In continuing efforts to widely support locally owned, and locally focused businesses and services of all sizes, Resident News Network is set to release their latest product, LISTY an online business directory.
RNN owner, Jason Baggett stated, “For too long, we as consumers have allowed our hard-earned dollars to escape our community, and foregoing our commitment to making small businesses, and services our first choice. It’s time we take a major stand and make local, our first priority. LISTY will play a valued role in not only focusing on local first, but also showcase all aspects of the businesses and the people behind them.”
In the Arkansas River Valley area “word of mouth” still holds great value. So does a handshake. Consumers can be tricked through fake ratings, alluring ads and endless gimmicks. The LISTY platform will closely monitor use to ensure proper reviews, and listing credentials for the safety of the consumer. In parallel to the consumer aspect, LISTY will assist businesses in promotional platforms with a wide, highly responsive reach.
Baggett added, “Within the social media community, recommendations play a vital role in finding businesses and services that are reputable, professional, and honest. This is the cornerstone to LISTY and will serve as the conduit to assist consumers in seeking which service is best for them.”
LISTY is set to be released within the Hey Greenwood! What’s Happening? Facebook group which currently boasts over 30k active members that is focused on a 30-mile radius from Greenwood, Arkansas which includes hourly participation from members who reside in bedroom communities surrounding Fort Smith, Arkansas and beyond.
