Promote Your Business on LKN Savings
Use of the internet continues to grow rapidly, and, in particular, the effectiveness of the internet as a channel to increase in-store traffic is proven. 92% of consumers research online, but 95% of retail sales still take place in the store1. 85% of online shoppers have used the internet for local shopping, not an online purchase. That is why it is important for businesses to have an internet presence, even when they don't sell their products or offer services online.
At LKN Savings, our goal is to save consumers time and money and to increase in-store traffic to local businesses in the Lake Norman Area. We provide residents and visitors to the local community easily accessible information that helps them save money while shopping in the local area. At the same time, we provide local businesses an effective promotional venue; customers are specifically looking for shopping, dinning and service options when they visit the site.
If your business does not have an internet presence, listing on LKN Savings will make you "google-able." If your business has a website, your LKN Savings listing will help direct traffic to your site and improve your search-engine results. Moreover, unlike print ads, your LKN Savings listing is continuously available to visitors of the site and can be updated or modified at any time.
A key part of our mission is to support local businesses. We encourage consumers to "Buy Local" and are partners with the Lake Norman Chamber in their Buy Local Campaign, as well as active contributors to a number of community organizations. We keep our rates as low as possible in order to make the promotional opportunities on LKN Savings accessible to the small, independently-owned businesses that are so important to our community.
LKN Savings.com averages 25,000 visits per month by local consumers who are specifically seeking information on area events, sales and discounts. In addition, we reach about 6,900 customers weekly through our "Top Picks" email distribution and we have partnerships with a number of publications and community groups. Finally, we are active on Facebook (over 9,500 active users and over 560 fans averaging about 1,500 visits per month), Twitter (over 2,200 followers), and YouTube.
