Expert Urges Local Business Owners to Not Become Complacent after the Holidays

An expert in local business urges shop owners to not get complacent just because the holidays are over. He says that it’s important to maintain an online presence at all times.

Arroyo Grande, CA, United States – February 1, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Now that the holidays are over, a local business expert is urging local business not to become complacent in their efforts to attract new customers.

“I’ve seen it too many times,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, a local business directory that offers free local business listings so that small, local stores can easily compete online with the larger chains. “After the holidays, too many local business owners relax and stop doing what they need to in order to bring in new business, but that’s a mistake.”

He goes on to say that it’s necessary to consistently build and maintain an online presence in order to be competitive in today’s tech savvy world. “Many local business owners still rely on old-school methods to bring in new business, but the truth is, those methods just don’t work anymore. If local shops and restaurants want to be successful in today’s culture, they have to be seen online.” He says that all too often, local business owners get lax after the holidays and stop their efforts to bring in new business, thinking that the shopping season is over. But what they don’t realize is that having an effective online presence takes consistent effort.

He says that it’s not necessary to spend a lot of time or money building a company website, but that by creating a local business listing on a quality local business directory, local shop owners can get that online presence, and it won’t cost them a dime.

“Most quality local directories allow local shop owners to list their businesses for free. This levels the playing field and gives owners a way to compete with the larger stores.”

While it’s true that the holidays are over, the search engines are still indexing local business listings in order to show them in the search engine results. And the fact is that those local business owners who can’t be found online simply can’t compete with those who can.
