Yes, there’s a general group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mylocalagency/

You don’t have to sign up clients in person. You can do meetings online via Skype or Zoom. You can target whomever you like, just remember to go after clients that are already advertising as they are your best prospects.

The bigger the city, the more you can work with. What you can do is be very mindful of the type of businesses you work with.

For example: you might not want to work with 5 pizza clients, but instead diversify by working with a massage therapist, pizza restaurant, high-end restaurant, fast food place, a gift shop, etc. Just being mindful that with different types of businesses, you won’t “step on anyone’s toes.”

What can happen, is if you work with too many businesses in a small area, it can lessen your results. If this happens and you have too many clients, which is a good thing, then you can now use a directory to house those multiple clients. That is the purpose of it- to be able to cater to multiple clients in a set area.

You don’t have to sign up clients in person. You can do meetings online via Skype or Zoom. You can target whomever you like, just remember to go after clients that are already advertising as they are your best prospects.

If you offer exclusivity and the business wants it, charge a premium for it.

Yes that can happen, but you have to structure it properly. There’s two simple ways to do it:

1-VARYING BUSINESS TYPES: instead of only going after the fine dining, or the same niche of Italian restaurants as a client, get different types of businesses. Mexican place, Italian place, maybe the fast food spot.. But don’t do 2 of the same type restaurants IF it’s within close proximity .

Q: WHAT IF YOU ARE MARKETING IN A BIG AREA, IS IT THEN OK TO DO MULTIPLE BUSINESSES OF SAME TYPE?

Q: Yes. Larger cities where it takes 30 min or more to go just 10 miles, it’s acceptable. The two same places won’t cross paths. You can even take the same concept of varying businesses within a niche and do the method for other niches: ex- the restaurant, the driving range, the car wash.

When you think about it from this perspective, it only adds MORE value to the potential customers you’re marketing to- more gifts for them during their birthday week 🙂

2-THE DIRECTORY: We built this if you ever encounter that issue of close proximity, and multiple business types. The way you structure it if leading with a birthday ad is as follows:

-ANCHOR AD: This is your main restaurant

-Directory Ads: These are the businesses in the directory. You’d charge less as their would be more options for consumer ot choose from.. You make up for lesser price with volume of offers. good range $77-$97/m per directory listing.

MAIN AD: $500/M
DIRECTORY ADS: $$77-$97/M

Hope that helps.

I recommend just GET STARTED, and address that good problem when it happens. Once it does, just know there’s a solution for it 🙂

a couple of the core differences are
-no need to download any app
-no need to check-in

A lot of loyalty programs, although great, have barriers.. being the app (which nobody does) and hardware- tablet and check-in.

The hardware works for point of sell businesses but it isn’t so great with sit down type businesses where people. do not check out at the register.

This is where contactreach shines.
What were also doing now is incorporating loyalty elements that do not require downloading of any apps.

we’ll reward customers based on spend and/or visits and automatically send coupons.

HOW WE’LL DO THIS
-when offers are sent and they come to redeem offers.. we track it
-when customers come and spend money, we will have a client portal the client can track it or have the customer enter their info (similar to a tablet checkin)

So
-appeals to niches that don’t need point of sale hardware to work.
-no apps to download
-can run automation based offers.

WHERE IT DOESN’T SHINE YET COMPARED TO FIVE STAR
– No loyalty program as of yet

Go after businesses that need your help, i find it never a win when you attempt to ‘sell against’ another trying to convey how your 2 features are better than their 3 unique features
