As we turn the corner to 2022, we have been reflecting on what a year it’s been. We’ve had countless hours of conversations with cities and counties across the country learning about their unique and shared challenges in the economic development space. We’ve witnessed incredible initiatives and were constantly in awe of the passion for helping local businesses succeed and thrive, especially in such a uniquely uncertain environment.
We are so grateful for the cities and counties that have trusted Bludot for their Business Development and Retention efforts and are energized for the future of helping teams use their engagement data to continue to improve for their communities.
With the help of so many of our great users, we have accomplished so much together in 2021:

The average size of our communities are 40,000 residents and almost 1,500 businesses.
