The problem

Spotlights tend to call every business a hidden gem and every owner passionate. Owners share the ones that describe what they actually do and tell one real story about them.

What you answer

  • Which business, and who runs it?
  • Why now?
  • What do they actually do?
  • Anything worth telling?
  • Did they say anything you want to use?
  • What is their involvement with the chamber?
  • Which formats do you need?

What you get

  • A 200 to 300 word newsletter feature that opens with a specific detail
  • A social post for the channels you publish on
  • Two or three sentences for a bulletin, slide or luncheon mention
  • Quotes cleaned lightly and never invented
Sample output

Fair Haven, Georgia is a fictional town used for examples.

Newsletter feature, Mountain Treasures Antiques

Ask about the jar of skeleton keys by the register at Mountain Treasures Antiques, and Linda Pruitt will tell you kids get to pick one on their way out. She started the business in 2001 in a barn off Route 9 and still does all the refinishing herself in the back room.

Who it is for

Communications staff who feature members in newsletters and on social, for new members, anniversaries, expansions and awards.

Questions

What if I do not have a quote?

It writes the piece without one and suggests a question to ask the owner. It never makes up a quote.

Can it write only the social post?

Yes. Pick only the formats you need.
