Inexperienced or Shady Internet
Marketers
There seems to be a never ending
supply of these guys. You know, the guys
who only a short time ago were
professionals in some other line of
work, but now run Internet
advertising and marketing companies because
they figured out how to take advantage
of technically disadvantaged small businesses by selling them
services that are
unrealistically exaggerated in cost and
promise,
or selling them expensive Google Ranking |
services
that the small business owner did not
know they could easily and simply do
themselves for less than a fraction of
the cost and very little time
investment.

Local Yellow Pages
With the use of the Internet on the
rise, the local yellow pages has
dramatically decreased in popularity. |

Radio Advertising
There are two types of radio
advertising, local AM and the broader
FM. Local AM does not have the
programming needed or enough of a local
audience, or maybe it is not enough of
your target demographic market to
deliver traffic to your products or
services. The broader FM does not
make sense if you need to go after a
local target market. "From Philly
to the beaches and all areas in between"
You will pay a lot of money to broadcast
to a majority of people that would not
travel to your location to make a
purchase.

Local Cable TV Advertising
Can be very effective especially
with an ongoing campaign, but who can afford this? Raise your
hands. Local television advertising is
just too far out of reach for many local
independently owned small businesses.

We are not saying that these media
vehicles are useless (Except for the
shady Internet Guys) We are saying that
for any small business to effectively
take advantage of these vehicles
to the degree of positively impacting
their small business, that business
would have to invest a fortune and hire
a marketing manager to effectively audit
the quality of the service providers and
manage the campaigns.
Our goal is to get you the type of
exposure you need as a locally owned
business supporting our local economy.
By combining our experience, services,
and cooperative opportunities that are
available through membership we can
deliver the type of exposure and
supportive services that local
independently owned small businesses
need in today's economy so that we can
further strengthen our local living
economy.
Stop competing with the national brands
for your local target audience and stop
being taken advantage of by advertising
and marketing providers who promise high
results but deliver next to nothing.
Become a member of Local First and level
the playing field with national brands,
get the most results for your marketing
dollars, strengthen your business,
community and local living economy.
