If you own a good business in Redmond, we should probably talk.
We help local businesses become familiar names around town through our twice-weekly newsletter, podcast, and local business directory.
Let's Jump on a Quick CallBest of Redmond is a twice-weekly local newsletter and podcast about what is happening around town: places to eat, things to do, local businesses, events, and the stuff people are talking about.
Jennifer and I started it because we think Redmond deserves a simple, useful place to find out what is going on. We also think good local businesses deserve a better way to get known around town.
The goal is simple. When somebody needs what you do, your business is already a name they recognize.
We had a really strong turnout. When I started asking people how they found us, the first person said he saw our event in the Best of Redmond newsletter and podcast.
We chose Best of Redmond because of the real relationship they have with local people. Their newsletter, podcast, and directory give us a direct way to reach Redmond businesses and families.
This is not really about coupons.
You could drive past the same plumber's billboard every morning and every night for a year and barely notice it.
Then one day a pipe bursts. You walk outside, see that billboard, and think, "Oh yeah. I need a plumber."
That is what we are doing here. We are helping people around Redmond see your name often enough that, when they need what you do, you are one of the first businesses that comes to mind.
If you have a good coupon or special offer, tell us about it and we will work it into the ad. But you do not need to discount your business just to make this work.
No contract. Quit whenever you want. Choose the level that fits: $97 or $177 a month — your first month is free either way.
Fall/Winter Partner Offer: these prices are good through December 31.
A good place to start. Once a week, we put your business in the newsletter and on the podcast, so people around Redmond start seeing your name and hearing what you do.
This is the one if you want us to really get behind you. Jennifer comes out to your place, we get the photos, make the video, and tell people what makes your business worth knowing about.
Honestly, for another $80 a month, it is kind of ridiculous how much more you get.
Maybe. We have something called Category Lock. There is only one spot per category, and it is first come, first served. Once somebody takes a category, it is theirs for as long as they keep partnering with us.
Category Lock applies to paid newsletter and podcast placement. It does not stop us from listing or editorially covering other local businesses. It's a separate add-on — not automatically included with either plan above.

This is not some giant media company where you buy an ad and disappear into a spreadsheet.
We write the newsletter. We host the podcast. We visit businesses. We take the pictures. We make the stories.
When you become a Redmond Favorite Partner, we are not just dropping your logo into a list somewhere. We are helping local people get to know your business.
But Jennifer and I built this because we think we can help good local businesses get more people in the door.
Hopefully, we did a decent job showing you why Best of Redmond might be a really good choice for your place.
Tell me all about your business and why you think our audience — your friends, neighbors, and current and future customers — will absolutely love you. Then we'll figure out which package you want to go with.
Plus, I'll even give you your first month free.
