Examples

A bed and breakfast may belong in both the NRV Travel Guide and the NRV Wedding Guide.

A local spice shop may fit within Made in the NRV, the NRV Travel Guide, and potentially the NRV Wedding Guide.

A florist may reach couples through the NRV Wedding Guide while also connecting with local shoppers through Made in the NRV.

A senior-care consultant, financial professional, home-service company, childcare provider, or other professional service business may find a natural home in NRV 101.

The goal is simple: help local businesses become easier to discover in the places people are already looking for ideas, services, and recommendations.
