Hi There,

Simple Tricks and Top Tips

Here at CityLocal we have been looking to see how you can add ways to get infront of the competition and connect with your local customers.

Here are some of our simple tricks and hot tips:

#1 - People Buy From People
#2 - Broadcast Your Special Offers

#1 - People Buy From People

We all know that the personal touch can often make a difference when selling your products and services. Before your imagination runs away, let's make it clear that we are not talking about physically touching your customers but more about building trust and relationships!

Your business profile on CityLocal may look great with pictures, videos and reviews (if you don't have any of these, you might want to work on your listing) and by adding a personal profile alongside your business profile, you can bridge the gap between a faceless advert to a personal sell. You can add a picture of yourself with links to your Facebook, Twitter and blog page if you wish and you can even add a picture slide show with a personal message next to it! This allows your potential customers to connect with the person behind the business.

You only have a few moments to make an impression to a potential customer and all you have to do is open your listing on CityLocal, click the edit tab at the top right, login and start updating your personal profile. Really, it is as simple as that!

#2 - Broadcast Your Special Offers

Do you have an irresistible offer that you think would help you drum up more business? Did you know that you can add a Money Saver Voucher similar to the one below alongside your business profile? :

People love special offers and the next step is to get this in front of as many potential customers as possible. The question is, how can you do this? It is actually very simple. Beneath the voucher on the voucher tab, there is a function that allows you to send this Special Offer Voucher to as many people as you want.

All you have to do is create a list of names and email addresses. The easiest way you can do this is by taking a note of your customers name email address as and when they use your service or buy your products. You can then use CityLocal to broadcast your Special Offer Voucher to these people directly from your listing and because they have used your service in the past, they are more open to your business as you have already built that element of trust. You can start building your list and promoting today!

Hope this has got you thinking...
