The first step in targeting your local audience is figuring out who they are and how best they receive information. Your advertising campaign needs to target both your local, consistent customer base as well as the tourists and out of town visitors that will take advantage of your services. Type of advertising and locations are key to effective local customer advertising.
Encouraging repeat business means providing a great service at a great price. Local customers will be your loyal and consistent base if you treat them properly. This may include great prices on goods, or fair cost on services your Anchorage business may provide. Other perks can be extended to local customers, or those you think you’re going to see again. A punch card that rewards them for buying a number of individual coffee, rewards cards where customers get points for dollars spent, or a locals discount are great things to advertise as perks for your local Anchorage business customers.
If much of your business is dedicated to tourists or out of town customers, your Anchorage advertising should reflect this but it also needs to reach your local customers. You will want to focus your advertising in the right places- in brochures about your location, on websites that boast “best things to do”, and in places that travelers and tourists will frequent. Posters and billboards are seen by both types of customers if they are in the right places.
Reaching your local customers and having them as loyal consumers will extend your word of mouth advertising. When a tourist asks a local waitress where the best place is to go for your service, if that waitress frequents your business, she will surely recommend you.
