Hundreds of Eau Claire Businesses Utilize Free Future Planning Tools

In just over one week, more than 500 people have visited a website developed by a local advertising agency to help businesses and non-profits in need during the COVID-19 crisis. 

"We're so happy that local businesses are finding the information on eauclairestrong.com helpful especially during this time of need. With millions of business owners searching for hope during this crisis, we want to encourage and uplift them even in the smallest of ways. Small businesses are the heart of our economy and we've made a commitment through eauclairestrong.com to support them," said co-owner Chris Herzog.

The new website, eauclairestrong.com, created by STOKES|HERZOG Marketing + Consulting. is designed to give businesses and non-profits a place to find the latest information on marketing and advertising strategies to help their clients and customers continue to buy their products, goods, and services. There is also a donation hub to help non-profits get the word out about their fundraisers to cover their costs during this difficult time. 

Since launching the website last week, the website has been visited hundreds of times, and the most popular tools are the donation hub and branding strategies. 

Co-owners Sarah Stokes and Chris Herzog are adding new content nearly daily as more information about the pandemic becomes available to keep business informed and offering free advice.

"There are so many efforts to give back during this time, and it's exciting to see that one of our most visited pages is the "giving back" page. This community's heart is so big and that is being felt now more than ever. If we can assist in helping organizations strengthen their strategic planning and marketing messages while also helping people find ways to give back, then we know this is a win, win!" added co-owner Sarah Stokes.

Former news anchors Sarah Stokes and Chris Herzog started the STOKES|HERZOG family of companies back in 2014. The two own the marketing and consulting agency, STOKES|HERZOG Realty which is a Wisconsin based commercial real estate brokerage, and The Juicy Good Life, an online success training company designed for women.
