Patch recently released a new way for Oceanside businesses to reach engaged, local customers.

We made the Local Marketplace:

• Easy to use so you can establish a local presence without marketing or development experience or expense
• Hyperlocal so you can define what "local" means to your business by choosing the specific communities you want to reach
• Top-of-mind so when your customer needs your service, you'll be the business they think of first

The Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Local Marketplace is for every kind of local business: from stores and service providers to realtors and dog walkers. Create your free business listing today!

Want a little extra? For just $79/month per community, your business listing will be featured in Patch's daily newsletter, on Patch news pages and on the Local Marketplace page, and you can share your listing with nearby communities.
