Inbound is trickier than outbound.  Many carriers offer a list of BGP
communities which can be used to influence how they treat your
advertisements, either by manipulating local preference, prepending, or

but ask your upstreams to be sure.

Make small changes slowly.  Verify with external looking-glass sites to
ensure that you're getting the results you want.
