WHO THIS is FOR

WHY THIS helps YOUR BUSINESS

Most Lincoln businesses don’t need a massive marketing department, they need consistent local visibility. People choose where to eat, shop, and support based on what they see frequently. When you aren’t showing up, someone else is.

Hiring an agency or content creator to film monthly spotlight content on your own would cost hundreds per visit alone. This membership gives you affordable, ongoing content + exposure, without paying full agency rates or managing marketing yourself.

You get recurring content filmed for your business, posted through a platform designed to drive local discovery, support Lincoln’s economy, and keep your business top of mind when residents are deciding where to go next.

This is the modern, community-driven way to market — and it’s built specifically for Lincoln.

VISIT LINCOLN CONTENT Guidelines

Visit Lincoln operates like a local digital magazine. We create editorial-style content that highlights Lincoln’s businesses, people, and places in a consistent brand voice and visual style. Membership guarantees visibility, not full creative control.

  • All content is filmed and edited in the Visit Lincoln style to maintain a cohesive experience across our platforms.
    This means:

    • Minimal setups, quick filming, natural lighting

    • Short-form social content (Reels-style videos & photo spotlights)

    • Storytelling focused on experience

  • We do not send videos for review or editing notes.

    Members may suggest topics or specials, but final creative direction, captions, and posting dates are determined by Visit Lincoln.

  • Each tier guarantees a set number of features monthly.
    However:

    • We choose the format (video, photo, round-up)

    • We choose the timing based on seasonal relevance and content strategy

    • Not all member promos will be featured every time

  • Visit Lincoln retains rights to all content created.

    Members may repost their features with credit.

  • Yes. Additional spotlight pieces may be requested as paid add-ons.

  • Only Premier Partners receive first consideration for:

    • Influencer integrations

    • Giveaways

    • Seasonal campaign spots

    Selection is not guaranteed, but this tier is reviewed first.

  • By becoming a member, you agree to these content guidelines and acknowledge that Visit Lincoln maintains editorial control for consistency, quality, and brand direction.
