The North Idaho Business Journal Book of Lists is back, and it's going to be better than ever. Set for publication in December 2024, this resource is a benchmark of the region's diverse and thriving business community.

As you sit by the fire on a snowy, cold winter night, remembering the summer sun and planning your next adventures, grab the Book and be inspired. A quick look at the 2023 list offers any number of options: a cruise around the lake, playing golf, or renting a boat and heading out on the lake.

Not your speed? The Book has the answer: head out to one of the campgrounds listed or immerse yourself in the arts. Surround yourself with music, explore local history, find a farmers market and get what you need for a true farm-to-table experience in the comfort of your home.

What could be better?

That's easy — your business in the Book.

The Book is an invaluable tool for everyone — businesses and residents alike. It is more than a dry list of people and places. It is a tribute to the businesses whose names appear — the very definition of expertise, diverse in scope, but united in their dedication to both the region and its people. 

This publication offers unparalleled visibility among peers, clients and potential partners. Instead of diving down a rabbit hole of internet websites or scraps of paper tucked into the "junk drawer" with now-forgotten "must visit" businesses, the Book compiles the businesses into an easy-to-use, reliable, and trusted source of information.

The Book of Lists provides a direct connection between you and critical decision-makers across all sectors, enhancing your professional network. The comprehensive data and trends captured in the Book offer insights to make informed decisions. It is designed to be relevant year-round, providing insights into everything from economic data to where to go when you're looking for your next adventure. It highlights our community's successes, trends, and opportunities.

Last year's inaugural edition featured over 50 detailed lists spanning various sectors and industries. These lists offer quantitative data like company size and qualitative insights into what makes our North Idaho businesses exceptional.

The submission link is already live bit.ly/NIBJBookofLists and we invite you to submit your business information by Aug. 31, 2024. This is an open call to every regional business leader to participate and contribute to this new business resource.

Your participation gives your business invaluable exposure throughout North Idaho, capturing a comprehensive snapshot of our regional economic vibrancy.
