Local Content is KING!
Google Places, Foursquare, Groupon, and Craigslist all point to a fact that cannot be ignored!
Local Niche Marketing is Exploding!
And, if local marketing is exploding, then your local content must be better, deeply authentic, and more compelling than ever before!
No story of success is a better example of this than GROUPON! Andrew Mason's first venture into business didn't make the mark, but when he turned The Point into GROUPON highlighting local deals, local happenings, and local events with money-savings coupons attached, the local business model exploded and GROUPON blew into entrepreneurial heaven!
This is the time to utilize local press releases that recognized local products, new local services, and local business news. Highlight a new employee, stress how a local service can benefit local economies, and emphasize locally developed products that are changing the face of the local economic landscape!
This is the time to construct an interactive local blog in order to develop Question & Answer sessions with your local client base. Customers will come to their local expert or vendor before they go out of their local boundaries, if they know you can supply them with great service, and immediate response.
Being local can become your competitive edge!
This is the time to freshen local web content in order to reach out to customers with exciting call-to-action offers that can only be created locally!
Let your local restaurant's customer base know about that 10% discount on that Lunch of the Day!
Help customers learn about that Buy One-Get One Free Offer at your local retail outlet.
Invite clients to take advantage of a one-time complementary web content audit- so they can bring original and innovative ideas to their local marketplace.
Yes, we must strive to compete in a global economy- but in today's ever-increasing trend-based world;
Local Content is KING!
