At Innovate Hampton Roads, our mission is to energize and elevate the entrepreneurial spirit within the Hampton Roads region. Today, we’re thrilled to share a groundbreaking initiative that promises to revolutionize Portsmouth’s retail sector.
Bloom, a visionary in fostering retail entrepreneurship, is launching an exceptional accelerator program designed explicitly for Portsmouth-based retailers. This initiative, generously funded by the Portsmouth Economic Development Authority, is not just an opportunity – it’s a launchpad for aspiring retail entrepreneurs in the Portsmouth community.
Imagine a space where your retail dreams can take flight – that’s what Bloom offers. This dedicated retail space is more than just a physical location; it’s a nurturing environment with an educational program tailored to retailers. Here, entrepreneurs like you can learn the intricate nuances of running a successful retail business.
Keep 100% of Your Sales. Yes, you read that right! Participants in this program will have the unique advantage of retaining 100% of the proceeds from their sales. This aspect is pivotal, allowing entrepreneurs to reap the rewards of their hard work and creativity fully.
In today’s digital age, a robust online presence is vital. However, the magic happens when you translate this virtual success into a tangible, physical retail experience. Bloom’s accelerator program is designed to do just that – help you convert ‘clicks to bricks.’ This enhances your business scope and contributes significantly to the vibrancy and economic health of Portsmouth’s retail landscape.
