Local Marketing — Ideas For Expanding Business?
I am starting a Hi Def tvs and accessories business. We have had a local photo store for years, now we’re getting into the HD market. Our niche: internet prices, savvy consulting, delivery, setup, installtion all at lowest prices. We are already using craigslist. What about cost/benefit of: local radio ads?, promotions through other local retailers- and which kind?, mailings?, we do have a limited website currently, but we sell local only- so how to SEO for that? We are also Ebay powersellers/drop-off site and use Constant Contact to email blast our existing local customers with deals. Other ideas on product line and pricing would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

For starters, doing a joint venture/cross promotion with other local retailers is a great idea. Promote each other’s business with in store flyers, exclusive discounts, etc. For local SEO the very best way to start is with Google Local Listings.
There are huge opportunities for local online marketing promotion, and since 80% of people look online before making a buying decision you simply have to be there.
