The Best Business Marketing Tool Ever !
Several weeks ago our Chamber issued an invitation to all of its members to attend a presentation about a new program called “ The Local Project ”. We were curious and attended to find out what this new opportunity had to offer . To be totally honest we didn ’ t expect much ! However , we went anyway . And are we glad that we did ! We couldn ’ t enroll Select Marketing into this program fast enough . For us it was a “ No Brainer ”. We are usually cautious about getting involved with new things until we are certain that it will be good for our business . We were convinced about this , and convinced quickly ! The internet is the most astounding marketing tool ever devised by mankind ! That is a bold statement but I believe it to be true . What I learned at this Chamber workshop makes the internet even better . “ The Local Project ” uses the internet concept ; however “ The Local Project ” makes it much better for local communities as a whole ! " The Local Project " promotes opportunities for local businesses to connect with local residents and visa versa . It acts and functions as a localized internet . The process for this can be found in an APP . This FREE APP is named " The Local Project ", and it is available at the APP store of your choice . The Local Project Benefits Users : When you download this APP you will have the ability to become a User and connect with local businesses . The User selects which businesses to connect with and can disconnect from any business at any time . It is totally the User ' s choice . Once a connection is made by a User to a business , the User can now receive periodic text messages notifying the User of a special event or perhaps special pricing on a product from that business . A few examples could be ; 1 ) A Hair Salon that you connected with is offering $ 15.00 off any Cut & Style today or tomorrow only . 2 ) A Restaurant that you connected with is offering a Buy One Get One FREE Meal until 6:00 pm today . 3 ) A Sports Bar that you connected with is notifying you that they just installed six additional Big Screen TV ' s for your viewing pleasure . The Local Project Benefits Business : When a Business enrolls in The Local Project they will have the ability to create a Profile describing their business . Location , hours of operation , products , and / or services provided are just a few of the things that Users can learn about their Business . Each Business selects a business category so they can easily be found by Users .
