Brand Local Communications & Card My Yard Savannah North

Where can you find two women, skilled in their craft and striving for excellence, who are also best friends? Business partners Savannah Smith and Jessica Mills of Brand Local Communications and Card My Yard North Savannah are two such women. Both raised in Effingham and graduates from Georgia Southern University, Jessica and Savannah’s friendship runs deep. They are proud to share their passions by building businesses together.

Brand Local specializes in grassroots marketing, helping their clients get out in front of customers and their communities. While some marketing agencies “set it and forget it,” the team at Brand Local is different. They drill down to understand the brand of the company in order to create a voice, specific to their client. They give small businesses a competitive advantage by creating a brand identity specific to the company.

In addition to brand identity, Savannah and Jessica utilize digital marketing to help their clients achieve their goals. “Many times business owners don’t realize how much interest social media can generate. When we help a business put focus on their social media and digital marketing, we work with them to strategically target their potential customers,” says Savannah. “These digital marketing initiatives drive a tremendous amount of business for our clients.”

Brand Local Communications works with a wide variety of clients including physicians, law firms, political candidates, small business owners and especially heavy equipment industries. They are happy to meet with any business to develop a strategy that is right for them.

Savannah Smith and Jessica Mills don’t stop at serving clients with online communications. Card My Yard combines the convenience of a fully online e-commerce site that delivers customized yard signs in Effingham, Savannah, and Statesboro. The colorful signs are personalized to the recipient and put in place, often in the front yard of the recipient’s home or business. The signs can be set up for 24 hours or longer giving special recognition to the recipient. Their favorite delivery is one set up in the evening, so the recipient has a lovely surprise in the morning. They also do drive by celebrations of all sorts, from birthdays and graduations to showers and welcome home babies.

“We work closely with our customers to make each greeting special, by using favorite colors or custom graphics,” says Jessica. “And our e-commerce website means friends and family can order from anywhere in the country day or night, without ever having to pick up the phone.”

Business is booming at Card My Yard and Jessica and Savannah are honored to be part of the life celebrations of the people in these communities. “We love being able to spread joy everyday! We’ve been fortunate to meet some amazing people through this business and hope to be a part of their lives for many years to come,” she adds.

Being best friends gives this duo the ability to combine family and business. Being business owners gives them flexibility to have time with their children while remaining committed to serving their clients. Their strong faith in God gives the confidence that they are on the right path. They love what they do, and it shows.
