Learn Local

Calling all Citrus Heights businesses — from home-based hummus makers, to yoga experts, to restaurants, to auto shops! The City is encouraging the community to #LoveLocal and #LearnLocal. We are collecting how-to videos and tutorials from our local businesses, to get the word out about your business and help build your rapport with our network.

We know that supporting Citrus Heights businesses is more important than ever, so while we make it easier for residents to shop local, we also want to promote local expertise with this extension of the Love Local campaign. 


Videos should be short, and explain something within your industry that our community would be interested in learning. They can be filmed on a smartphone, and should be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or a similar platform, for easy sharing! If you need help with your tutorials, or would like to talk to an expert about making a marketing campaign for your business, our Small Business Development Center (SBDC) partners are here to help! Please connect with Gina Lujan with the SBDC at Gina@HackerLab.org.

Businesses, we encourage you and your team to be creative! Some how-to video ideas include:

  • How to make a simple recipe, like guacamole
  • Why your car needs regular oil changes
  • Tips for those preparing to sell their home
  • Beginner yoga poses, or a quick morning routine
  • Tax-filing tips, or deductions people might not be aware of
  • Gardening tips
  • How to use mobile banking
  • Insurance and financial planning tips
  • How certain car parts work
  • Creative food pairings
  • Safe workouts someone can do at home
  • Skin care tips
  • Your favorite smoothie/coffee/drink from your shop, and what goes into it
  • Activities/recipes that parents can make with kids
  • Cooking tips, like best way to chop an onion without crying


Once you have your video uploaded to a platform like YouTube or Vimeo, or on a cloud based app like DropBox or Google Drive, send a link to your video to LoveLocal@CitrusHeights.net.
