Smart Localism is Smart Business

Smart business is to develop ‘Villagers’ and their Village around what you do best. That is also what we do best for you.

Your grassroots strategy
  1. When you win the Villagers, you win a tribe of passionate advocates and true believers.
  2. Find a way to support the Village (r) sweet spots, there is always a way for business to align and stir the Villager’s passions and engagement.
  3. The business Membership is a Village within a Village, it creates Visibility and Voice for your business both within the Village and beyond.
It is a great tagline, but it is absolutely real
