Today’s businesses often spend a large percentage of their marketing budget, if not all of it, online. The goal is to reach as many people as possible and that often takes a broad and generalized approach. If you want to attract everyone, you can’t be too specific with your marketing.

However, when this approach is taken, businesses usually miss the potential right in their own back yard. Sure, your business is online but your customers may be neighbors. And marketing to neighbors can be easier. Instead of trying to create tactics and strategies that appeal to the masses, you can create detailed and specific campaigns that hit home and attract attention.
