5 Steps to Unite Community Well-Being and Small Business Productivity goals.

As we anticipate the joyous arrival of Kwanzaa on December 26th, 2023, a unique opportunity beckons for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The first day of Kwanzaa, with its guiding principle of Umoja—Unity—urges us to reflect on and actively pursue ways to intertwine community well-being and small business productivity goals.

In the spirit of Umoja, which requires a principled and harmonious practice, let’s explore five transformative steps to champion community well-being in our small business endeavors.

Building a Unified Business Ecosystem:

Umoja teaches us that unity is both a principle and a practice of togetherness for mutual benefit. Embrace this concept by consolidating your business operations into a harmonious ecosystem for you and your clients.

ThrivCloud consolidates communication, orders, invoicing, and events into a single platform, eliminating the need for small business owners to juggle multiple tools.

Customizing Inclusivity:

Align your business with the language of unity by embracing inclusivity. Since only 25% of internet users speak English, break down language barriers to connect with a broader diaspora audience.

ThrivCloud speaks the language of your business by offering a customizable interface available in both English and Spanish. Future releases will include Portuguese, Swahili and full WCAG2.1 compliance.

At B1Thrive, we’re committed to a global diaspora accessibility. Currently, various abled users can enjoy the ThrivCloud’s semi-compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 level AA success criteria).

ThrivCloud ensures that language and ability barriers are broken down, allowing the development of representative economies that serve the global diaspora.

3. Strengthening Bonds Through Streamlined Communication:

Practice principled togetherness by centralizing communication with employees and customers. Utilize the customizable Knowledge Base or Messaging feature to allow meaningful connections with, and between, clients, customers, employees, or subscribers. Strengthening these bonds promotes both community well-being and business productivity.

The platform’s communication tools are 100% customizable, allowing you to choose between broadcast or personalized notifications. ThrivCloud makes it easy for business owners to stay connected.

4. Notice Board for Community Engagement:

Take a page from Umoja’s emphasis on harmonious living together. Use ThrivCloud to Implement a notice board and event management system within your business. Notify, engage, and organize events to create a thriving community around your brand.
