What Is Local Marketing?
Local marketing is the process of distributing a brand’s message to local consumers through its channel partners — aka, affiliates with physical locations within the community. Affiliates’ close proximity to customers makes it easier for these partners to effectively target and connect with local audiences.
Unlike national marketing initiatives, local marketing campaigns are geared toward customers in specific cities, zip codes, and designated market areas (DMAs). You can get even more granular with hyper-local marketing, which targets individual consumers at the device or household level. This level of specificity requires affiliates to personalize their marketing messages to achieve the greatest success.
