Bounce Back USA Provides Free Support to Franchisees During and After COVID-19

By Chris Biscuiti, Minuteman Press International

Minuteman Press International is inviting fellow franchisees across all industries to band together and support local business during this critical time. Bounce Back USA™ is a free initiative presented by Minuteman Press and provides two free ways to support your local franchisees during this critical time:

• Free Local Listings in Communities across America – Visit www.BounceBackUSA.com, choose your location, submit your logo and text, and they’ll do the rest. You will receive a free local listing in your neighborhood.
• Free COVID-19 Awareness Posters – For any business who submits a free listing and wants to help stop the spread, they can check off a box to receive a free COVID-19 poster. In the event local delivery of posters is not possible, a small shipping charge may apply, but the posters will be free.

“Bounce Back USA™ offers these two free services to help support all of our neighboring businesses as we find a way to work together through these unprecedented times. We invite franchises and their franchisees to join this movement and help all of our local communities overcome the tremendous economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We truly believe that a rising tide will lift all ships, and we want to make sure our communities stay afloat,” says Nick Titus, President, Minuteman Press International. 

The idea for Bounce Back USA originally came from John Taylor, owner of Minuteman Press franchise in Nashville, Tennessee. John explains, “I realized that what I need to do is simply engage Nashville. Well, how can I do that? I can’t force it on them nor did I want to. Then, it hit me, and Bounce Back Nashville – now Bounce Back USA – was born.”

John adds, “I am humbled by how well Nashville’s business community is coming together with no vested interest other than solidarity. To watch their eyes open, and say to me what a great idea, it just warms my heart.”

In just four days since the nationwide launch of Bounce Back USA, there have been over 1,000 free local listings received and posted for local businesses across America. Nick Titus adds, “We are excited to help all businesses large and small and lift each other up during this critical time. It’s not just in Nashville but in communities across America where we are all in this together, and that’s what Bounce Back USA is all about.”

Here are five additional tips to support local businesses and communities during this critical time:

1. Order takeout and delivery from your favorite local chains and establishments. You can also buy gift cards as well to support them right now.
2. Say thank you to essential workers by donating food, supplies, and services from local shops. The business will appreciate it as will the workers.
3. Take advantage of virtual sessions offered by local gyms and other facilities who are currently closed. This will help them get business and you get exercise.
4. Get yard signs celebrating Class of 2020 graduating seniors and to boost community spirit.
5. Show empathy to our fellow neighbors and remember we are all in this together.
