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.

THE TEAM BEHIND THE GUIDES

Built Locally by KeyBuzz Digital Marketing

The NRV Guides are being developed by KeyBuzz Digital Marketing to help local businesses become easier to find, easier to understand, and easier to choose.

The focus is not on creating another generic directory. It is on building useful local resources that connect people with businesses, places, and services across the New River Valley.

Digital marketing should connect the dots — not create more things for a business owner to manage.
