A New Decade for The Naples Insider

We’re total suckers for the fresh start of a new year but a new decade?! We typically don’t set resolutions but instead, dream and goal what we want to keep, edit, and toss from the past year or so. So what’s in store for The Naples Insider this year?

More Small Business Collaborations

We’ve all seen the Shop Local signs but often forget about them as we head to a big box store (or Amazon) for what’s on our list. We have admittedly been guilty of this but after putting a focus on it over the holidays, we (and the gift recipients) fell in love with the uniqueness of the gift and the financial support it provided a local business owner.

For The Naples Insider, collaborations are far more than highlighting a business owner and their goods in a single Instagram or blog post. Instead, it is about weaving their story into the lifestyle of Naples that we have fallen in love with. It’s about consistently and creatively reminding us all that they exist and why they are worth the support.

So to begin this goal, please recommend your favorite small business or your own if you’re the owner!

More Behind the Scenes

While we love using this platform to promote the city of Naples and all those who make it the paradise that it is, we’ve received a lot of messages and emails asking about us. While we find our personal lives less than interesting, we have goal’d ourselves to be more transparent with you! Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that we will be showing you what we’re eating for lunch every day but it will give a behind the scenes into what it looks like to be young professionals that transplanted to Naples from a big city (Chicago).

An Up to Date Event Calendar

If you didn’t know, a calendar was added to The Naples Insider’s homepage a couple months ago but to be honest, we have failed to keep it as up to date as we wanted. That being said, we are making it a priority in 2020 so that you do not miss out on a single event! Over the coming months, we will be reminding you of the calendar, where it’s located, etc. so that you can plan your week/weekend with all of the necessary details.

Don’t see an event on the calendar? Email us and we will add it! Just remember to include the time, date, location, and all other details (dress code, ticket price, etc.)!

As we begin this first month of the new year and the new decade, we want to thank you for being on this journey with us. Never did we imagine that something that started as a hobby to find out what to do in Naples for our own personal use would turn into The Naples Insider. We have loved every message and email received from all over the world asking for recommendations and honest opinions and we can’t wait for more!

We wish you a happy, healthy, wonderful new year!

Matt & Megan
