In this presentation we will look at local internet marketing , the resources required, along with the action plan, tips, and additional considerations for running your campaign.
Introduction to local Internet marketing Local internet marketing is same as regular internet marketing, but for companies who have a certain percentage of their sales done on a local scale. This type of marketing uses local directories, local as well as global search engines, and geo-targeting keywords to reach a local audience.
Cost and timeframe Compared to a global campaign, local internet marketing is typically cheaper, and finding directories and local search engines that are less known than Yahoo and Google can further lower your advertising costs. A few hours is really all that you will need to set up a local internet marketing campaign. Researching keywords and economic models can take some time.
Action plan Setting a budget and sticking to it will help your local internet marketing campaign, and help you keep your finances in order. You should create a localized webpage, which is a service offered by most of the search engines. Buying keywords in search engines and finding bargains is another key step.
Tips Starting a blog and targeting your local audience is another way to draw attention to your company. Inviting customers to leave testimonials and feedback will attract others and allow clients to be invested in your business.
Additional considerations In addition to marketing on a local level, joining a global or national program can help your business appear as a major player, even if it really is more of a local operation.
