Athol Small-Business Marketing
For the manufacturing, healthcare, and retail businesses that anchor the local economy, the difference between a steady year and a slow one often comes down to whether nearby customers can find them first. Athol is a small North Quabbin mill town where L.S. Starrett tool manufacturing remains a major employer alongside healthcare and retail. From Downtown Athol and Millers River to the small businesses around them, Athol has a local character a generic marketing program tends to miss.
