| | Shop SoMi Segments reach out to be featured | | |
Welcome to our newest video series #ShopSoMi, hosted by our SoMi District Ambassador, Evelyn Valdes.
But what makes #ShopSoMi different from our SoMi Spotlight series?
While SoMi Spotlight gives you an inside look at the business owners themselves — the people behind the scenes who bring these places to life — #ShopSoMi flips the script. It’s all about the customer experience, through the eyes of a local — walking in, trying out the products, and sharing what makes your business shine. Think of it as a fun, influencer-style feature that brings your storefront to life from the outside in.
We’re proud to support our amazing #SoMiBusinesses 🤝 Have a business that wants to be featured? Tag us using #ShopSoMi or reach out to us at CommunityAffairs@southmiamifl.gov 🎉
Stay tuned — Evelyn may be stopping into your store next!
