Shop Local – Buy Local – Invest Local
to gain more business for you and your area

Developed and taught by Martin Brossman

Learn how to generate a dynamic Shop Local strategy to help your business, your town and your county. Because keeping more money in the local economy creates a foundation for real economic growth, it’s important to add the power of Social Media to rev up traditional local marketing efforts and build a higher level of enthusiasm for reaching current and future customers.  This is where the New Media—on the air —connects with old-fashioned customer service on the ground to appeal to an ever-widening audience that is searching and making purchase decisions online.

Major topics of the seminar include:

 Maximizing the attracting power of smart phones and tablets used by prospective customers, to draw them into your business.
 Understanding effective ways of investing your time, attention and money that help your own business and community.
 Using the right combination of marketing, web directories and social media to multiply your marketing efforts
Integrating the mission of the town with the individual mission of each business to make your area a true destination for outside visitors to spend more money in your area.

It can be taught in a classroom setting or a computer lab (hands-on) class. Participants for the hands-on class are required to establish a Google email account (gmail) in advance.
