CHICAGO, Oct. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrandMuscle today announced the launch of the industry's first hyperlocal events solution for channel marketers. The foundation of BrandMuscle's events marketing solution is a database of over 8,000 carefully researched, high-quality, hyperlocal events vetted by a team of marketing specialists and ranked by local partners.
For the past five years, BrandMuscle's State of Local Marketing Report has found that agents, dealers, retailers, and other local channel partners who use event marketing, rank community events as one of the most effective tactics for driving measurable ROI. The report also found that participation in local events, while highly effective, is challenging for both corporate brands and their local partners. Brand marketers find it difficult to execute local event marketing at scale, and local partners struggle to identify which events they should attend.
"As we dug deeper into the data we noticed that despite being a highly effective tactic, a sizable number of partners were avoiding events simply because they had difficulty finding the right events to participate in," states Jason Tabeling, EVP of Product Marketing at BrandMuscle. "In 2019, partners ranked events a top three marketing priority. By providing local partners with easy access to a high-quality data source for hyperlocal events, we hope to make events more accessible to local partners and eliminate some of the barriers to entry."
BrandMuscle's Local Events Solution is Flexible and Easy to Use:
- Eliminate time and money wasted on local event research and event lists that fail to deliver accurate hyperlocal event information, by accessing a curated database of over 8,000 hyperlocal events
- Find the right events quickly with intuitive search, keywords, and category filters. Top performing categories include Home & Garden Shows, State & County Fairs, and Sporting/Health.
- Discover personalized, algorithmically suggested events based on search behavior and location

“We believe local events represent a massive opportunity for our customers' channel partners to connect with the community and grow their businesses,” concludes Tabeling. “The ability to have these sourced events in one spot, ready to connect businesses to their community, will help accelerate growth and encourage local business owners to focus on engaging with customers.”
