COMMUNITY SHOWCASE

Local Legends Spotlight

Celebrating our community, one business at a time.

Each month, we feature a standout local business to our audience—and give that partner a turnkey marketing kit to share with theirs. It’s free, simple, and built to grow awareness and customers for everyone involved.


What is Local Legends Spotlight?

A no-cost, monthly cross-promotion where we:

  • Feature one local business across our email newsletter and social channels
  • Create and deliver a ready-to-use marketing kit for the partner to share on their channels
  • Drive organic exposure and conversions for both brands—without extra work
