Borough as a destination for tourists and residents
alike.
Deluxe debuted the Small Business Revolution in
2015 to celebrate a century of providing
marketing and other services to small businesses and
financial institutions. The campaign started by telling
100 stories of small businesses across the country. In
doing so, Deluxe found a need to support and celebrate
small towns, which inspired the Small Business Revolution – Main
Street and its $500,000 boost. Learn more about the Small
Business Revolution and about the finalist towns
