The spirit of New Year, New Wins is still moving through the Greater Bay Area, and PacifikLive is proud to keep the momentum going through May 31. What began as a new year celebration has grown into a continued commitment to visibility, opportunity, and community connection for the small businesses that help our neighborhoods feel alive.
At PacifikLive, we believe local businesses deserve more than a quick mention. They deserve to be seen, heard, celebrated, and remembered. New Year, New Wins was created to give local, underrepresented, and Pacific Islander small businesses a hand up through free streaming highlights, social media visibility, website promotion, and community-centered storytelling. This campaign is about more than marketing. It is about shining a light on the entrepreneurs, families, creators, service providers, and dreamers who serve our communities with heart.
This year, we warmly welcome three featured businesses to the New Year, New Wins spotlight: VEC Indian Cuisine & Bazaar of Vallejo, Skylight Electrical Services of Fairfield, and Aliti’s Designs. Each one represents the energy, resilience, and creativity that make our region stronger. From food and culture to trusted local services and creative design, these businesses remind us that small business success is community success.
VEC Indian Cuisine & Bazaar brings flavor, hospitality, and cultural connection to Vallejo. Local restaurants and markets do more than provide meals and goods. They create gathering places where families connect, traditions are shared, and neighbors discover something meaningful together. By spotlighting VEC Indian Cuisine & Bazaar, PacifikLive celebrates the role that food, culture, and local ownership play in building a vibrant community.
Skylight Electrical Services of Fairfield represents the hardworking local service businesses that keep homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods moving. Skilled trades are essential to community life, and trusted local providers make a difference every day through professionalism, reliability, and care. New Year, New Wins is proud to recognize businesses like Skylight Electrical Services that help families and business owners feel supported where they live and work.
Aliti’s Designs adds another important part of the story: creativity. Design is often where ideas become visible. Whether through personal projects, business branding, custom work, or creative expression, design helps people communicate who they are and what they value. By highlighting Aliti’s Designs, PacifikLive celebrates the artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs who bring beauty, imagination, and identity into the community.
New Year, New Wins is designed to connect businesses with listeners in a way that feels natural, helpful, and community-driven. Participating businesses can receive radio mentions, website visibility, social media promotion, and opportunities to be featured through PacifikLive’s digital platforms. Listeners, in turn, get to discover local businesses they may not have known before and enter for a chance to win prizes, offers, or experiences connected to the campaign.
The promotion now runs through May 31, giving listeners more time to participate and giving featured businesses more time to be celebrated. If you have followed the campaign since the beginning, please note the updated date: New Year, New Wins continues through May 31. Any previous references to an April end date should be considered outdated.

For small businesses, this campaign is an invitation to be part of something bigger than a single giveaway. New Year, New Wins creates space for local brands to build awareness, connect with listeners, and show the community what makes them special. For listeners, it is a chance to support the businesses that support our families, neighborhoods, and local economy.
PacifikLive remains committed to uplifting underrepresented voices and creating platforms where community stories can travel farther. We know that visibility matters. A radio mention, a social post, a website feature, or a shared story can help someone discover a business, recommend it to a friend, visit for the first time, or remember it when they need a service.
When small businesses shine, communities shine with them. When underrepresented entrepreneurs receive more visibility, the whole region grows stronger. When Pacific Islander businesses and local businesses of every background are celebrated, we help build a more connected and more inclusive Bay Area.
New Year, New Wins continues through May 31. PacifikLive invites listeners, business owners, families, and community supporters to join us in celebrating VEC Indian Cuisine & Bazaar, Skylight Electrical Services, Aliti’s Designs, and the many local businesses that make our communities brighter.
When our small businesses shine, America shines with them.
