At a time when most shoppers go online to look for stores, service businesses and restaurants, one local marketing expert is urging small business owners to change the way they think about reaching new customers.

“If small business owners don’t update their strategies when it comes to attracting new customers, they may find plummeting sales and a drastically decreased amount of foot traffic,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online local business directory that gives small shops and eateries an online presence for free. “Today’s shoppers don’t find US local businesses the way they used to,” he says. “Instead, they go online to look for local shops and restaurants, even if those businesses are only located a few blocks away.”

He’s talking about advertising on local business directories, which have quickly overtaken the marketplace to become the “new and updated” Yellow Pages. These online directories allow shoppers to search for local businesses quickly and easily from their laptops, tablets, or even from their phones when they’re on the go.

“And quality local business directories provide shoppers with all the information they need to make a buying decision,” he says. “For example, at FindUsLocal.com, our free local business listings have directions, maps, online reviews, and even a place for shoppers and business owners to leave live comments that stream on the homepage. If people are looking for a local business, we make it easy for them to find it.”

With statistics showing that almost 100 percent of consumers use local business directories to find local business, he’s right. If small business owners can’t be found online by shoppers, chances are they aren’t getting very many new customers walking through the doors.”
