Michael Hemsworth
March 22nd, 2013
With the economy consistently shifting and more consumers putting a stronger focus on finding what they need in their own community, these local search marketing tips can help a company emphasis the level of ease when it comes to buying products. Before diving in, let’s put local search in perspective; it deals directly with community-oriented consumer infrastructure, where customers look only within their immediate surroundings to find what they need as opposed to driving far distances or ordering online. There are a few key ways that companies are approaching local search marketing, so here are a three tips to stay savvy:

1. Emphasize the Eco: When it comes to local search, it’s all about reducing one’s carbon footprint and supporting local businesses, so appropriately branding and highlighting the economical aspects of a brand is key to creating a transparent relationship with customers. Mama Earth Organics specializes in delivering organic produce on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, so the best fruits and vegetables are always kept on-hand and don’t need to be hunted for at the grocery store. The company delivers to people all over the city and helps connect people to their local food source.

2. Be Easily Found: It might seem obvious, but making sure everything a company offers is found quickly and efficiently is something that might be overlooked. Making use of social media and staying more on-top of where your company is in the search engine world is the best way to reach out to local customers. This is covered in Trend Hunter’s PRO Trend Niche Search that focuses on search engines that are more custom-tailored to products and services, which are great to be involved with to reach local consumers.

3. Make the Most of Mobile Technology: The Postmates app is an innovative approach to bicycle delivery: couriers can check-in whenever they are ready for business and are able to quickly find available jobs. Utilizing such innovations from the business aspect to the consumer aspect is a great way to effectively communicate with local people and businesses so everyone can benefit.

Staying in-the-know with clever ways to market can be tough, which is where the Trend Hunter Eco Trend Report can come in handy for identifying key characteristics of innovative tactics being done by local businesses, so check it out for more comprehensive insight.
