Based on feedback from Sam’s Club Business members, American
small business owners’ chief operational concerns aligned with six
categories: accounting and tax preparation, identity protection,
digital marketing, payments processing, human resources and
business lending. In collaboration with industry experts, Sam’s
Club will respond to #SmallBizHelp questions with solutions, tips
and resources for saving time and money on managing a business.
Through September, Sam’s Club will also post #DidYouKnow small
business facts on social media and a series of tip-based articles
accessible at SamsClub.com/benefits.
“Small business owners often lack a network of experts to tap as
they navigate day-to-day business issues,” said Seong Ohm, senior
vice president of Merchandise Business Services for Sam’s Club. “At
Sam’s Club, we provide smart solutions by listening to our members.
The #SmallBizHelp program extends a new, direct line of
communication between time-starved business owners and trusted
resources when issues arise that are beyond their expertise.”
#SmallBizHelp is part of Sam’s Club’s broader initiative to help
small business owners save time and money through savings on
merchandise, technology-enabled benefits and anywhere, anytime
member service. Sam’s Club offers online, mobile and phone support
for critical business operations, including:
