Why Supporting Local Businesses Makes a Big Difference (and How We’re Pitching In)

Local businesses are the heartbeat of our communities.

The coffee shop owner who knows your order by heart. The boutique that always has the perfect last-minute gift. The realtor who helps you find a home and tells you the best taco spot in the neighborhood. These are the people who make New Orleans and Houston feel like home.

When you support a local business, you’re doing more than just buying a product or booking a service. You’re helping to:

  • Create jobs right here in our community

  • Keep money circulating locally

  • Foster a culture you can’t find anywhere else

  • Build connections that make our cities stronger

Why This Matters to Us

As a small business ourselves, we know how much hustle, heart, and late nights go into making something work. We’ve met so many entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals who pour everything into what they do.

That’s why this fall, we’re doing something special to give back.

The Local Business Spotlight Series

This September, we’ll be selecting 6 local business owners — 3 in New Orleans and 3 in Houston — to receive:

  • A free branding session with Davillier

  • 1–2 professional images

  • A feature on our blog + Instagram

It’s our way of saying thank you to the businesses who make both cities vibrant, and to help them get the content they deserve.

Final Thought:
Supporting local businesses doesn’t always mean spending money. You can share their posts, leave a review, tag them in a recommendation, or simply tell a friend. This month, we’re doing our part to shine a light on a few of the businesses that make our cities thrive — and we’d love for you to join us.
