Our We Love Local campaign is back for its fifth year in a row. However this year, we want to hear from YOU!

The idea for We Love Local was born during the COVID pandemic in 2020 when the world essentially shut down and local businesses saw a sharp drop in sales. While the restrictions of the pandemic are long gone, local businesses are still struggling with staffing issues and trying to keep prices reasonable. While we may not be able to help with the economics of running your business, we can let everyone know who you are, where you are, what you provide, and how they can work for you if you're in need of a helping hand with the return of our We Love Local campaign.

In years past, we have offered a free one-hour broadcast that will include two live commercials where we'll tell everyone listening whatever it is you want them to know. Whether that's the product or service you offer, how they can find you in person and online, and how they can work for you if you're looking to hire and they're looking for a job. However, this year we are changing things up a bit. We want you to tell us which businesses deserve to be highlighted this year LIVE on the Q Crew Morning Show!

We Love Local 2024

For the past four years, 99.5 WKDQ has been sharing our love for locally-owned businesses with our #WeLoveLocal Campaign. For our fifth year, we are taking it to the next level with Robert John & Associates by letting your voice be heard on local businesses in the Evansville area.

Begining on October 28th through November 3rd, we will be asking listeners to submit who their favorite locally-owned business is in the Evansville area. Then, we will select 10 businesses that have been nominated to come into the studio on the Q Crew Morning Show to talk about who they are and what they do! A different locally owned business will be highlighted each weekday, for 10 days. Whether it is a locally owned shop, restaurant, book store, barber shop, or any other kind of business, we want to hear from you on who you think deserves some love on air with the 2024 We Love Local Campaign.

Submit your favorite Evansville local business in the form below!
