For exquisite customer floristry in Twin Falls, there’s no better option than Blush Floral.

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Chandra Carr is such a wonderful person. She listened to what I wanted and pulled together arrangements so lovely they brought a tear to my eye. She dealt with my last-minute ‘Wait! I changed my mind!’ with professionalism and kindness, and worked with me to meet and discuss options. I came in with seven completely different ideas of what I wanted, and she was able to get to the root of all of these and create bouquets and centerpieces that were EXACTLY what I wanted. If you are looking for an innovative and fresh florist who will customize to your wishes, this is the place! I can’t possibly thank her enough for everything.” – Ellie G.

Not Your Average Flower Shop

We wanted to learn all about Blush Floral and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Chandra.

The first question we had for Chandra was what is it that sets Blush Floral apart from their competition in Idaho. Here’s Chandra’s response:

“Every arrangement that we do is custom. We source our flowers locally. We don’t do any FTD or Teleflora, so you never get the same arrangement twice. We do flowers that are in season as opposed to your cookie-cutter grocery store flowers.”

Chandra went on to say:

“I put a lot of time and effort into every arrangement that leaves my store, and I would never send anything out that I wouldn’t want personally. It’s just kind of the motto that we go by.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Blush Floral and how they work to make the world a better place. Chandra told us that their mission is to source locally and said:

“We also grow our own flowers during the summer months. We’re all about slow flowers and the whole green flower movement.”

Building Success by Taking the Job Seriously

Chandra attributes Blush Floral’s strong online reputation to the fact that they take the job seriously and put a lot of detail into every arrangement, which results in good responses from their customers. Chandra told us that she never asks for reviews.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Blush Floral has gotten their name out there solely through word of mouth, which says something about the kind of service they offer.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation that Blush Floral has earned. When we asked Chandra what expert advice she had for them, she emphasized the importance of customer service and ensuring that the customer is happy.


Congratulations to the team at Blush Floral for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Chandra, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Blush Floral in Twin Falls. Visit their website today!

Idaho’s Top Rated Local® Martial Arts Award Winner: Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo is a 2019 award winner for martial arts centers in Idaho!

If you’re looking for a martial arts center that will help you feel empowered, disciplined and respected, look no further than Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo in Meridian.

Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo has received dozens of reviews with a perfect average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them a wonderful Rating Score™ of 96.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five martial arts centers in all of Idaho!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“Our family has been a part of this dojo for over three years. My children love their Sensei. He is patient with the children and will take the time to show proper technique, not only during the class but also after class if a child asks for help. He is very knowledgeable about the origins of Bujinkan and shares his knowledge with both the adult class and the children’s class. It also helps to know that he goes to Japan to train with the Grand Master. I highly recommend this dojo!” – Cheri T.

Not Your Average Martial Arts Center

We wanted to learn all about Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Muir Sensei.

The first question we had for Muir Sensei was what is it that sets Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo apart from their competition in Idaho. Here’s Muir Sensei’s response:

“The martial arts that I teach has a deep history that goes back 1,000 years. We have a Grand Master that is over the whole martial arts system, whom I regularly travel to Japan to train with. That’s something that very few dojos offer.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Muir Sensei had to say:

“Essentially, the vision for the dojo is to teach Japanese military arts, along with enlightenment philosophies that originated in the 12th century, in modern-day Idaho.”

Building Success by Focusing on the Students

Muir Sensei attributes Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo’s strong online reputation to his commitment to always focusing on the students:

“As a Sensei, I focus on what I can do for my students versus what they can do for the dojo or for me. My focus is on making the training focussed towards my students so they are learning and improving, and in turn, I grow also. I think that translates to students who feel respected and that their time is well-spent training with me.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo has gotten their name out there through word of mouth and a Google ad. They also have an incentive program to help them get referrals, where they offer half-off one month’s tuition to students who make referrals.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo has. Here’s Muir Sensei’s expert advice for them:

“Focus on what students are looking for, and try to meet those needs as best as possible. But also take the time to understand the expectations of new students, and if your core model doesn’t reach their expectations, then have somewhere you can recommend them to try out instead. For example, if they really want to compete in the MMA, a traditional Japanese martial arts dojo may not be what they are looking for.”


Congratulations to the team at Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Muir Sensei, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Bujinkan: Living-Warrior Dojo in Meridian. Visit their website today!

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Same Day Electric and how they give back and make the world a better place. Here’s Jason’s response:

“We are not a franchise. We’re locally owned and operated. We’re trying to recruit locally and provide added value for people here in Boise, Idaho. We’re trying to provide opportunities for them, so they can make a great living. It starts with putting our employees first.”

Jason went on to tell us that they give back to their community by making charitable contributions annually, by doing community service and by adding to their clients’ lives. This year, they’re planning to do Secret Santa in their community.

If you’re looking for representation from Boise’s best criminal defense lawyer, look no further than Jacques Law Firm.

Jacques Law Firm has received dozens of reviews with an average rating of 4.92 stars, earning them a fantastic Rating Score™ of 95.22 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five attorneys and law firms in all of Idaho!

Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“[This is a] great firm! They explained everything thoroughly and were patient, understanding and well-informed. They went above and beyond in helping me, not only with being prepared but with getting me through the emotional roller coaster. I recommend them highly.” – B.H.

Not Your Average Law Firm

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Michael Jacques, the owner of Jacques Law Firm.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Michael about what it is that makes Jacques Law Firm unique compared to the many other law firms in Idaho. Michael told us that, in addition to sincerely caring for his clients’ interests, he has forged his career in the arena of the courtroom, having worked as a prosecuting attorney for two and a half years and in defense work for more than 11 years. The courtroom familiarity equips him with the skill of fighting for his clients’ rights and negotiating for their best resolution, regardless of the legal arena. As an attorney, he can never make a guarantee other than he guarantees that he likes to win!

We also asked Michael about the Jacques Law Firm mission and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s Michael’s response:

“The criminal defense work Jacques Law does regularly involves fighting for our constitutional rights and protecting our citizens from overzealous government agents. Bankruptcy allows Jacques Law to offer people a fresh start financially and, in so doing, redirects their spending back into U.S. goods and services, inspiring economic growth and strength to our economy. Personal injury clients experience the freedom to pursue necessary medical treatment without the shackle of burdensome medical bills while generally experiencing some financial relief for the suffering they have endured. Estate planning allows us to work through tough financial planning issues while conferring the peace of mind that clients have created a well-thought-through and deliberate plan for the estate that they have worked so hard during their lives to amass and to benefit their families.”

Building Success Through Hard Work

Michael credits Jacques Law Firm’s strong online reputation to their commitment to working hard for their clients and told us that the results reflect their work ethic. He added:

“Our work ethic comes from our genuine concern for the people for whom I have the privilege of working. We want to see the best result for our clients, and over the years, it has resulted in many satisfied clients.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Jacques Law Firm has grown through word of mouth and by advertising in other areas. They also provide face-to-face consultations and believe that you should feel comfortable with the attorney you decide to work with.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Michael’s expert advice for them:

“Genuinely care for those you are privileged to serve. Work hard, and maintain your integrity.”


Congratulations to Jacques Law Firm for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Michael, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Jacques Law Firm in Caldwell. Visit their website today!

We were excited to learn all about Boulevard Storage and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the manager, Merrell.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Boulevard Storage stand apart from its competitors. Merrell said that they do their best to provide a great service at a reasonable price. He said that they give people what they need and want. He said that they are upfront about the fact that they do not offer 24-hour access. He said that he and his wife live right on-site and watch over the property day and night.

Merrell told us about their mission statement, saying:

“Our mission statement is providing a safe and secure environment and a friendly environment to store your extra things until you find a place that will accommodate all of your goods.”

Building Success By Treating Their Customers Right

Boulevard Storage has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Merrell how they have managed to grow their business and get such great reviews. He said:

“It’s customer service and being a people person. My wife and I love people. We’ve been in the people industry for many, many years. We truly enjoy having the people come in and chat with us whenever they want to. They’re always met with a smile.”

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Boulevard Storage has spread the word about who they are and what they do through word of mouth and by treating their customers right.

He stressed the importance of providing outstanding customer service and caring about the work you do and the people you are doing it for. He said:

Not Your Average Pet Grooming Facility

We were excited to learn all about Posh Paws Pet Spa and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the manager, Sara Binkley.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Posh Paws Pet Spa stand apart from its competitors. Sara told us about her highly skilled and fun staff, saying:

“We’re really nice… we all get along, there’s a really good kinship here, and we’re very family-oriented. We like knowing what’s coming up next, who our customers are, when they go on vacation or have graduations, and things like that. It’s a personal experience because it’s a personal service.”

Sara went on to tell us about their commitment to their customers, saying:

“We’re probably one of the only grooming places in this area right now that has a private pick-up and drop-off service for the elderly or disabled. There’s a lot of grooming parlors that do mobile grooming, and even though we don’t [do] mobile grooming, we have a taxi service between our clients. It’s a personal thing that we have going on. We don’t want to put somebody in a car that can’t drive the best. If they don’t have someone to help them out, we like to be the ones to help them out. It’s a very, very large industry, and I think our overall performance, our presence, and who we are as people definitely make us different than a lot of groomers.”

Building Success And Giving Back

Posh Paws Pet Spa has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Sara how they have managed to grow their business and get such great online reviews. She said:

“First and foremost, all of our employees here are very, very good at their customer service skills. I think that any time you have any kind of business, making a close connection and relationship with your clients is a big deal. These people’s animals are their children, and in a lot of cases, it means the world to them and they want the best. We strictly provide the best.”

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, Posh Paws Pet Spa has spread the word about who they are and what they do by finding ways to give back to the community.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Posh Paws Pet Spa has managed to. We asked if Sara could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Make sure you have a social media platform, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, things like that. Advertise yourself as an effective and respectful business… Really reach out and try to get to know people.”


Congratulations to Posh Paws Pet Spa for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Sara for taking the time to speak with us!

Idaho’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shops Award Winner: The Beardsmith

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that The Beardsmith is an award winner for barber shops in 2019.

If you are looking for a barber shop that will get you looking and feeling your best, look no further than this award-winning company!

“This place has amazing service and provides an awesome atmosphere. It is the only place in the area that offers a legit beardsmith service to go with your old school barber experience. Wendy and her crew are talented and trained to the highest standards of the beard and barber game. They offer great beard, mustache, and hair products, including their homemade products, which really stand up to the high-end companies. For an added bonus of customer service, they offer a free beer. If you want the best service and products to keep your beard epic and on-point, The Beardsmith is the only place to be.” – J.G.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that The Beardsmith is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We were excited to learn all about The Beardsmith and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Wendy Rose.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes The Beardsmith stand apart from its competitors. Wendy told us:

“What makes us different is that we do all the old school stuff that nobody wants to do. Everyone that comes to our shop, they get a hot towel and they get a straight razor. We use quality straight razor devices that are not just your chintzy cheap razors. We use top-of-the-line Feather razors and all of the shaving cream is hot-lather. It’s just the old-school stuff that nobody does anymore. We do all of that.”

Wendy went on to tell us about their mission statement and how they work to make every guest feel special. She said:

“Our mission statement is: ‘We provide a service for the regular guy, and we make him the king.’ He’s the king when he comes in. It’s all about the client, it’s all about our patrons.”

Building Success, Online And Off

The Beardsmith has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked Wendy how they have managed to grow their business and get such great reviews. Wendy told us that, by going above and beyond with their customer service, they end up standing out to their customers. She said:

“People leave us reviews because we offer more than just a haircut or a beard trim; we offer an experience, and our experience is very consistent. Every time someone comes and sees us, it’s more than what they think it’s going to be. It ends up being more than just a haircut or a beard trim. That experience resonates with people, and it all comes from our heart and soul. People love us, so they write about us.”

In addition to building the kind of online reputation that any small business would envy, The Beardsmith has spread the word about who they are and what they do mainly through word of mouth. Wendy also told us about how they give back to their community, saying:

“We align ourselves with men’s mental health, and we donate and work with veterans. We bring awareness to veteran suicide, and we have an open-door policy with people. If anyone, veteran or not, wants to come in because they feel alone or want to be around people, anyone and everyone is welcome to come into our shop and hang out like back in the day. People can come to the barber shop and tell jokes and just kind of hang out and sit with us. We have a real open-door policy for anyone that wants to come in, whether they have an appointment or not, just to come in and hang out and enjoy being with people.”

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as The Beardsmith has managed to. We asked if Wendy could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Do your own thing. Find your true passion, and [do] that. Embodying your true passion is the most important thing. If you’re trying to copy something to gain some sort of status, people see right through it… The minute you start copying things and make someone else’s dream your own, it doesn’t work. You have to stay authentic to your passion; that’s the only way to do it. Also, get your butt up and work every single day.”

Wendy concluded our chat with this touching message:

“I lost my partner, Jeff, the big bearded guy who helped me start this company. It’s been really hard to do this without him. We’re trying to carry on. Everyone has been very supportive, and it really touches my heart that people are still supporting us even though he has passed on.”

She told us that she is trying to keep it all going despite losing Jeff, and said that she is currently looking to hire barbers.


Congratulations to The Beardsmith for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Wendy for taking the time to speak with us!

If we can educate and make sure that our staff knows that we love and care about them, then in turn, they are happy and love to be at their job and take even better care of our residents. Our staff is such a huge part of being where we are today. It’s just huge.”
