Oftentimes, it can be difficult to decide what to do with your time in cities that you visit. Sometimes the options are overwhelming, and other times the city you visit is full of hidden gems—that is, there could be a ton to do, but it’s not exactly easy to figure it all out. Sure, a Google search may be able to set you on the right track, but the Internet can be biased and full of inaccurate information, as well as favoring the big businesses instead of allowing small businesses in smaller cities to get their time in the spotlight. So how will you ever know what to do in the places you visit—particularly, smaller ones such as Ocala?
That’s where The Scout Guide comes in. If you’re looking for reliable, elevated advertising experiences within a small business in Ocala, or many other cities across the nation, The Scout Guide has your back. This 100% woman-founded franchise is a favorite of MAVEN Photo + Film, and we have had the unique privilege of working with them for the second volume of the Ocala Scout Guide. We’re a huge proponent of small local businesses—being one ourselves, of course—and we are more than thrilled to be able to offer our advertising and promotion services for such a good initiative.
We’ve been able to work to promote smaller, lesser-known organizations and businesses throughout the Ocala area, such as the Historic Ocala Preservation Society (HOPS), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the beautiful history of Ocala’s architecture. The Scout Guide also works to promote the Appleton, our very own art museum which hosts over 24,000 objects in its permanent collection, with a vision of enriching the city through exposure to cultural and educational experiences. Through this, the Scout Guide allows for attention to be brought not only toward underappreciated businesses, but also toward the parts of communities that are making a difference and doing important, preservational work.
Having the opportunity to work with The Scout Guide and use our expertise in the product photography and videography industry toward the good of our city has been an incredibly rewarding experience. We’ve been introduced to many locations throughout the city, as well as being able to conduct photography work for over 50 local businesses that we know and love, such as Odette Boutique and Remington’s Prime Steakhouse. We have been able to assist in the effort of promoting our beautiful home, and we couldn’t ask for anything more.
We have a strong, ongoing relationship with The Scout Guide, and it is a great honor to work with them to fulfill their mission. At MAVEN Photo + Film, we pride ourselves on our ability to work with local businesses in a caring and attentive fashion, as well as doing anything that we can to get the ‘perfect shot’ for you. If you’d like the same care that we give to The Scout Guide for your own advertising content, be sure to contact us!
