According to the National Retail Federation, Americans will spend about $1,000 each during the upcoming winter holidays, which is about $50 less than they spent last year. And one expert in local retail marketing says there is one thing retailers need to know to get their share of the pie.

“Local shops and businesses are having a difficult time right now,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online local business directory that offers a form of free advertising for local business owners. “And they need to do all they can to get their share of holiday sales.”

He says that many consumers are not shopping locally this year because of COVID fears and local business owners need to do all they can to overcome this obstacle. “One way to increase sales, even from shoppers who prefer to make purchases online, is to offer them what they want.”

He says local shop owners should create a program that offers consumers online shopping options in case they fall into this category. He suggests setting up an online store that offers the bestselling products or services in the shop. “But,” he says, “The shop owners need to take things one step further.”

The spokesman says that having an online isn’t enough. “Shop owners also need to ensure all those holiday shoppers can find your store so they can buy from you,” he says. “And the best way to put your shop in front of shopper’s eyes is to create a free local business listing.”

He says his website, FindUsLocal.com, offers free local business listings to local business owners. “Simply go to the site and claim your business listing and then make sure all of the details in the listing are correct,” he says. “And be sure to include a link for your online shopping option. Soon,” he says, “you’ll start ringing in all of those holiday sales.”
