Vision
We are a startup local news and networking blog, with a focus on stories about local small business owners. Our aim is to create an environment for small business owners, entrepreneurs and supporters of local commerce on the GC and in surrounding areas to connect with one another and keep up with relevant, local news. By publishing interviews with our local business owners, we aim to promote the value that they contribute to the community. By doing so, we envision this blog to bring about a healthy source of clientele through promotion and word-of-mouth.

Our Story
The Gold Coast is a Thriving, Young Community
With the continued growth of the online business realm, there is increased temptation and thus, a trend in consumer behaviour leaning towards the spending of Australian money in overseas markets. We want to highlight that quality and value can still be found here and entice our locals to keep their money circulating within our beautiful local community.
As the Gold Coast continues to grow and the population with it, we can respect that the businesses in our area play a large role in employment, services and supply which further increases the security and opportunity to those in the area and just passing through. Reserve Bank Australia states that Small and Medium businesses in Australia support up to 70% of our total employment. This includes the fact that our local businesses statistically have been responsible for hiring individuals from all walks of life, not necessarily the most qualified. The positives flowing from this are undeniable, starting with decreased unemployment and lowered crime rates. By building solidarity in our neighborhood the residents within it benefit tremendously, and in ways which we often don't keep in the front of our minds. |
A Positive Hub for Networking, Support and Communication
This website was borne from a Facebook Group of the same name, dedicated to building trust and comradery between the small businesses on the Gold Coast. The vision for this blog is to provide yet another avenue for small businesses to get the exposure they need to see sustained growth. It is here, that locals can find inspiration and opportunities for growth. We want to be a site for establishing connections that lead to problem solving and the sharing of beneficial knowledge to all parties.
The world of local business doesn't have to be a cold, cutthroat place, there is more than enough wisdom here to share around. Let's not think that collaborations belong in the arts industry alone, let's utilise one another's expertise, stock up with supplies sourced locally, utilise one another to expand our customer base. Let's look for ways to offer resources to one another, advertise together, cut costs, anything that would be considered win-win for both parties. Good business is building strong foundation, a circle of like-minded individuals.

Showcasing the Hidden Gems
Much of the advertising and media in wider marketing networks is aimed at driving the attention of our Australian audience away from our local, hidden gems and toward the big-money corporations that squeeze local business dry. Let's provide our locals with viable options to big business and compete with them. The innovation, industry and experience that local business can offer to our community is not to be overlooked. Our promise is to keep this platform exclusive to our wonderful small business innovators of the GC region and surrounds.
These people are our families, friends, neighbours and colleagues. A diverse community from all walks of life and at varying stages of success. What better way to see us all continue to thrive, than to give a pedestal for you to promote what makes business on the GC unique and of amazing quality. Keep an eye on this space for interviews with local business owners and positive reflections on what people are doing here that makes this side of Oz so progressive!
