Why Local Digital is the Future
Consumers are constantly joined to their devices and the Internet so connecting with them in the digital realm is vital for businesses to compete in hyper local markets. According to Hootsuite’s 2021 Global State of Digital Report, 7 in 10 internet users go far beyond search engines for product and service information. This is why Local Hero campaigns go the extra mile to include ads on networks like YouTube, Spotify, Waze, Facebook, and even OTT TV/CTV. Local Hero enables franchisees to run digital media campaigns on a local level like a pro, with a very low cost of entry and lots of flexibility.
“Local Hero is the culmination of listening to brands talk about the importance of providing local digital opportunities for their franchise partners that are easy to use and hit major digital channels. This comprehensive app gives franchisees more control over the success of their business with the capabilities of a full digital marketing agency at their fingertips,” added Tom Meyer, Local Hero’s Senior Vice President of Customer Success.
“Local Hero is local store marketing modernized, and now franchisors can affordably provide this intelligent app with robust capabilities to their franchisees,” added Edelman.
