Grassroots Marketing: Local, Organic and Fresh

Description

The local movement isn't just about food. Local marketing can connect with people on a personal and visceral level, which is why it can be so powerful, when done right. But as a national brand or service looking to connect with consumers on a local level, authenticity, empathy and transparency are keys to survival. National brands can earn the respect of local consumers, not only starting real conversations – but finishing them. And it’s possible to do it in a way that builds trust over time. Learn how to infiltrate local markets in a way that will give your brand regional staying power.
