#MicroBizMatters Day
Designing for Micro Business!
Micro businesses are those employing between 0-9 people - businesses like mine (where there's just me!), which is why I think #MicroBizMatters Day is the most fantastic idea, launched by my lovely friends and colleagues Tony Robinson OBE and Tina Boden while wearing their co-founder hats from Enterprise Rockers.
I've been working with Tina and Tony (T1 and T2 - I'm not sure I dare say which is which!) through Enterprise Rockers and their other business ventures for quite a number of years now, and the support they give to small businesses such as mine is fantastic. I'm now proud to say I'm involved with #MicroBizMatters Day again this year, and T1 and T2 commissioned me to produce designs for the branding (as you see above), the sponsorship brochure, souvenir programme, e-invites for our celebrity guests, banners and promotional goods. I'm delighted to have helped out as one of the Head Roadies on the days themselves - twice in London, and in Manchester.
What is #MicroBizMatters Day?
#MicroBizMatters Day is a day designed to show the world the massive contribution independent business owners and the self-employed make to the global economy, job creation and community. We call this combined power of micro enterprise owners the #PowerOfPlenty.
The fifth #MicroBizMatters Day took place on Friday 11 January 2019, with thousands of business owners joining in with #IGave11 - tips for other micro biz owners, or 11 minutes of their time. We even trended at #2 on Twitter for the afternoon! The next #MicroBizMatters Day will be on Friday 10 January 2020, live from Preston, when hundreds of thousands of micro business owners will be giving their time to help other micro business owners somewhere in the world. The three main areas of focus for action to help other micro enterprise owners are:
- #Customers
- #Cashflow
- #Chat
This annual day of Recognition, Action and Learning helps us achieve the aim of the Enterprise Rockers’ global community and movement that was launched in January 2012; that aim is ‘to make life better for micro enterprise owners everywhere’.
#MicroBizMatters Day of actions is primarily for these people – the #PowerOfPlenty. But on #MicroBizMatters Day everyone can play and do something to support micro enterprise.

"Thank you so much - you are a star of the shiniest kind!"
