Localization Will Trump Local
Local marketing has been a hot topic for several years. However, what will set the ultimate winners apart from the pack in the local market in 2012 is "localization," or customization of your marketing for each specific geographic target.Take hotels, for example. Various national chains run generic local ads across the country, but one Boston hotel management firm increased its reservation phone calls from the web by 508% in their first month after moving to a localized strategy. Local has been the rage, but the more meaningful trend in 2012 will be localization.

Top 4 Local Business Marketing Tips for Internet Savvy Business Owners

2009-05-16T17:07:00.000-07:00

As a local marketer, we often wondering how to help local business get their business listed online with the most advanced technology. Internet has become a great resource for local business to boost their local business and pay less and sell more!

When it comes to running a successful local business, offline local marketing is essential. For a local business, local marketing often seems like a tough task – especially when it comes to marketing your local business on the Internet.

Many times, local business owners fear that local coupon marketing needs to be expensive in order to be effective. Fortunately - this isn’t true. Here are five simple tips for local business owners who are looking to save dollars, while still running an effective online marketing campaign to increase their offline local business.

1. Optimize Your Website for human

There are three simple but important steps to take so that you can be sure your local marketing is done right.

The first is to use a descriptive title for your site as well as keywords and a description that allows search engines and site visitors alike to know what they will find when they visit your web page. Once that’s taken care of, make sure that you are placing keywords appropriately in the text of your website.

Your keywords should be specific to your products and services, and should be chosen with consideration for the terms prospective customers would use when searching with Google or Yahoo or whichever other search engine they use.

Finally, these keywords should also be used in the alt image tags as they relate to the photos and illustrations that you post to your website.

2. Market Your Website with Articles & Distribute Press Releases

Article marketing is an extremely effective way to draw visitors to your website. By creating an informative short article that relates to your business, your area of expertise and your keywords, you can show readers a bit more of what they’ll find from your business – which you can link to in your resource box at the bottom of the article.

Online press releases are another effective marketing tool. Like conventional press releases that let local newswires pick up a story about a new staff member or a new product line, online press release distribution will allow you to get the word out to those who publish online newsletters or who review products and services like those that you offer.

Both articles and press releases published online create valuable, relevant inbound links to your website (via the link to your site in your resource box at the end of each article or press release). Search engines place a great amount of value on the number of inbound links you have to your site, so this is an excellent way of building popularity with the search engines, as well as your human customers.

Both article marketing and distributing press releases will enable you to establish yourself as an expert and your company as a source for products or services. Each is effective, and often, submission to article directories is free – that’s right, free marketing for your business, all it takes is a little bit of time.

3. Start Many Blogs

It’s a common statement when it comes to Internet marketing: content is king. A blog – short for a weblog – allows you to create fresh content at regular intervals, driving traffic and search engines to your website.

Like article marketing and press release distribution, having a blog allows you to establish your expertise about the products and services that your small business offers. Unlike article marketing and press release distribution, however, a blog allows you to begin to carry on a dialog with your current and prospective customers.

Your blog works like search engine magic for your website. By linking your blog to your website, you draw the search engines to your website. Your site will rank higher and your customers will have a much easier time finding your site.

4. Commit to a Link Building Strategies and Submit Your Site to Local Business Directories

As a local business owner building and promoting your business on the web, having quality inbound links (backlinks) is important. Links allow your site to be found by those who visit similar sites looking for the products and services that your company offers.

BackLinks – like those at the end of your articles and press releases, like those that link back to individual products or services from within your blog, and like those from others who have purchased from you in the past – help to improve your site’s search engine rank.

By submitting your business’ website to relevant directories and even to industry-specific – niche – search engines, you’ll begin to generate additional links. More importantly, however, these niche directories are increasingly used by those looking for very specific sites. Having your listing present will make it even more likely that your prospective customers will find your page; that makes them a particularly valuable marketing tool for your business, and, again, it’s often free to submit your site.

Marketing your local business website may require a lot of hard work, but it doesn’t require a lot of money. Taking your business to the web does not need to be difficult, nor does it need to be expensive. By taking a creative approach, local business owners on a tight marketing budget will be able to find traffic and increase their customer base.

SmartLocalShoppers.com is a search engine optimized local business directory, which will help local business get local marketing done right. More and more local shoppers find printable local coupons the best way to save money and to support local business the same time.

Marketing Essentials for the Beginners

2009-05-15T16:20:00.000-07:00

Marketing Essentials for the Beginners

Author: Robert Bassett
Online marketing is often seen as an easy and cheap way to promote your business. However, if you are a beginner, there is only so much you can do to use online marketing without needing help of a specialist. But these little steps are certainly worthwhile considering if you don't want to loose out in such a competitive world.
1. Email
When surfing the web I still find many companies using a generic email address such as mybusiness@yahoo.com or similar. If you want to use your email to contact customers or to be contacted, one of your first steps should be to set up a domain name and an email address with your business such as sales@mybusiness.com.
There are many providers on the internet, so you will have to search and compare cost and support service provided. But to do so is vital as an email address with your company name instils trust in your business and will increase the number of people choosing to contact you.
2. Website
A website does not have to be large and expensive. If you can get it designed interestingly and have resources to maintain it regularly, that's great. But the least you should have is a small website such as www.mybusiness.com with a short description of the products and services you offer and your contact details.
When potential customers are searching for a supplier on the internet (and this is increasingly being done both by businesses and consumers) you have a chance to be found. And if they think you are suitable they'll be happy to contact you by email or phone for more details. If you don't have a presence on the web, they might not even know you exist.
Over time you can think of expanding your website and using professionals to improve your search engine optimisation (SEO improve your ranking in search engines).
3. Listings
The simplest use of online marketing is to use it to be found. You can register on free sites or on sites that cost you money to list your business. Again, the better the site you are listed in ranks on search engines the better the chance that a potential customer will find you.
One tip to consider is the yellow pages you might already be listed in them. For an additional payment you can feature in the local search in Google. E.g. enter "plumber yourtown" in Google and a map with local suppliers will come up these is pulled from yell.com and a great and cost effective marketing tool for small businesses targeting consumers.

4. Advertising
If online advertising is for you depends on your target audience and products. The same thought process as for offline advertising applies, but if you have little experience get an expert on board to advise you and to develop the adverts and banners.
5. Networking
Networking is very useful for small businesses to get in touch with the right people customers, suppliers and staff. You should consider using online sites such as linkedin.com or xing.com as well to publish your profile and to get in touch and stay in touch with people that could be useful to your business or are happy to recommend you.
6. Email newsletters
Email newsletters are considerably cheaper than direct mail but you need to know where to get the best addresses from and how much to pay. You shouldn't do this without experts help as it is easy to damage your online reputation by accidentally spamming. Also your newsletters should be carefully designed just a letter copied into word is unlikely to be received positively by your customers.
Online marketing has many facet's and if you are interested, I'd recommend to take an introduction course to find out what are the best options for you. I hope that above gives you some ideas at what to look first! I can also suggest some good software or give you links on the subject that will give you a more wellrounded and informative education. Leave me a msg and I'll deffinately respond.
