Help Us Win a Grant From Chase and Grow Our Team

Written by on . Posted in Blog

2014 marks the 7 year anniversary of Harsanik.com. We launched our website in 2007 with two goals: 1) to simplify the life of anyone planning an Armenian wedding, and 2) to help small businesses who cater to Armenian weddings grow. We are thrilled that we have been able to meet and exceed our goals. But we are always looking to see how we can improve our business and better help both our users and vendors. And now we are ready to take Harsanik.com to the next level!

Vote for Us And Help Us Win a Grant From Chase

We have a few exciting announcements coming up in the next few months so definitely keep a close eye as we will be sharing some major news soon!

And in the meantime, we have applied for a $150,000 grant that Chase is giving away to 20 small businesses as part of the Mission Main Street Grants program. With the grant, we would add rock stars to our team. Our goal is to grow our business in the Armenian wedding market and better serve the needs of bride-and-grooms-to-be's and our talented vendors.

In order to make the next round, we need 250 votes by Friday October 17. All you need is a Facebook account and the voting process takes one second - no email registration, no commitment, no hassle.

We would really appreciate your support. Every vote counts and helps us get one step closer to growing our business.

Once we get 250 votes, the next phase will involve executives from Chase reviewing our application and our essay questions in order to select the 20 winners. Here is one of the essay questions we had to answer and our brief response:


How is your business involved with the community you serve? 
 
 
A key motivation for starting our business was to help local small businesses who cater to Armenian weddings grow. Our website has helped hundreds of business owners acquire new customers and become successful. When we started the business, we made a decision to always list all businesses that cater to Armenian weddings for free, as we wanted to provide an online presence for all small business owners in our community, not just paying advertisers. We have also helped coach many small Armenian small businesses on how to run a successful business in the modern age by advising them about the importance of an online presence, positive user reviews, and superb customer service.
 

Thank you to everyone for all of your support over the years and if possible, we would love it if you could take 1 second to vote for Harsanik.com here: https://www.missionmainstreetgrants.com/business/detail/59029

[Update: We received the needed 250 votes! See updated blog post.]
