Pay it Forward in Our Lakes Region |
One of the things that makes our community so special is how we support one another. Some local businesses are thriving, while others may be going through a slower season. Sometimes, a small gesture can make a big difference. If your business is doing well, consider “paying it forward” by sponsoring a local business in the Lakes Region Area Guide. For $300, they’ll receive a full year of visibility through the Guide, our newsletter, and local Facebook groups—helping them get seen and supported within the community. No pressure at all—just an idea rooted in community. If you’d like to help another local business, reach out to Sue anytime at lakesregionmarketing@gmail.com. Because when we support local businesses, we all grow stronger together. |
