The Problem With Local Marketing Right Now

Most small businesses in New Paltz are pouring money into channels that don't reach their neighbors anymore.

2–5%

Social Media's Organic Reach

That's what percentage of your followers actually see your posts. Facebook and Instagram have become pay-to-play platforms where your content is buried by algorithms and ads.

Return From Most Local Ads

Flyers get thrown away. Banner ads get ignored. Radio spots are impossible to track. Most local businesses can't even tell you if their last ad campaign brought in a single customer.

73%

Consumers Ignore Generic Ads

People have built walls against traditional advertising. But they trust recommendations from sources they already read. That's the gap our sponsors fill.
