Local marketing automation platform Brandmuscle has put together an infographic with five ways to make your local efforts successful—no matter what your local strategy entails and who you’re selling through. Some highlights:

• Make digital a priority. The top 3 local marketing tactics are digital, yet 57% of affiliates’ digital marketing programs are self-managed, without support from agencies or a corporate office, the infographic explains.

• Consider local events. Affiliates consider events a successful local marketing tactic, yet they also say events are one of the hardest tactics to implement”.
