Local Marketing Initiatives
Buy True Local
We are investing in our local economies within the Alton and Edwardsville areas to launch an exciting new Buy True Local campaign. We would love for you to partner with us and help keep shopping local, not just at the holidays, but throughout the year! You will begin seeing window decals around town in local businesses with the Buy True Local logo, as well as a Business Directory and Business Profiles on our news sites. We will also have special advertising packages available to local businesses only. Hearst Midwest is excited about this new campaign and to be educating the public on the positive impact that shopping local can have on the local economy and overall quality of life.BIG Marketing for Local Businesses
Today’s buying world is more complex than ever with the typical consumer using an average of six touch-points when purchasing an item or service compared to two touch-points 15 years ago according to Marketing Week. Reaching the ideal consumer in a variety of ways is essential to strengthen a business’s brand, generate quality sales leads, and standout in a highly competitive marketplace. Hearst Midwest Media Group has a rich history and deep familiarity with the communities we’ve served for over a century while offering a robust, innovative marketing portfolio that connects your business to its target audience.
