2. Subtle Shifting From Small to Local
When using the buzzword, “local” in the spotlight instead of “small business” in the spotlight, it tends to trigger more consumers in your local area to look into doing business with you. However, identifying as local does not mean you can not go global. It just shows that you have roots in a specific community that you also care about.
According to Eric Groves, the CEO of Alignable.com, over 80% of B2C companies worldwide are from customers within a radius of five miles. So, to take full advantage of your local stance, you should define your local target market. You also should adjust the settings on your Facebook page to show your company as a local business.
3. Quicker Growing by Personalizing
Being able to learn your customers’ needs, wants, preferences, and even their first name shows that you care. You will be able to engage and meet their needs according to the industry you are in. Also, your customers will appreciate how you care and provide the utmost services and products for them instead of you treating them like another number. And as a result, they will more likely become return customers, and they will more likely to refer your company to family and friends.
According to Andri Kristinsson, the CEO of Travelade, companies can not rely on a one-size-fits-all marketing process anymore. So, practically all industries or market segments are pursuing hyper-personalization or engagement of each client.
4. The Importance of Using Less is More Cliche
