By Ben Khatib


Do you own a small business? There are some new marketing strategies you should use to attract local clients to your business. Do you use social media marketing? If yes, focus on features that local clients will use. You could for instance encourage your clients to check in with Facebook or with FourSquare when they visit your place of business. Encouraging your clients to check in is a good way to reach out to the people they connect with on social media.



The goal in appearing on Google+ local listing searches is to appear as a letter. Other listings that are unable to make it onto the listing panels appear as small red dots. The letter is a much easier way of potential customers locating the local business. Customer reviews of an honest and genuine nature boost the credibility of local businesses ensuring higher prospects in attracting new business. Google+ uses a built in system for reviews, however, there are various inexpensive Internet versions that businesses can use.

Use local search engine optimization strategies so your site will show up for local searches. Make the name of your location one of your most important keywords and consider using nearby locations as well. If you want to reach out to a local audience but also sell products to a wider audience on the Internet, create two different homepage so one of them can be used for local SEO purposes.

The appearance of a website may be of importance. However, content is much more important than the visual appearance of a site. Local websites on a general level does not need a professional design and self-build packages for websites are available at a low cost.

Once you have attracted a customer to your business, the next step is to help them to see that they need your product. This step is one that falls in your realm of expertise. After all, you are the owner. You should know everything there is to know about your product and be able to explain it to your customer.
