We want to help you build a strong business and prosper in the future!

It’s a fact most people like buying local and the personal connections they have at local businesses. The problem is connecting with consumers to get your store to stand out in front of the huge national chains with large advertising budgets and online advertisers they are bombarded with daily.

We are attacking that problem by bringing merchants in your community together on one website to pull those customers back into your store. We’ve built the missing link to connect customers to your business and made it only $85 per month so even the smallest retailer can benefit.

Just like Amazon which brought thousands of online businesses together under one website, we are bringing brick-and-mortar stores together under one website. No longer will customers need to remember various different sites, or google to find you and get bombarded with ads from other businesses all across the country, just a couple of taps on their phone and they will see your businesses, plus each day they will see a new post from you to entice them to check each day.

Our solution is HomeTownFirst.com and here is what our platform does for you.

• It brings stores together under one website that consumers will easily remember. They no longer need to remember a different website or Facebook page for each store.
• It is smartphone friendly because the majority of your traffic will come from phones.
• It is extremely convenient for consumers to use. When they open the website it will automatically Geolocate them (with their approval) and show only the stores around them.
• You no longer have to compete with ads on Google or Facebook from stores in other towns or states when consumers look for you or your products.
• We draw in consumer traffic each day with vacation giveaways, flash sales, specials, or business information.
• We have made it super fast and easy for business owners. You can set up your business listing in just a few minutes. We understand small business owners wear many hats and don’t have time for a complicated process. (I’ve advertised my business on Google for years and still haven’t figured it all out)
• Every business gets a daily posting, one for each day of the week. The idea here is to attract customers by running discounts or specials. If don’t have specials you can highlight different items. For example, a bank can highlight car loans on Monday. Free checking on Tuesday. Home loans on Wednesday….. Every business in your area benefits as you all work together posting daily specials as customers are enticed to check each day to see whats going on in their town.
• You can run different postings every day of the week which will automatically rotate. Set your taco Tuesday once and it will automatically run every Tuesday until you change or modify the posting.
• You are free to change and update posts anytime and the changes will go live immediately. Products are handled more efficiently – a local restaurant may change their specials later in the day, for example, in order to push inventory.
• Spend less time worrying about advertising and more time doing what you do best – running your business.
• Run an advertising campaign like the big boys, for pennies compared to the millions they dump into multi-channel ventures, and be competitive. Run your campaign your way, on your terms.
• Draw customers to your website you have spent so much time and money on with just a couple of taps of their fingers on their phones. We let you post links to websites, online ordering, and whatever else you need to connect with customers.
• We want to help you even more by building a wholesaler/manufacturer database, especially for small businesses. Your access to it will help you locate those specifically wanting small business clients. It is also our way of helping small manufacturers connect with businesses.
• We have designed a window and door decal to display showing you are a member of HomeTownFirst and they can easily find you online.
• We have future plans to continuously improve the web platform and bring you many more features that will help your business.

It’s ONLY $85 per Month!

I’m a local small business owner, just like yourself and I’m tired of seeing small businesses close up shop because they don’t have the required tools to compete in today’s market. I hate driving down main streets in small towns and seeing the empty shops and the stores closing, and I set out to do something about it.

I created HomeTownFirst to help local businesses and customers connect. We allow local businesses to maintain constant customized postings that are always there, always attracting clients, working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will keep improving and adding features. We currently have over $10,000 of improvements planned as soon as we get the funds.
