SALT LAKE CITY When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March of last year, the economic upheaval it wrought was devastating nationwide with businesses everywhere seeing their revenues plummet as states and cities issued stay-at-home orders to prevent the spread of the virus.
For Utah entrepreneur Linda Lindeman, owner of NAAG Tag, a West Jordan-based name tag and engraving company, the impact of the shutdown was immediate as revenues fell precipitously in the early days of the pandemic. We actually dropped 90% in the first few months, now we re up to about 50%, she said. We ve come back a long way but we re still struggling to pay everything and do everything.
