It’s occurred to me that in the community that we are in, we have a lot of like minded folk who either work at or own businesses that could use a little promotion…
And past this, we all know of a great place to eat, hang, have a beer, get a haircut (not so much for me…but maybe for the rest of y'all)…
And to not take advantage of promoting services within our community, seems a waste.
Now…I get it.
You’ve worked hard for your business and need to be cautious of your political stance…but this isn’t that. It’s not taking a stand or posting a comment, I’d just like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support by compiling a list of companies - who/wherever you are - to share your business or services within our community.
So…here’s the dealio.
If you have or work for a business that you’d like to promote within the YakkStack Community, I’m going to make it happen.
Heck, even if you just know of the top wings, or burger joint that you’d like to see promoted, I’m happy to help spread the message.
I’m not an influencer of any sort…I will promise you no extra business…
But at the same time, the cost of your advertising here will be FREE.
I’ll compile all of the information you’d like to share, allow you to throw together a special spotlight for your business, drop all info into a PDF and make it available for all to see.
Want to get crazy?
Put out a promotion for our members…design your own coupon and I’ll add it to the mix.
Maybe…if this goes well, we can have a meet and greet Zoom Chat where you get to present your elevator pitch to the crowd. Maybe to start our Zoom Chats, I invite you to an intro before we carry on with the meeting.
Why wouldn’t we do this?
This is NOT a request for corporate sponsors…this is NOT a paid service that I intend to host…all it is, is me wanting to continue to build and support our community with you being included.
On top of it…I could always use a recommendation for wings, steak, burgers…and because I travel, would like to have some destinations in mind for when I’m landed.
Win:Win!
RULES:
If you are promoting your business, I will need to confirm the information that you provide.
If you are promoting a business that you do not own, I will need to ask permission from them - if you can get this ahead of time or provide contact information, this would help.
I am not going to promote nor vet a list of your top 100…I don’t have time nor energy to do this, so please be kind…don’t throw me into promoting every business you’ve ever done business with.
I will not be involved in Cancel Culture…don’t send me a list of businesses that you think are trash. While I can appreciate your experience, I have no intent on being involved with posting rants about poor service or quality, my only intent is to try and promote recommendations within our community.
I reserve the right to remove your business, should I find that the information provided is questionable…this is free, there are no contracts, so I will do whatever I consider best for our community.
If you are interested in taking part in promoting your business, reply to this email or post in the comments (this is the better option - my email is out of control), I’ll reach out for further information.
Add to this, because I don’t actually own a business (past substack) that I can promote, I’m just going to reach out to businesses that I’ve had good experiences with - recent - and seek permission for adding them into the mix.
Sound good?
I'd certainly be in, as long as British Columbia businesses are cool?
