Smart Owl Coffee

I heard about Illinois local from an email that Gemma sent to our business. In it, she outlined her background, her goals, and her promise to work hard to elevate our business and give it more visibility.

We joined because we felt like the price was right, and as a brand new business we were in need of help with expansion. No one in our business has a background in marketing, and Gemma was very fast to respond and provide advice/input for us.

Connecting us with other local businesses and individuals with similar philosophies, Illinois Local has most certainly helped us to grow. They have gone above and beyond by providing networking opportunities, free professional photographs of our products, gifting our products to others in our community, and highlighting us in their social media posts and newsletters.

It’s been wonderful to have a bank of other businesses to reach out to and know that we have this connection through Illinois local.
