I have been thinking about how I can promote my community. I wanted to do something personal because nothing promotes a business better than when a customer says to a potential customer, "the food is great there" or "talk to John, he took care of me" or the all-time favorite, "let me make a call for you". 

​

I am aware of Yelp, Facebook, Twitter, etc. This effort is about keeping it local and promoting the people you do business with every day. Anybody can buy an ad on Facebook or Google and get lost in the forest of millions of people being bombarded by ads. This is my attempt to make it Personal again. 

​

Call me old-fashioned; I enjoy going to businesses where I know the owner, the general manager, or a key employee. I enjoy the transaction and a relationship is formed; the heart of the community gets stronger.

​

If you are inspired and you have a website, create your own Promote Our Community page and list the businesses you frequent and support. It can be Business to Consumer (B2C) or Business to Business (B2B) or both. You can use social media too. Whatever you decide just do something because, in the end, the people of our community are going to be the ones that get us back to normal.
