It’s been a short time since I started being a local guide, but it’s something I do with pleasure and affection. I´ll try to explain one of the reasons.
Small businesses usually have low media reach, even in the neighborhood itself.
Although social media have innovated, a lot with regard to propaganda, research mechanisms usually do not organize places by region.
Having this in mind, this is one of the biggest reasons why I love adding them to the map, and making comments about them. See my list: Copacabana Like a Local
It’s a win-win relationship on all sides!
How?! Let´s see:
- the entrepreneur has his business disclosed;
- the user discovers a service or place, which already has an assessment made by someone else who already knows it;
- and last, but not least, the relationships and local economy are improved.
So let´s continue sharing and caring!
