Shoreview, Minn. – Deluxe, a Trusted Business Technology™ company, announced today the 10 small towns in the running to win Season 5 of the highly acclaimed Small Business Revolution series. Deluxe executives sifted through thousands of nominations from states across the country to reach the final 10.

On Oct. 8, Deluxe launched the fourth season of Small Business Revolution, featuring the community of Searcy, Arkansas. Searcy and six of its small businesses won a $500,000 makeover captured in an eight-part series airing on www.smallbusinessrevolution.org, Hulu, Prime Video and YouTube. Small Business Revolution highlights marketing and business expertise for small businesses in one small town. The series features marketing experts from Deluxe, led by Chief Brand & Content Officer, Amanda Brinkman, and co-host and renovation icon, Ty Pennington, as they provide business advice to selected entrepreneurs in the winning community.

“This year, we had so many incredible nominations from small towns across the country,” said Brinkman. “We are always amazed how many people reach out to tell us why their town and businesses should win, and it really speaks to the work we’re doing for small businesses at Deluxe.”
