Okay, Winter is behind us and we all survived - and LocalStash is ready to help increase your reach, visibility and bottom-line.

We have 3 Sponsors slots open.

Below is some quick info on what we do.

We also have opportunities for locally owned businesses to get a Map Pin on LocalStash.com (no cost) and benefit from our Shop Local Program.

And we've developed some really cool tech that we'll be rolling out for our Sponsors to assist with their Social Media and Content production and promotion.

Its gonna be a really good Summer.

Here's a link to our previous issue so you see what we're doing for our regional business owners.

I'm about 75% of the way to building my Agentic Team (using OpenClaw).

So far these are the Agents that now work for LocalStash:
- System Administrator
- General Manager
- Research Agent
- Content Agent
- Design Agent
- Social Media & Engagement
- Implementation (not live yet)

This is my Command Center where I can assign work, check progress and really grow this idea of mine into something much bigger than I could do by myself.

From this I'll be creating clones that I can share with others:
- Think Complete Digital Marketing Agency
- Think Complete Local Publication Firm (local magazine, newspaper or newsletter)
and more...

Okay, now on to Phase III... (Edit at bottom of post)

Just recreated the Newsletter (roadtrips.localstash.com) and built a new website to host the articles and newsletters we produce.

I'd LOVE it if you would be one of my "Charter Subscribers" and help me get this tuned in.

The first objective is to promote Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico (and then another 700 cool rural resort towns across the USA).

LocalStash is ALL about promoting local businesses, activities, events and things to do in Rural America BY sharing how incredible these communities are - the Newsletter will be more a "Road Trip Travel" Guide.

We will be working closely with Chambers, Tourism Boards, Visitor Centers (and any others) who really know where the "Stashes" are in their community.

Thanks for the Subscribe (of course you can unsubscribe at any time) and if you know RVers or Road Trippers - Please Share.

You can Subscribe here > https://roadtrips.localstash.com/

EDIT: I forgot to mention that if you do Subscribe and Complete the Survey you will be entered into our Quarterly $500 "Road Trip" Drawing (it will be a $500 Visa card) and hope you use it to unplug and regenerate. Share with your traveling buddies to increase your/their odds.
