Impact can be observed through increased foot traffic and community buzz shortly after the ads start running. We recommend monthly updates to maintain engagement and monitor the community's response to gauge immediate results.

StreamLocal offers a user-friendly ordering system. Additionally, our dedicated support team is available to answer any queries and provide guidance on optimizing your advertising experience.

It depends on the type of campaign you are running. For a small, local presence recording a Facebook live style video, we recommend updating your ads weekly to keep the content fresh and engaging. Regular updates help maintain a vibrant community presence and foster ongoing engagement. If you have a medium-sized campaign, we can help you build a campaign if you need one. We will help you determine frequency and rotation. We are continuing to develop resources that make this as easy as possible.

We live in a time when anyone can build a brand for very little investment. As a result, the faces and voices of the people from a local business can be your most valuable asset, giving you an advantage over national brands. StreamLocal encourages small businesses to share genuine updates and stories similar to Facebook live, fostering trust and real relationships within the community. On the other hand, if you want to invest more dollars in a quality commercial, that's a great option for many businesses.

Success is measured by monitoring community engagement and buzz. Our commercials have a 95%+ view completion rate so you can be sure your commercials are being seen. Businesses can expect rich feedback from the community and observe increased customer interactions. Packages over $1,000 will also have a number of tracking options available.

Advertising is typically sold by impressions and a common term in the industry is CPMs, or cost per thousand impressions (mills). Our rates run from $15/CPM with a monthly maintenance fee of $149/month. This provides you with a targeted geographic area at a similar or better price than local TV and cable. In a small zip code of 4,000, you can typically reach every connected TV approximately twice a week for $299/month. This puts your business into the focal point in the community.

Yes, there are several ways to do it. For our lowest CPM rates, segmentation is only possible by zip code and the focus is simply saturating a small local market. If you are buying a larger regional or national package, we can help you find zip codes that are more likely to have certain ages, genders, and income levels. We can also provide more robust segmenting on 3,000 demographic data points at $42 per CPM with the Geo & Demo Banner package ($48 without the banner). This package also provides geofencing targets down to an address list. This higher cost is due to the data that is included in what we purchase. If you want to reach at least 1/3 of the people within a zip code, our lower priced option is the best one. If you want to reach a demographic smaller than 1/3 of a zip code, the higher priced option will serve you better even if the reach is smaller. All of these provide options for targeted advertising and effective communication.

There really is no limit. On a local level, diverse businesses such as restaurants, financial advisors, stores, and more can leverage StreamLocal to share updates, offers, and valuable information, fostering community engagement and growth. Regional and national buyers can benefit from our targeted and low-cost options.

StreamLocal advertising is based on zip codes, so the population, density, and demographic profile will vary greatly. Small zip codes of around 4,000 people can work well for $299/monthly budgets, but larger or multiple zip codes will require increased investment for meaningful reach.
