With a lot of states forcing businesses to close their doors over the past couple months, small businesses felt the pain of little to no foot traffic.Now, building customer relationships is more important than ever, and many businesses turned to the internet to help fill the gap in sales.“Everything happened, as we all know, in a matter of three days the world changed dramatically,” said Dawn Johnson, owner of Mainstream Boutique Aurora and Mainstream Boutique Castle Pines in Colorado. She’s been in business for seven years.“The passion of a small business owner goes so much deeper than people know. It’s like a child,” she said.Back in March, she was forced to close her doors. Her only solution was to move online.“I would come in on the weekend. My husband would hold the camera, my daughter who is 16 she would model the clothes,” Johnson explained. “We tried things we never tried before.” This included a virtual fashion show and a virtual selling event with one of their vendors.With limited resources, Jonson and her staff managed to post their items for sale on platforms like Instagram and Facebook in a matter of days.“Anything helps. Every time we get one sale on that I do a happy dance,” she said. And the reach of the internet brought in a following from all over.“One of the things we noticed is we had a captive audience for the first time ever,” she said.“We are social beings and I think our limitations on our social interactions have 100 percent changed the way we do so many things,” said Melissa Akaka, an Associate Professor of Marketing at the University of Denver. She does consumer insight research.“Small businesses have especially had to become innovative about how they can maintain a relationship with their customers when they need to follow all of the social distancing protocols that are in place,” she explained.Akaka said the pandemic has changed the way we buy things – and customer relationships, especially through social media, are more important than ever.“Those who have really strong brands and really strong community ties with their customers or their followers, I think have a better chance of being able to succeed on this type of platform because they already have their customers built in,” she explained.However, even companies with those strong ties are having a hard time.“We have a following, but we’re still a small family business,” said Steve Weil, President of Rockmount Ranch Wear. The company has been around 75 years, serving customers and other businesses with their clothing and other apparel. Rockmount went online back in 2001.“That has been our lifeblood quite frankly, because it enabled us to reach the world in a…disrupted retail landscape,” Weil explained. “Since COVID, it was part of our business that continued to operate whereas retail did not.”Long standing businesses like this, have seen hard times before.“Everything from tornadoes wiping our factories, to the Great Recession, and now this,” he said. “The secret of survival is never forgetting that disasters happen, and we’ve been through them every 10 years for 75 years.”Even with the help of the internet and social media, both Johnson and Weil saw a drop in sales in recent months.“It was less, it wasn't the same. But what it was able to do is keep us going because we literally would have had no income at all,” Johnson said.“Our sales plummeted to less than half of normal,” Weil said.Big social media sites like Facebook and Instagram are trying to make a difference by offering a platform for small businesses to market and sell. Facebook recently announced Facebook Shops, which will allow businesses to sell their items directly on their platform, without taking them to another site. Johnson said she plans on taking advantage of that as well.“The Facebook and the Instagrams of the world, it means a lot for companies to recognize how hard it is for small businesses. We’ll try anything to see if it works,” Johnson said.Akaka said when it comes to small businesses, there’s a lot of room for innovation, as customer relationships and online presence becomes more important.“Those who can figure out how to adapt and really think through solutions to not just their business problems but to their customers' problems,” she explained. “Those who can step up and be solutions for that are going to weather the storm much better.”  4395

When first responders arrived at Lisa Snyder's home in Pennsylvania on September 23, they found a horrific scene.Snyder's 8-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter were in the basement, hanging by their necks from a support beam, a probable cause affidavit filed with the court said. The children were in cardiac arrest and died a few days later, the affidavit said.Snyder told investigators that she thought the children killed themselves, the affidavit said. Her son was bullied at school and had talked about taking his life, his mother told troopers, and he told her he didn't want to die alone.But that story was a lie, prosecutors say. Investigators found no evidence that the boy was being bullied.On Monday, more than two months after the children died, Snyder, 36, was arrested and charged with murdering Conner and Brinley.Snyder's attorney, Dennis Charles, declined to comment when reached Monday on the phone. "My policy has always been not to discuss active cases with the media," he said.Berks County District Attorney John Adams said at a news conference Monday that Snyder continues to maintain the children killed themselves.He described investigators' findings but offered no motive."I don't know that there's any explanation for her behavior at all. I don't think that I can stand up here nor can anyone explain the horrific loss of two innocent children's lives," Adams said.Snyder was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of endangering the welfare of children, two counts of third-degree murder, tampering with/fabricating physical evidence, cruelty to animals and sexual intercourse with an animal.She's being held without bond in the Berks County Prison.'He tells me he hates school'Snyder and her children lived in Albany Township, about 75 miles northwest of Philadelphia. She told investigators that children made fun of Conner "because he is fat," and he was starving himself, the affidavit said."He tells me he hates school, every day he tells me he doesn't want to talk about school," Snyder told investigators.She told investigators that she sat down with her son the week before his body was found and encouraged him to come to her, "if you ever feel hurting yourself.""He did say to me when we were talking, I woulda killed myself already but I am scared to go by myself," Snyder said, according to the affidavit.Adams, the prosecutor, said Snyder ordered the dog lead the children were hanging from September 22 and picked it up from a store the morning of September 23.On that day, Snyder told investigators, Conner asked to build a fort in the basement when he got home from school.She told investigators that her son took two dining room chairs downstairs, along with the dog lead, and asked his sister to come play with him, the affidavit said.While the kids were in the basement, Snyder said, she put away laundry, went outside to play with the dog and smoke a cigarette, and then went downstairs to ask if the children wanted frozen pizza or Chef Boyardee for dinner, the affidavit said.First responders found the children hanging from the beam, about three feet apart, the affidavit said. The two bar-height dining room chairs were knocked onto their sides, the affidavit said.Snyder told investigators she tried to lift, Brinley, who weighed 40 pounds, but she couldn't work the "latch" on the dog lead, the affidavit said. She said she couldn't lift the 151-pound Conner either, the affidavit said."She then went upstairs and called 911 and never returned back to the basement," the affidavit said.The children died three days later.Early suspicionsAdams said investigators had questions right away."Eight year-olds, generally, that I am aware, do not commit suicide," Adams said.School officials and family members said Conner never mentioned he was suicidal or being bullied, the affidavit said. Others, including a witness who lived in Snyder's home, said Conner never told them he was a victim of bullying, the document said. A security video of Conner getting off the bus on the day his body was discovered showed no signs of distress, it said."In fact from the video, he was appeared to be a happy child," Adams said.Adams did not identify the witness who lived in the home, but said that Snyder's 17-year-old son lived there. The witness said the younger children rarely played in the basement, Adams said.Adams said the Berks County Children and Youth Services had previously been involved with the family.Adams said children were removed from the home in 2014, but he didn't specify which children. They were returned to her care in February 2015, Adams said. He did not say why the children were removed.The agency was involved with the family until November 2015, he said."As far as we can tell, from the evidence that we have reviewed, they made what appeared to be the proper decisions at the time," Adams said.CNN is reaching out to the agency for comment.'Hits us in the heart'The affidavit said three weeks before her children died, Snyder told a witness she was depressed and couldn't get out of bed.She also "made a statement that she does not care anymore about her kids," the affidavit said.In the days before her children's deaths, Snyder's gmail account made several online searches that drew investigators' interest.In one instance, her account looked up "carbon monoxide in a car how long to die," the affidavit said.Google searches on her account showed a search on a website that described an effective way to hang someone with using a simple suspension, the affidavit said.The district attorney said the case has been an emotional one for investigators."Anytime that any of us have to investigate, prosecute cases that involve the abuse or death of an innocent child, it all hits us in the heart," he said.Conner and Brinley's deaths have made authorities "appreciate the quality of life and the value of human life," Adams said."It's just not right, and it's not fair," he said. 5980

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear a dispute over a Philadelphia Catholic agency that won't place foster children with same-sex couples. The justices will review an appeals court ruling that upheld the city's decision to stop placing children with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's agency because it would not permit same-sex couples to serve as foster parents. The appeals court ruled the city did not target the agency because of its religious beliefs but acted only to enforce its own nondiscrimination policy in the face of what seemed to be a clear violation. The case will not be argued until the fall. 656

When Maribel Romero found out her 6-year-old grandson had been shot at a food festival in Northern California, she went from hospital to hospital looking for him.Stephen Romero was a happy kid, she says."This is really hard, there's no words to describe (it)," she told CNN affiliate KRON of her grandson's death. "I don't think this is fair."Stephen was among the three people killed Sunday evening when a gunman sneaked into the Gilroy Garlic Festival and began firing. Eleven others were injured at what was supposed to be a family-friendly event. About 100,000 people attend the decades-old festival each year, previous records show.And collectively, the event has helped raise "millions of dollars for local schools, charities and non-profit organizations," the festival's website says.Officers engaged with the suspect within one minute, Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said, and the suspect was shot and killed.'We need to know ... there's justice'Stephen's maternal grandmother and his mother were also shot, according to Maribel Romero, his paternal grandmother.The boy's mother was shot in the hand and in the stomach. She is expected to survive, KRON reported."I just wish that they get the people who did it," she said. "We need to know that they got this person and that there's justice."Gilroy City Councilmember Fred M. Tovar told CNN early Monday he was saddened by the news of the child's death."I pray that God will grant his family strength. My most sincere condolences. I will keep your family close in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks as you are going through the process of grieving," he said in a statement. 1654
