The Local First team has been dreaming and scheming of the day we could build a more robust and modern localfirst.com to champion our local business members across West Michigan. After lots of hard work and feedback, it’s finally here!
Consumers and businesses alike can now use the Local First online directory to search for values-aligned companies and organizations in their communities. And member businesses can provide even more offerings to people across West Michigan. With this resource, you can search for local businesses by ownership demographic, neighborhood, industry, and keyword. Local business members can provide current events, discounts, and more. The NEW localfirst.com is a one-stop resource to see who’s open, what they’re offering, and how you can get it.*
In September, our team walked through the new website’s features – both how to search for new local businesses and how member businesses could input their latest offerings. Watch the Walk-Through!
