A Challenge

With so many small businesses in financial trouble today, I ask myself what can a person like me with no money do to help besides shopping or spending money at all small businesses in my small town. I will be creating a free App for a small business, add free and no intention to make money for myself, to assist a small business in anyway possible to help them in this economical crisis. I challenge my fellow "Buzztouch"ers to do the same. Create one App to help a small business in their area with no adds or intent to make revenue for themselves. Will you stand with me? LA

A great idea @LA! It doesn't take much to make and distribute a simple app after all. Why not get in touch with the local Chamber of Commerce to help not just one but a few businesses in one go? Farcat

I actually just did this! I have an app currently awaiting review that I made for a friends tanning salon. Admittedly, I hope to benefit at least a little by now having their app to show off to future clients if I ever choose to start developing for businesses

That's the spirit. Fairly easy to create a basic app and will look to do the same.

Very cool challenge! One of my apps, OVFPS, is for the local non-profit girls softball league. In it for 2013 will be information about local small business sponsors of the various teams. Kinda in line with your challenge! Mark

An act of kindness can go a long ways in this economical turmoil. We all can do it and it doesn't have to be an App. An App was just my challenge to all of you for an act of kindness. All of you can share your heart and be kind because the best sharing is for free. LA
