It Is About Your
Neighborhood
Local Store Marketing, (also called Neighborhood Marketing or LSM) is marketing activities designed to help your business be locally relevant with your customers and community. Relevant in a way that helps you stay top of mind when they’re considering your type of products and services.
Local Store Marketing involves engaging your customers at the store or location level. It is at this local level where you have the best connection with your customers.
Often measured by reaching existing and potential customers within a 1 to 5 mile radius surrounding your location, the range LSM can be much broader or narrower based on if there are additional locations (of your brand or company) near your location or if you happen to be the only location within a region.
