by Morgan Alverson | Apr 7, 2020

It’s no secret that we’re in some weird and unknown times, especially if you are a small company. But during this time, our desire to help has only increased. 

Our team has come across many, many other companies doing what they can to help out small businesses during this unprecedented time. I’ve taken those resources and put them together here. This list includes free or discounted services for small companies to take advantage of. It’s a few of the tools we know and use here at Syrup and would absolutely recommend them.

HubSpot has reduced the pricing of its platform and is offering a few of its tools completely free – paid meetings functionality, quotes, e-sign, and 1:1 video creation tools. Learn more here: https://www.hubspot.com/en-us/coronavirus-response

Mailchimp has created a resource page on their site full of blog posts and information for small businesses on how to navigate this pandemic: https://mailchimp.com/resources/covid19/
