LoveLocalBRKs is an insider’s look at what Berkshire locals love right in the palm of your hand, updated daily! You’ll have all the latest info you need!
Open up the app, and pick what you’re looking for from food to shopping to swimming to playgrounds in the Berkshires. LoveLocalBRKs can find you something locals love right around the corner.
Go to enough of the locals WE love on the app and YOU might win some Perks from the BRKs to take home by “checking in” at enough of our local treasures!
Explore the area with one of our treasure hunts! Think, GEOCACHING, but with the potential for prizes for those who can complete the puzzles and find all the spots on the map!
We’ve made a game out of getting out – so go discover something new and possibly take home something special from The BRKs. Just hit the LOCAL HUNTS button to see what we’ve got going on and join in the fun!
Want to join this community of local Berkshire businesses looking for a proactive approach to marketing?
We finally caught up with our winner of last week's @eforallberkshirecounty @downtownpittsfield local business treasure hunt! @babirann took home the $250 gift card - congrats! 🎉 Thank you @dottielatte for always being the best place to meet up! ❤️🧁☕️ We'll be doing more hunts soon, but with @lovelocalbrks everyday can be a treasure hunt when you visit the businesses on our app! Download it today!
Also, we're just a few weeks away from more market fun! July 9th will a busy day for a bunch of our makers, curators and creators. We'll be out at Second Saturday with @pittsfieldfarmersmarket for our "Farm + Flea..." day AND we'll be adding a little extra to all the fun @berkshirebusk is bringing to GB this summer with a Night Market on Railroad Street! Save the date, come on down and enjoy all the community action!!!
Thanks to our sponsors for making our Small Business Summer so BIG! #lovelocalbrks #supportsmallbusiness #shoplocal #intheberkshires #visittheberkshires
We know the last thing the Berkshires needs is another guide, but we're hoping our spin on the genre @lovelocalbrks will break the mold a bit! It's a guide, it's a game, it's a way for people to learn what locals love and possibly win prizes! And it’s an ever evolving work in progress - let us know what you think!
But starting today, if use the app and “check in" at one of the 150+ Berkshire businesses we've been lucky enough to add to our network, you could possibly win some Perks from TheBRKs at the end of each month!
And we’ll be doing special targeted hunts and quests from time to time, but shopping local everyday can be a chance to win prizes!
We're hoping by adding incentives, games, puzzles and hunts to the usually passive world of guides we will increase engagement at the local businesses we call local treasures all over The BRKs 🤞
So as friends, family and everyone else descends upon our beautiful Berkshires this season - give them @lovelocalbrks and help encourage them to find the hidden gems right around the corner...or use it yourself and possibly win some prizes of your own🤞
Thank you to all our sponsors, partners and collaborators this Small Business Summer - especially @pittsfieldcoopbank
@synagex_modernit for sponsoring a bunch of the businesses on the app! And extra love for @geminicreativellc for building us a kick butt website where you can download the app ❤️
Have a great Small Business Summer! #lovelocalbrks #supportsmallbusiness #intheberkshires #visittheberkshires #visitma #lovelocal
