Designed to equip business owners with digital know-how and the tools to promote themselves online, True Local Digital PowerPacks are packages that help SMBs build websites, develop digital advertising and create their own online store.

The new campaign features a series of videos that position True Local as the enabler for small businesses, providing SMBs with cost-effective marketing solutions that help them to compete effectively in a crowded market.

Launching with a fly on the wall doco-style video about the overall product suite, the content features ‘Steve the Chippie’, a tradie who becomes so confident in his ability to run social media, and design websites and online stores through True Local’s Digital PowerPacks, that he diversifies his carpentry business to include digital marketing.

The narrative sees Steve start offering expert consultancy to local hairdressers, beauty parlours, restaurants and other trades. Each video wraps with his clients seeing through him, realising True Local is the real source behind Steve’s online ability.

Says Sarah Peacock, CMO, True Local: “We know many local businesses want to start marketing their business online but don’t know where to start. We created Digital PowerPacks to empower Australian small and medium businesses to be digitally confident. The new campaign shows just how simple they are to implement, with our support.”

The campaign, consisting of video content, display ads and case study testimonials, will roll out across True Local’s digital and social channels from now through to December 2017.

To use the Digital PowerPacks, no previous digital knowledge is required. Each product is designed to walk the user through the production of content step-by-step, focusing on the following areas:

·       The Get On the Web PowerPack – allows business owners to build a website they can continue to update as their business evolves;

·       The Online Promoter PowerPack – allows them to create cost-effective targeted and impactful advertising on major Australian websites and social platforms;

·       The Virtual Assistant PowerPack – allows them to manage their business online, including scheduling and managing customer bookings, invoicing and collecting payments, and organising employee tasks;

·       The Sell Online PowerPack – allows them to create an online store and establish a digital presence, which is important for SMBs as Amazon enters the Australian market.

Says Peacock: “The four unique packages give business owners the opportunity to level the playing field with their competitors and bigger companies, by assisting them in producing an effective and impactful online presence in a matter of minutes.”
