Fairfield Businesses: Reach Local Customers With New Free Business Listings

At Patch, we know that growing your local customer base and building brand awareness is no easy feat — and we're here to help. So we’ve launched the Local Marketplace that includes newly redesigned features for local businesses and your neighbors who support local.

Local businesses can now:

• Get discovered by local customers with a free Business Listing: It’s as quick and easy as dropping your business card into a fishbowl. In less than 3 minutes, you can have a listing in the Fairfield Local Marketplace and a web page on Patch visited by people in your community.
• Offer exclusive deals and discounts: The best way to get local customers is to offer deals and discounts which Patch will then promote.
• Understand what’s working: Test a different deal, discount, or business update each week to see what’s resonating with customers.
• Grow your audience: Amplify your reach by promoting your Business Listing in our Fairfield email newsletters, on our local news pages, and in surrounding communities to get more people to see and engage with your content.

To get started:

Create your free Business Listing by clicking here. As a bonus, every business listing in the Fairfield Local Marketplace will automatically be eligible for our Fishbowl Friday giveaway!

Every Friday in September, we will draw the name of one local business from the Local Marketplace to receive one free month of promotion in our Fairfield email newsletters and on our local news pages.

We’re calling this Fishbowl Fridays, and the first drawing will be this Friday, September 10. So we encourage you to add your business to the virtual fishbowl — the Local Marketplace — today to be eligible.

Not a local business owner?

Patch readers who want to find exclusive deals from local businesses can access the Fairfield Local Marketplace here. You can also share the link with your friends, neighbors, and your social media connections, to help support local businesses. And if you know a local business owner, make sure they know they can list their business in the Local Marketplace for free by sharing this article.

We're continuing to build on this initiative and other ways to further support local businesses in the communities we cover and will update all of our readers on these efforts as we have more to share. Thanks for reading Patch, and for supporting local businesses and local journalism in Fairfield.
