BLT Values

Why would a local business offer you a deal?

Because you walking through the door matters.

BLT Values helps connect local businesses with people who are ready to actually shop, eat, book and buy locally.

You get a reason to try a local business — and a reason to come back.

The business gets a real customer.

And the whole thing helps keep more of our dollars circulating right here in our community.

Good for you. Good for local business. Good for local.

That’s the point of BLT Values.

“Where are the networking events for people over 40?”

We saw someone ask this recently and thought…

👋 Hi. Hello. We’re right here.

Actually, we’re here for business owners and professionals over 40, under 40, and everyone in between.

No age cutoff. No need to fit a particular demographic.

Just local people who want to make connections, build relationships, get their business seen, and maybe even enjoy networking for once. 😉

Here’s where BLT gets REALLY easy to understand.

$100 to spend at a local business.
You pay $75.

Yep. You save $25.

That’s BLT Bargains — discounted gift cards to participating local businesses, with a portion helping local organizations raise money.

You save.
A local business gets your business.
Your community benefits.

That’s a pretty good deal all the way around.

👉 Follow BLT Values. We’ll be showing you where to find the deals.

Before September officially clocks out…

Quick question:

Do enough people know what your business does?

Not just your friends.
Not just your current customers.
The people who could hire you, refer you, or introduce you.

October goal: get a little more visible.
Show up. Talk about what you do. Make the connection.

We’ll help with the room. 😉

YOU MADE IT HALFWAY. ACT ACCORDINGLY. 🍗🥃

Wednesday at the Silver means wings, wh***ey, and a perfectly reasonable excuse to not go straight home.

🍗 $13 Wing Basket
🥃 $5 Wh***ey Sours
🥃 $1 OFF Top Shelf Wh***eys
🎱 Free pool until 6 PM

Grab some food. Shoot some pool. Have a wh***ey sour. Complain about how it’s somehow only Wednesday. 😂

Half the week is officially handled.

See you at the Silver. 🍻

Shopping local is already a good thing.

Saving money while you do it? Even better.

That’s the idea behind BLT Values.

You get real savings at local businesses.
Local businesses get real customers.
Local organizations get another way to raise money.

Your money stays closer to home — and does a little more while it’s here.

Shop. Save. Give back.

Tuesday’s almost done. One question:

Who have you connected with this week?

A potential client? A fellow business owner? Someone you can refer?

Nobody yet? You’ve still got time. 😉

Business grows through relationships. Make one connection before Friday.

Who’s on your list? 👇

Sunday business-owner check-in:

What could your business use a little help with this week?

A referral? An introduction? Advice from someone who’s been there?

That’s the point of a strong Chamber community—you don’t have to build your business alone.

Drop what you need below. Someone here might be able to help. 👇

Okay… so what exactly IS BLT Values?

It’s pretty simple:

You shop at local businesses.
You save money.
Local organizations raise money.

That’s it.

BLT Values connects local businesses, local shoppers, and local organizations in a way that helps everybody win.

You get real savings.
Businesses get real customers.
More money stays right here in our community.

Good morning, local business owners. ☕️

Quick reminder: tomorrow morning, we’re getting in the room.

Come tell people what your business does. Meet someone you don’t already know. Make a specific ask. And leave with at least one person you need to follow up with.

That’s networking with a purpose.
