West Liberty Business of the Month
 We would like to congratulate Berry Digital Solutions for being selected as the West Liberty Business Association’s May 2024 Business of the Month. This business was created to help small businesses and local organizations with their online presence, assisting with everything from website development, social media services, online advertising, digital marketing, and content creation, including copywriting, videography, and photography. If you have a digital problem, they have a “digital solution!"
Berry Digital Solutions is co-owned by Ryan Berry and Chris Anders. Ryan Berry started Berry Digital Solutions in 2013 with one goal in mind: helping his community. Berry Digital Solutions began with a simple yard sign advertising "Local Computer Repair" in Ryan's front yard in rural West Liberty, Ohio. As Ryan began helping his community with their technology needs, he quickly realized there was a growing demand for small business digital marketing. Ryan shifted his focus and began assembling a team of experts. Ryan called upon his lifelong friend Chris to join his efforts, and the duo formed a partnership in 2015. The business partners moved into an office with the Champaign Economic Partnership on the square in downtown Urbana in 2017. Then, in 2021, Berry Digital Solutions moved down the street, renovating the former Main Graphics building, a location they now share with Dees Brew Coffee. The business has continued to expand, adding more digital experts to a team that now numbers 5 full-time and 3 part-time employees, plus a network of trustworthy, local independent contractors. Berry Digital Solutions offers a team of local experts to assist businesses and organizations as they navigate an increasingly complicated digital world. If your organization is interested in local advertising opportunities, web designers, social media experts, digital marketers, and content creators, give Berry Digital Solutions a call! Their clientele includes small businesses, churches, non-profit organizations, villages, counties, townships, and more. They have been the website and social media provider for the West Liberty Business Association and the village of West Liberty since 2015. If you have a local event that needs promoted, local news that needs shared, or a cause worth supporting, get in touch with the team at BDS today! Both owners, Ryan and Chris, consider themselves born and raised in West Liberty, Ohio. The duo are lifelong best friends who left town to earn college degrees and start their careers in the private sector, and both returned to West Liberty when it was time to begin raising their families because according to them, "There’s no better place in the world to raise a family than West Liberty, Ohio!" Ryan and Chris have both served the West Liberty Business Association as president and vice-president in the past. As their families continue to grow and get more involved in sports and activities, you’ll likely find both on a field or at the school, coaching, sponsoring and supporting youth sports and activities in the community. The team at BDS loves freeing up customers from online frustrations. Nowadays, many small business owners try to do everything. They know the feeling. Time can get short and it can be frustrating trying to keep up with everything a small business needs in today's digital world. It’s easier and better for your mental health to hire local experts to handle certain aspects of the business. The customers that appreciate them the most are the ones who enjoy more free time to focus on their business specialties, family and/or hobbies. They don’t want to work all day and then spend all night online trying to figure out how to generate more sales or how to curate the perfect social media post. There are so many local, trustworthy experts right here in our own backyards that can alleviate much of the stress and extra work load. Berry Digital Solutions can be found in their storefront located at 113 N. Main Street in downtown Urbana or by calling (937) 404-1050. The BDS team is flexible with hours and can handle just about any request, but typically, their offices are open during business hours, Monday-Friday. When not working, Ryan, Chris, and the entire team at BDS are busy with young families. If you don’t see them at the office, you’re likely to see them coaching or cheering on the kids on the athletic fields or at the schools. Ryan and Chris have also been known to sneak away for business meetings at nearby disc golf courses. They almost never miss a Labor Day Festival, Fourth of July fireworks show at Lions Club Park or Christmas in the Village in West Liberty. West Liberty’s charm and traditions have become intertwined with their family traditions. Again, congratulations to Berry Digital Solutions! Written and submitted by: Brenda Snyder, WLBA Secretary |
