THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER CUSTOMER IN ANY CITY
New homebuyers are shopping for the businesses they'll use for years.
They have the resources to buy and they're in the habit of spending. And right now, they haven't picked a dentist, a pizza place, a pool service, or a hair stylist. Whoever reaches them first has the best shot at keeping them.

90 days
THE WINDOW THAT MATTERS
The first 90 days after a move are the most valuable window in marketing. New residents are building new routines and loyalties from scratch. Show up in that window and you aren't just making a sale. You're becoming a habit.

WE DO THE LEGWORK. YOU GET THE CUSTOMERS.
From your offer to their front door.
You don't need to design anything, print anything, or knock on a single door. Here's what happens every month.
We build an offer they can't refuse
We help you create a generous, exclusive offer, like a free item or a free service, that new homebuyers can't get anywhere else. Not a '10% off' coupon that gets ignored.
We create your coupons and your welcome video
Your offer is professionally designed and printed for you. We also help you script your welcome video, then professionally edit it so you look and sound your best.
We package it with your gift
Your coupon is paired with your business swag: a free branded gift for the homeowner that keeps your name in their home.
We bundle and hand-deliver the gift box
Your gift joins gifts from other local businesses in an attractive gift box, hand-delivered to new homebuyers. No junk mail, no algorithm, no expensive ads. Just a unique gift box that makes your business stand out.
You get the follow-up list
At the end of each month, we send you the addresses of every home we visited, so you can follow up however works best for your business.
Built to bring them in, then bring them back.
Every coupon set includes at least two offers. The first gets them through the door. The second turns a first visit into a repeat visit, and a repeat visit into a regular customer.
OFFER 1 - GET THEM IN
FREE first visit
e.g. a free pizza, a free adjustment, a free first mow
OFFER 2 - BRING THEM BACK
Come back bonus
e.g. a second-visit special that builds the habit

A GIFT, NOT AN AD
People throw away junk mail. They keep a gift.
Your business arrives as a welcome from a neighbor, not as one more piece of advertising.
What's inside every box
- A gift from YOUR business
- YOUR exclusive offers
- A professionally edited welcome video from you
- A recommendation from a local
- A welcome video explaining everything
- City and community resources

YOUR NEIGHBORS, AND YOUR MARKETING PARTNERS
Meet Todd & Leah Getts
Locals first. Marketers second.
We moved to Cape Coral in 2011, and we've called it home ever since. This is where we live, play, raise our children, shop, and eat, so we care about the businesses that make this city great.
Since 2016, we've run Digital Trailblazer, an online marketing and business coaching company. We're award-winning marketers and recognized experts in online marketing, and we host the Digital Trailblazer Podcast, one of the top marketing podcasts in the world.
Our awards include the Beyond a Million Award, the Legendary Marketer Award, and the Honey Badger Award for Marketing.
Some of our specialties include online lead generation, paid ads, SEO, AEO, AIO, GEO, branding, copywriting, funnels, content creation, web design, and podcasting.

When everyone else is zigging, we zag.
Right now, every local business is fighting for attention in the same crowded places: online ads, search results, coupons, and mailers. You don't want to ignore those. But if you want to get ahead, you also need to do something better.
That's why we started Locals Recommend. The best way to win is to stand out and do what nobody else is doing.
GETTING STARTED IS SIMPLE
1. Book a quick call
We'll confirm whether your category is still open in Cape Coral.
2. Build your plan
We'll design your offer, choose your gift, and pick your term and reach.
3. Meet your new neighbors
Your business goes out in the next month's gift boxes.
Is your category still open?
We only accept ONE business per category. Once a category is claimed, that business keeps it for its entire term, and every new homebuyer meets them instead of you.
