COOL FINDS

• Cincinnati's launching a program to help small businesses upgrade their spaces, offering grants of up to $20,000.

The Commercial Tenant Improvement Program, which had a successful pilot in 2023, aims to cover interior improvements like lighting, flooring, and electrical work. Just Q'in BBQ owner Matthew Cuff, who used the grant to expand to a second location, says it was "instrumental" in minimizing out-of-pocket costs for small business owners without deep pockets or private investors. Applications are open now through October 21 at 5 p.m. If you would like to learn more, click here.

SMALL BIZ SPOTLIGHT

Tyler and Bryce Kloster turned their love for backcountry exploration into a thriving business with Karakoram, a company that designs high-performance gear for outdoor adventurers. Starting with splitboard bindings in 2008, the twins had to teach themselves everything from coding to bookkeeping while growing their business. Through hard work and determination, they’ve built a trusted brand with customers around the world.

PRIVACY

Google's new "confidential matching" is shaking up ad targeting by combining its insights with your business's first-party info in a privacy-friendly way. Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), this method keeps data encrypted and secure, addressing privacy concerns while still letting you reach the right audience. It's a step forward in balancing ad effectiveness with data protection, even as Google adjusts its cookie plans.

How Can You Possibly Keep Your Personal Info Safe?

Simple. Get a virtual mailbox.

When your mail is sitting in your physical mailbox, opportunistic thieves feast. And the last thing anyone needs is for personal information to fall into the hands of identity thieves eager to use it to commit fraud and other crimes. 

To keep your postal mail and personal information private, simply set up a virtual mailbox so that your mail is delivered to a safe and secure location. You’ll immediately be notified via the user-friendly app so that you’re in total control.

You’ll be able to access and manage your mail wherever and wherever, and you can request to open and scan mail, forward to another address, shred or recycle, or schedule for pick-up.

Anytime Mailbox is modern mail management that leverages technology to keep you safe, free up your time, and bring you peace of mind.
