ASHFORD, Ala. (WDNews) — Grow Ashford is building an online business directory to help shoppers find local businesses ahead of Christmas.
According to Grow Ashford, the directory will cover the entire 36312 ZIP code, including businesses within city limits and surrounding rural areas. Organizers hope to launch it in early November.
The group said it has received 30 Google Form submissions, including information about several rural Ashford businesses organizers did not previously know existed.
“We need your help! If you haven’t submitted your business details yet, please go ahead and get those in,” Grow Ashford said.
Business owners can submit their information through Grow Ashford’s online business directory form.
Organizers plan to list known businesses even if their information has not been verified. However, they encourage owners to submit details to help ensure listings are complete and correct.
Businesses can also be added or updated after the directory launches.
“If you miss that deadline, don’t fret… the online directory can be edited and updated periodically, so we will be able to add or make changes later,” the group said.
Each business that submits the form will also receive a dedicated spotlight feature on the Grow Ashford Facebook page, which the group said has approximately 4,000 followers.
