Marketing Firm to Promote Local Businesses Only-- RelyLocal.com Plans to Grow the Local Economy with a Grassroots Campaign
Spring Hill is the first community in the Tampa Bay area to join a growing movement to “take back” the economy for small business. RelyLocal.com is a web-based marketing approach that accepts only locally owned and operated businesses, part of a nationwide grassroots campaign to keep money in local communities.
Spring Hill, FL, September 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Spring Hill has become the first community in the Tampa Bay area to join a growing movement to “take back” the economy for small business. Rely Local is a nationwide grassroots campaign to support local businesses and keep money in the local community. The Spring Hill territory also includes Brooksville, Hudson, and other surrounding areas. With the success of the Spring Hill venture, more RelyLocal territories will be offered in the area in the near future.
Consumers are getting tired of seeing store after store close down, as local businesses face increasing competition from national chains and “big box” stores. Now they can do something about it--and they are. Relylocal was created in response to the economic problems facing this country. It is a web-based marketing approach that accepts only locally owned and operated businesses. The idea is simple--buy local and more money stays in the local community. When $100 is spent locally, about $45 stays in the community, as opposed to only about $14 when consumers shop with a national company. Thus, more local jobs are created, with a bolstering of the local economy.
Rely Local is tapping into a trend for customers to “buy local,” especially among those who are 50+. They are realizing that they can use their own buying power to revitalize their local economy. “We’re all in this together,” says Dr. Nancy Philips, the owner of Rely Local’s Spring Hill territory, “so let’s work together to make it happen. We’re ready to put the ‘spring’ into Spring Hill—we invite you to join us.”
The Rely Local Web network is a very cost effective marketing approach for even the smallest of local businesses--only 25 dollars a month to get started, less than the cost of an evening out. Dr. Philips, a Spring Hill resident herself, is excited to be able to make a difference in her community. She has a PhD in Psychology and is an expert on web marketing for businesses. She has been doing web marketing and has been a champion of local business since the mid-1990’s. A related RelyLocal – Spring Hill Facebook page has already been established, using the power of social media to help develop a real online community for the area. Dr. Philips is also using more traditional marketing approaches, networking with other small business and community groups, such as local Chambers of Commerce.
“It’s so important to have our own local search engine that people can go to when they shop online, as so many people do today,” says Dr. Philips. The “Yellow Pages” are quickly becoming a thing of the past—when people are looking for something locally these days, they turn to the computer. The next time you need something, before heading off to a big chain store, consider whether the item is available through a local business. Check on RelyLocal.com before you head out.
Local business owners who want to inquire about becoming members of Rely Local can contact springhillinfo@relylocal.com.
