Hello, We have some alphabet labels - black letters on red labels - that we no longer need. They are likely these: https://www.demco.com/demco-reg-alphabet-labels. If you use them, we'd be happy to send them your way. They are not complete sets. We have about 25 sheets of partially used alphabet pages and additional pages of just the letters M and B.

Local libraries can provide support to business owners through eResources in the Michigan eLibrary (MeL). To help with market research, MeL includes access to Gale Business: DemographicsNow<http://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=dn…>. Patrons can use the Demographics reports to learn about income, housing, race, age, education, retail spending, and consumer expenditures of the people in a selected geographic area such as a city, county, or ZIP code. Detailed information about the spending habits of potential customers can help determine whether an area could support new business activity. Using the People & Companies reports, business owners can create mailing lists to contact potential customers. Entrepreneurs have access to thousands of SWOT Analysis<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customlink/proxify/proxify.php?count=1&e…> (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) reports from MarketLine in Entrepreneurial Studies Source<https://widgets.ebscohost.com/prod/customerspecific/mel/auth.php?database=e…>.

Each book is summarized in a concise report that includes Key Takeaways and an Overview. Those who prefer audiobooks can listen to an Audio Summary.
