Today was no different, although I did ask one or two questions for my own gain. Usually I try to answer or input as much as I can, but this time I though I'd pick the brains of East Grinsteads finest!
What was my topic of concern? Local advertising and the better/more effective use of social media. Can you help?
We're trying to increase the footfall to the business, both online and in person? What to do? Let me tell you where we're at in both locations:
Newcastle
We are pretty long established here, 20 years in fact. Word of mouth works best here as we have quite the extensive loyal customer-base. Yellow-pages work really well here. A lot of people in the North East seem to use that. As far as social media goes, or using Google adwords for that matter, we dont. Yet.
East Grinstead/London
We have only just open shop here recently. Things have moved slowly, but forward. Thousands of leaflets have been distributed, signs carried through the town centre, adverts placed in the local ad-mag, countless business networking meetings have been attended, for what? Very little in return.
We are toying with the idea of Google adwords down here. What do you think? What is your experience if any?
What about Facebook? Blog? Twitter?
Really, the whole of the South East is in this catchment area, but more realistically, Lingfield, Crawley, Lewes, Brighton, Haywards Heath, basically East and West Sussex.
Whats the secret to good local advertising? Can you help? Do you know the secret recipe? Let us know your thoughts! You know the drill.

Newcastle upon Tyne:

We can let this fantastic weather, scorching temperatures and the likes go to waste!
Thanks!
