Benefits

Online Exposure
You can never be in too many places on the internet.  Over-exposure just doesn't exist online.  With search engines getting busier and busier with all the clutter out there, the more opportunities for your business to be found, the better.  Local Proud is one more way to make that happen.  Our pages are optimized for search engines and filled with meta tags and keywords that increase your odds of being found on major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, Lycos and more.

Social Media
With social media now on the landscape, it is just as much part of your marketing as other elements.  The cool thing is, that most of the time, it doesn't cost you a dime!  We take advantage of that fact and constantly send out blasts via Facebook and Twitter promoting our local businesses and their perks.  Additionally, a social media feature is built right into your profile page allowing you and your customers to share your page through numerous social media sites.  We even included a Facebook "like" button on your page and a bold and beautiful link to your Facebook page.

Businesses Helping Businesses
Perhaps the greatest benefit to the whole Local Proud program is the fact that business owners are coming together to help one another.  By distributing the Perks card to their customers, they are in-turn, introducing your business to them as well.  By offering an incentive, it becomes more than a casual introduction.  And the more businesses that join the program means greater exposure for you!

Discount Card Program
You can start your own customer loyalty program and trim your advertising budget by reducing printing costs of coupons and other mailers.  Not only that, you are helping the environment by not requiring your customers to print online coupons - saving paper and expensive ink!
