From the Editor Seeking Contributing Writers! If you happen to write about Local Marketing anywhere in the world, we want to know what you can share with our readers. Contact [email protected] for submission guidelines. Dear Readers, I want to thank you for reading our brand new publication, Local Marketing.Today. We hope to provide the latest tips that can help improve the lead generation and eventually sustainability of small and medium sized businesses around the world. The intent of this publication is to highlight the news, opinions, statistics and insights from those actively involved in the local marketing industry. We are actively seeking writers who have something to say and want to share it with the world. Topics can range from Analytics to Zed (company), (a Spanish company that markets entertainment products to the mobile phone industry). Let’s face it; local businesses depend on local consumers by and large, so it makes sense for marketers to focus their attention on the local consumer. Small business owners typically do not have the staff to fully manage their own marketing efforts, let alone managing their business. It behooves everyone to learn more about local marketing, businesses and marketing agencies. The long-term goals of Local Marketing.Today is to grow into a leading periodical that serves the entire scope of the local marketing scene, eventually being translated into other languages. In order to grow however, we need your help to do so. As our magazine grows in quality and size, sharing what you know as well as what you are seeking in the way of information can assist me in tailoring the magazine to everyone’s liking. So find a way to contribute; if not by writing an article, share it with your friends and business associates that may benefit from some of the information found within. ON ANOTHER TOPIC You may not know much about me; I am a recluse and don’t spend much time in public or in print other than with my novels. I know the publisher as a fellow author. We’ve been collaborators for many years. I remain in the shadows until now. I was asked to try to bring this project to life, and it appears I may have succeeded. Time will tell. Best Wishes, Montgomery Alexander Kaine (MAK) 3
