Why use the Local First logo?

When West Michigan consumers see the Proud Member logo, they know they're supporting a locally owned business.

One of the most valuable benefits of Local First membership is the Local First brand itself. In fact, a survey of Kent County residents established 35% brand recognition for Local First. Aligning yourself with this brand makes your business stand out!

Use the Proud Member logo on:

• Newsletters
• Advertising
• Product Packaging
• Internal Printed Materials
• Business Cards
