Attract customers with local business advertising
Hyperlocal marketing is a game-changer when it comes to attracting customers right on your doorstep. An eye-catching outdoor banner or Signicade® can grab the attention of passersby and invite them to stop, look and shop. Plus, strategic placement in high-traffic areas creates a constant reminder of your presence in the community.
But it’s not just about big, bold outdoor advertising – smaller print pieces like postcards and flyers are powerful tools that complement your local marketing strategy. Mailing them directly to homes in the neighborhood or handing them out at local events are great ways to get your brand into potential customers’ hands.
Merch is another local advertising must-have that helps draw customers to your brand. People love freebies – and branded T-shirts, tote bags and hats are like billboards that everyone can wear and share. These items don’t just build a sense of loyalty among your customers, but they also spread the word in your local community (and beyond).

Make sure they’re easy to read and provide valuable information to potential customers. Consider highlighting special offers, promotions or upcoming events to entice neighbours to stop by.

branded flyer in the postbox. Add details about where to find you as well as an enticing deal, and deliver them to households in the nearby community.
• Local events and fairs: Consider setting up a stand to showcase your products or services. You can even give out branded clothing and accessories that people will hold on to and remember you by.
• Word-of-mouth marketing: Encourage customers to spread the word about your business to their friends, family and neighbours. Offer referral incentives or loyalty rewards to incentivise word-of-mouth recommendations.
