Caressa Flannery Peterson
I am an advertising / marketing / web development professional for more than 25 years, a native of Frederick MD, and a people-oriented extrovert. As a marketing professional, I genuinely love being able to connect businesses with their target markets. Putting them in front of new movers and locals through our BeLocal product and facilitating those face-to-face relationships with our BeLocal socials is a powerful marketing combo. I love my hometown and the opportunity to help others to truly be local! Check out social platforms and the guide for the latest get together.

Although it takes time for people to trust and choose a business, Belocal begins at the top of the funnel and provides multiple opportunities for a business brand to be conveyed to new and long term local residents in a relational, rather than transactional manner. We do this through a multi-platform strategy that increases accessibility through print, social, and web.
The Belocal Magazine is mailed to new homeowners every month to help these new families get established in their new community and help them discover local favorites and preferred local businesses. We also introduce them to our social pages to continue building upon their local connections.
Partners share Belocal posts on their pages and groups, boosting their brand's local authority through others' opinions. They highlight useful tips from our preferred partners, avoiding self-promotion and letting the community speak for their credibility.
A business's reputation depends on caring for the community it serves. Keep seeking chances to give back, volunteer, or donate to show that you and your business care about what your customers care about, inspiring others to "pay it forward."
