A Dallas-based financial services giant has announced that as part of its ongoing support for small businesses in North Texas, Comerica Bank is offering a series of new products and services designed to help those businesses to grow and succeed in the future. The bank has launched a new concept, Comerica SmallBizCo-Op, which will see the bank share its assets and resources with small business customers in the region to help them achieve their goals. Small businesses account for 99.9% of all U.S. and 99.8% of all Texas businesses, yet most are at a disadvantage compared to their bigger competitors, with significantly smaller budgets and fewer employees, and the owner usually playing multiple roles at once, Comerica said. The bank said that Comerica SmallBizCo-Op is available as a no-cost benefit to Comerica small business customers, and will provide them with a competitive advantage in a challenging business environment. SmallBizCo-Op has these components: SizeUp by Comerica – Allows Comerica small business customers to access competitive market research & data, better understand how their business compares to the competition, and ultimately make more informed business decisions. Ticket Program – Gives small businesses the chance to entertain clients or give employees a perk with Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, and other Dallas sports tickets. Every 12 months, Comerica will give small business customers two tickets to a home game. Small Business Advertising Program – Offers small business customers the chance to advertise their business using Comerica’s sports media inventory, banking center marketing TVs, and sponsored events. A small business can advertise for free on Comerica’s radio during Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, or other Dallas games. Businesses can only run one radio ad during the program’s lifetime. Through its multiple savings, rewards, and discount programs, Comerica SmallBizCo-Op offers customers a way to save on everyday business expenses like computer equipment, office supplies, and more. These include things like: It’s giving its small business customers a 40% discount on office supplies thanks to Comerica’s buying power and big company pricing discounts. Small businesses get discounted software, hardware, computers, and other tech solutions. Small businesses get access to Comerica CoReward$, a one-stop online store with discounts on thousands of items, including travel, home goods, cars, health, and more. The banking company said the launch of Comerica SmallBizCo-Op is the first of several elevated experiences in Comerica’s longer-term strategy of sharing its resources with its small business customers. As a result of the North Texas pilot program’s success, Comerica plans to expand elevated experiences further this year. In the next few months and years, Comerica plans to roll out SmallBizCo-Op to other markets across the country.
