A SMALL BUSINESS  ECOSYSTEM

Come Grow With Us

The "Stand Outs" are Collaborating!

SMALL + LOCAL = SMALLOCAL

COLLABORATIVE CAMARADERIE

  • Small Business Owners working together to promote, educate, and collaborate with each other to create more awareness and profitability to all who participate. 
  • A directory of impassioned local businesses that consumers will Know, Like, and Trust due to affiliation with this branded collaborative.
  • NOTE: This site, IMSMALLOCAL, is the "Introduction" site for educating, collaborating, and recruiting. We; you (if you choose to join) and other like-minded business owners, will help to build an entity unlike any other. If you have even a speck of curiosity, please continue reading. 

PROBLEM

Small local businesses are continually losing market share to large corporations and franchises. The resources of the large corporations make it hard for small business to compete.

MISSING

What is missing is the piece to the puzzle of small local business that allows a level playing field against the large corporations and franchises. 

TOGETHER WE CAN FIX A PROBLEM...

...and put the missing pieces together to the puzzle of Small Business Ownership.
SMALLOCAL is in its infancy. If you are a small business owner, are passionate about your business, your staff, and your customers, then please join the journey in creating a community of like-minded owners who want to grow, prosper, and give back to those who support them. 

IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

Before you imagine...

... please pause the natural comparison mechanism that is innate in all of us. Often, when describing SMALLOCAL to others, the first response is an "Oh it's like..." comparison to another business model. Fortunately, SMALLOCAL is unlike any other business in its entirety, yet similar to many businesses in its individual parts. For this reason, SMALLOCAL is a Small Business Ecosystem. 


SOCIETAL SEGMENTS OF APPEAL

SMALLOCAL appeals to two market segments

1. Small Business Owners: The businesses that exemplify Pride Of Ownership with a hands-on owner that wants to grow their business through the knowledge gained by camaraderie with like-minded professionals and a structured Word Of Mouth program through membership. 

2. Discriminating Consumers: The consumer that values originality over mass production, or personal connection over being a number, or credible testimonials over manipulated online reviews, or the sense of community in knowing that generated income and taxation gained by the local business will stay in the local area and not sent to large corporate offices elsewhere. 

THE POSSIBILITIES

THE GOLDEN TICKET! 

There are no applications. A member is asked to join by another member. A prospective business owner will receive a GOLDEN TICKET by a sponsoring member. A PHYSICAL ticket, not a digital image of one! 

Chosen businesses are those that demonstrate Pride of Ownership, are Community Minded, Customer Service is of utmost importance, and the owner is present in the business.

In this early stage, the initial members will be instrumental in defining the desired characteristics of the future members.

Strength in Numbers

Business Membership

Strength in Numbers

As individuals, a small business owner's influence can only go so far. A worldwide collective of small business owners will enormously influence decision makers in times of possible lockdowns when choosing which businesses may remain open and those who cannot. Local and regional collective buying power on certain goods that can match the wholesale pricing of large corporations, thus creating more net profit. 


Consumer Confidence

Consumer Confidence

Strength in Numbers

Most consumers want to choose local small businesses. Yet, they may lean toward the large corporate business as these are familiar through advertising and consistent through multiplication. Discerning consumers understand that online reviews can easily be maniplulated so their credibility is questionable. Knowing that a business has been chosen by their peers because of their professionalism, passion, and integrity will weigh more favorably in the mind of a desired demographic.

THINKSMALLOCAL.COM

Consumer Confidence

THINKSMALLOCAL.COM

A Business Directory themed website and app listing the SMALLOCAL member businesses. The site has ONLY member businesses. Each member will also have a page exclusive to their business. The listings will be according to geographic  address or main service area of business. There WILL NOT be public generated reviews of businesses. There WILL BE other members providing testimonials of each others businesses. 

Master Minds

Analog + Digital

AND SO MUCH MORE!

Currently, we are in a time in history where business owners are either Native Analog's or Native Digital's. This references an age, usually 35 years old. The older are accustomed to more of a "Brick and Mortar" business model, and the younger has been raised in more "Online" model. SMALLOCAL will be a bridge between both modalities so that each business will be a "Complete Package" and optimize earning potential.

AND SO MUCH MORE!

AND SO MUCH MORE!

AND SO MUCH MORE!

The SMALLOCAL concept is huge. There is a saying, "Go Big, or Go Home". There is much more that will be continually added. If any of this is appealing to you, please contact us, we'd love to talk! 

Again, welcome to SMALLOCAL, and join the journey if you are interested.

The point about Connectors is that by having a foot in so many different worlds, they have the effect of bringing them all together.

Word of mouth enthusiasm network

Why the megaphone? The best form of marketing is Word of Mouth. We are a network of business owners that speak enthusiastically about one another. And the customers will come to speak enthusiastically about ALL SMALLOCAL members. 

GET YOUR STICKERS!

Each SMALLOCAL business will receive stickers to promote their  membership as they desire. Also, each business will receive a digital file of logos to use in their own marketing. 

ARE YOU crazy enough to change the world?

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The Troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

-Steve Jobs


" Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go"

-Prince

We, the IMPASSIONED BUSINESS owners are SMALLOCAL. We confidently say, "I'm SMALLOCAL" and we enthusiastically tell everyone to "THINK SMALLOCAL!"
