Local marketing

For small and medium businesses well thought out, regional marketing (local marketing) is a great chance. Even with a small budget effective results can be accomplished. Of course different measures, such as local public relations, advertisements, direct marketing, local sponsoring, as well as a well thought out pricing policy should be combined. A well-balanced marketing mix will make it possible to increase the volume of sales.
