Why Local Online Advertising is So Effective
Writing by Brick Marketing on Sunday, April 6, 2008
The world in general is showing a definite trend, leaning away from print resources and moving toward online searches. And of all the searches done online, about 25% of those are local searches, meaning that local online advertising is an extremely effective method of reaching people who are looking for what you have. Some other reasons that online advertising is so useful:
- Local searchers are ready to buy. In general, people use broad searches to find out more about a product and look locally when they are interested in buying. That means that local online advertising can be just the thing to bring in more sales.
- People are more likely to buy if they can pick the product up. Human beings like instant gratification, so being able to have the product in their hands the day they decide to buy is a huge plus.
- 46% of internet users have searched for a local store in the past 3 months. People are using the internet to search for locations to buy items in their own towns now and 46% is a pretty decent number!
These are some excellent reasons to try local online advertising if you haven´t yet started. People are very responsive these days to local online advertising and it can be a great way to reach new clients.

Great points! Local directories are a great medium because they’re both a demographically and geographically targeted audience, and they’re at the best possible moment in the buying cycle to capture their attention.
