Group Advertising Program
Introducing the Support Local BC
Group Advertising Program
In the September 2023 survey we sent to participating businesses, over half of respondents indicated that marketing and advertising are one of their most significant struggles.
We have a solution! Let’s work together to market the Support Local BC program as well as individual participating businesses. We’re calling it the Group Advertising Program.
The Support Local BC Group Advertising Program is a collaborative sharing of an advertising budget, strategically designed to empower small businesses, foster stronger relationships, optimize marketing efforts, and collectively thrive in the challenging landscape of traditional and digital marketing.
Our plan is to launch the program by 1 October 2023.
When we work together and pool our resources, we can compete on a larger stage and make great things happen.
How does it work?
On average, small businesses in BC allocate between $1,000 and $10,000 per month for marketing and advertising. Here’s how our program works:
With our program, each participating Support Local BC Business contributes just $50 monthly to a Group Advertising Budget.
This pooled budget is then strategically utilized for a variety of “clicks and mortar” advertising solutions, including billboards, radio, television, targeted digital advertising, SEO, Social Media, and the Support Local BC Profile Pages and Consumer App
