Show Your Local Pride and Connect With Your Community

As a valued member of Dane Buy Local, you’re part of a vibrant network of businesses committed to strengthening our local economy and building a more resilient community. Now it’s time to let your customers know! Our Dane Buy Local Proud Member logos are designed to help you showcase your commitment to local commerce and connect with the growing community of conscious consumers who actively seek out locally-owned businesses.

Why Display Your Membership?

When you display the Dane Buy Local logo on your website, in your email signature, or in your marketing materials, you’re doing more than just adding a badge—you’re making a statement. You’re telling customers that you’re invested in this community, that you believe in the power of local commerce, and that you’re part of a collective effort to keep Dane County thriving.

Studies consistently show that consumers increasingly prefer to support businesses that share their values and contribute to their local communities. By prominently displaying your Dane Buy Local membership, you’re tapping into this preference and building trust with customers who want to make a difference with their purchasing decisions. You’re also connecting yourself with hundreds of other local businesses who share your commitment, creating a network effect that benefits everyone.

How to Use Your Logos

We’ve created multiple versions of our Proud Member logo to ensure you have the perfect option for any application. Whether you need a horizontal format for your website header, a square version for social media, or a specific color scheme to match your brand, we’ve got you covered.

Getting Started is Easy:

Simply right-click on the logo version that works best for your needs and save it to your computer. We recommend downloading multiple versions so you have options for different uses. Once you’ve saved your preferred logo, share it with your website manager or marketing team and ask them to add it to your business website—preferably with a clickable link to DaneBuyLocal.com. This not only shows your membership but also helps drive traffic to our directory, where customers can discover other local businesses to support.

Where to Display Your Logo:

The possibilities are endless, but here are some of the most effective places to showcase your Dane Buy Local membership:

• Your Website: Add the logo to your homepage footer, about page, or create a dedicated “Local Commitment” section
• Email Signatures: Include the logo in your professional email signature to reach every person you communicate with
• Social Media Profiles: Use our square logo as part of your profile images or cover photos on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn
• Marketing Materials: Feature the logo on brochures, flyers, postcards, and print advertisements
• Invoices and Receipts: Remind customers of your local commitment with every transaction
• Storefront Signage: If you have a physical location, display the logo in your window or at your register
• Newsletters and Blogs: Include the logo in your email marketing and content to reinforce your local values

Making the Link Work

When you add your Dane Buy Local logo to your website or digital materials, always link it to DaneBuyLocal.com. This serves multiple purposes: it allows curious customers to learn more about the buy local movement, helps them discover other member businesses they might want to support, and demonstrates that you’re actively engaged in promoting the entire local business community, not just your own enterprise.
