An expert in local marketing says most people don’t realize how inexpensive it is to create a local business listing.
—
For most local business owners, the art of marketing is something they think only the experts understand. But the reality is this: anyone can market a local business, and it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.
Case in point: most local business directories offer free local business listings to small business owners. And one expert says that is a surprise to many people.
“I talk to people all the time who thought local business listings were just another expensive marketing tactic,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, a local business directory that automatically shows visitors the local listings, events, news, and weather in their own city or town by using special technology. “In fact, creating a free local business listing is one of the smartest things mom and pop shop owners can do these days.”
He’s talking about a recent study that shows almost 100 percent of today’s shoppers to go local business directories when they want to find local businesses. “It doesn’t matter if a shopper is looking for local restaurants, dress shops, or a car repair shop, they will likely go to a local business directory to find it. And if your business isn’t on it, you won’t get the business.”
He recommends that every small business owner take ten minutes and set up a free local business listing to attract new customers. “It’s a few minutes of your time,” he says. “And the business you’ll earn will be well worth the effort.”
