All 20 Trends Driving Rural Small Business in 2011

By

Each year, I do a rural small business trends article for Anita Campbell’s Small Biz Trends. Here’s the 2011 Trends Driving Rural Small Business.

In addition, I like to bring some bonus trends to my email subscribers, items that don’t fit into that article, but are important for rural economies, along with some more analysis from me. The email subscribers have already received it, but now you can read Part 2 of the 2011 rural small biz trends here.

Finally, you can download a PDF Report of all 20 trends. To save it on your computer, right click on the link, and choose Save Target As. For Firefox or Chrome users, choose Save Link As.

Please do share this report with your staff, organization members and businesses that would benefit from reading it. Note: You must ask permission before you reprint it in any publication.

If you’d like to subscribe to our email newsletter, sign up below.

Note: I will never sell or distribute your contact information to any 3rd party. Every issue will have instructions on how to opt out.

  1. I resolve to hit a new blog each day, and I’m glad to have found yours. At one of my blogs, called The SMB Collective, I’m trying to post articles that help all small and medium business owners. I have to say, I had not thought of geographical constraints on business owners.

    Perhaps you’d like to exchange ideas some time or another, Becky?

    I’m always interested in expanding my horizons; thanks for considering.
