Wordof Mouth recommendations are the backbone to any business. We, as local business owners, are constantly striving for superior customer experiences, hoping those customers will refer our business to friends and family. There is no better advertising for your business than to be personally recommended by a happy customer.

Locals Love Us delivers this recommendation for Shreveport-Bossier at a community level. When voters submit their ballots for the area’s best businesses, they are providing word of mouth referrals to the entire community. Therefore, I have always LOVED what we do, promoting local businesses to local people, from local people’s positive experiences.

We will continue to have a deep passion in 2023 and beyond to promote our local businesses to ensure the success of our community and home. Thanks for all your support, Shreveport-Bossier!

Thank you!

Ijoined Locals Love Us to give them a social media outlet!

Beau and Gary entrusted me with a few accounts and I ended up loving the opportunity to meet local business owners and see their places of business more than running the Social Media aspect of LLU!

I am a military wife and mother of five so with the freedom LLU affords me I am able to work around my family’s schedule and needs. I love sharing these great local businesses with word of mouth advertising!

Thank you! Bethany Fouts

2022/23 AWARD WINNER

Iam so excited and honored to be a part of the Locals Love Us team! I am a proud military spouse and since this is our third time being stationed here, Shreveport-Bossier feels like home to us. I love being able to feel even more connected now that I’ve joined Locals Love Us.

I have been so impressed by the integrity of the process in locals choosing who they love.

My favorite part of the job is not only getting to meet awesome people, but seeing pure joy in their faces when I get to tell them how loved they are in their community!!

Thank you, Shreveport-Bossier, for giving my family a place to call home. I can’t wait to bring even more awards to deserving businesses this year!

Thank you!
