Why It Works For You
Small, local businesses often don’t have the marketing budget afforded by mid-sized and national companies. Luckily, local businesses don’t need their marketing strategies to reach as far as larger companies. For the locally-owned business, a local marketing campaign does the trick. The BlocalE Plan targets your immediate area, bringing you local patrons.
What Our Customers Say
“My business partner and I call the BlocalE Plan the ‘Goldilocks’ plan because it was JUST RIGHT for our small, local business. We are located in a hard to find spot, so we get little traffic from passersby. But we definitely noticed an increase in visitors after we signed on with Ajax.”
“The option of al-a-carte add-ons to the BlocalE Plan really sealed the deal for us. We don’t have to worry about our Facebook or Twitter because it’s taken care of, but if we have a special event we want to post about, all we have to do is call up Ajax Union.”
