Traditional Media Feedback
“I think the only reason I even do Yellow Pages
is because my competition does.”
“Radio and TV cost so much and they are gone
too quickly to be beneficial.”
“Newspaper circulation is
dropping but costs are increasing.”
“Direct mail reaches our target markets with a
great degree of accuracy.”
![Page 18: The State of Local Marketing - Midwest Foodservice Expo Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/58ae44be1a28abad338b58bd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

“Local events have worked best; we are able to get our
message out directly to customers without a filter and
we receive a direct response.”
Local Event & Sponsorship Feedback
“Being involved in the community is the most effective. It puts your name and business
out with fellow community members as someone they can
like and trust.”
“We attempted a week-long stand at the fair. It didn’t work because it
wasn’t our target market.”
“Sponsorships show that we support our local
businesses; it goes a long way in return.”
![Page 20: The State of Local Marketing - Midwest Foodservice Expo Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062820/58ae44be1a28abad338b58bd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Digital Media Feedback
“The most successful campaign so far has been
Google AdWords with a 30% ROI. I believe most of our new
leads are internet search or word of mouth.”
“Blogging is very time consuming. It’s very
passive, and growing an audience of followers is a
business on it’s own.”
“Text messaging works to get people interested in a
promo. It allows direct contact in real time. Local
and personal.”
“More support from national partners
would be helpful…”

Social Media Feedback
“I use Facebook with good results for B2B
marketing.”
“Word of mouth, Facebook and LinkedIn
are all we use because we have no advertising
budget.”
“I’d like more education on using LinkedIn and
Twitter.”
“Our system to manage Twitter, LinkedIn and
Facebook was not set up correctly and we can’t get the
vendor to fix it.”
“Someone once told me Facebook is like having a billboard in
your basement.”

Traditional media isn’t dead; look for non-traditional ways to use it and negotiate.1
2 Social media is a great way to build loyalty but it requires a lot of care and attention; focus on the one or two social channels that make the most sense for your business.
4 Track your marketing efforts and results so you can understand what’s working (and not). Don’t be afraid to test new things. Review regularly and adjust.
Leverage any tools or resources that your suppliers might make available. 3
