We armed Microsoft with
the right tools to connect
with small business owners.
Retail innovation
Running a business isn’t easy. Doing it alone is nearly impossible. The right partner makes all the difference, and Microsoft was eager to fulfill this role for entrepreneurs in need of IT solutions and support. But first, the tech giant needed to get small business owners at retail to consider Microsoft as the essential end-to-end partner for success.
EFM developed Small Business at Work, a cross-branded program that empowered big-box retailers to sell in the Microsoft ecosystem with small business owners. Designed to be easily co-branded and installed in any store location. Informed by insights into key pain points and purchase drivers. Tailored to speak directly to the passion of entrepreneurs. Small Business at Work positioned Microsoft as the partner with the products, expertise, and flexible ecosystem for small business growth.
