Rhode Island Classics
Short documentaries about the Rhode Island businesses that shaped their towns, old and new.
Three new videos post every day through Small Business Saturday, Nov. 28, 2026. They go on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and X.
Made by Project5pi with Life Catlin Insurance.
Two ways to be on a video
Every featured business gets its video whether or not it sponsors. Sponsoring never changes what a video says.
Full page
Everything in the end card, plus your own slide just before it.
- A 4-second full-screen slide: "This story is sponsored by ..."
- Big logo and slogan
- A highlighted special
- QR code and contact
Prices
All prices are per video. One payment covers one video. Buy as many as you like.
Local small business
Restaurants, shops and other small Rhode Island businesses.
Bigger business
Banks, credit unions and larger Rhode Island companies.
Long compilation videos
Six stories in one long video, on YouTube.
- Checkout asks for your business name and, if you like, the video or town you want.
- After you pay, we email you within one business day to design your card.
- Your card must be ready before the video posts. A posted video cannot be changed, so pick a video that has not posted yet.
- If we cannot place your card on an upcoming video, we refund you in full.
Pick your towns
A featured business can sponsor its own video. Anyone else can pick a town. We pair you with an upcoming video from that town, or the nearest one.
