The Importance of Claiming Your Online Listings…starting with Google
June 23, 2024
In Annapolis, we know how to come together—whether it’s for a music festival, a charity run, or a Friday night community event. Event marketing is one of the smartest (and most enjoyable) ways to grow your business and connect with the people who matter most.
We’re in the middle of Boat Show Season, that’s followed by Anchors Aweigh (the annual Alumni Golf Tournament), the USNA Council of Class Presidents Conference, the annual MRE Tug of War “Slaughter Across the Water”, The Downtown Christmas Tree Lighting, followed by 3 Midnight Madness Holiday Shopping Extravaganzas!
When you show up and get involved, you’re not just promoting your brand—you’re becoming part of the fabric of our community.
Let’s look at the benefits…
1. It Builds Real Connections…
Face-to-face conversations go a long way in a town like Annapolis, where relationships drive everything. Meeting people at local events helps turn customers into friends and clients into partners. There’s simply no substitute for genuine human connection.
2. It Boosts Visibility and Local Credibility…
From banners at community fundraisers to branded tents at city festivals, local events put your name where people are—right in the heart of the action. Every event you join or sponsor reinforces that your business is invested in Annapolis, not just operating here.
3. It Generates Buzz (and Great Content!)…
Events are content goldmines. Photos, stories, social media posts, and local news coverage all extend your reach far beyond the event itself. The energy you create in person translates beautifully online, showing that your business is active, engaged, and community-minded.
4. It Strengthens Community and Loyalty…
When your business supports the causes, organizations, and traditions that make Annapolis special, people notice. They remember who shows up. That kind of goodwill builds customer loyalty and positions your brand as a trusted neighbor.
5. It Drives Leads and Sales Naturally…
Events bring interested people right to you. Whether it’s chatting about services, showcasing new products, or collecting contact info for follow-up, every interaction is a chance to grow your customer base authentically.
6. It Humanizes Your Brand…
Annapolis is full of personality—and so is your business! Events let you show that off. People love seeing the real humans behind the logo, sharing laughs, stories, and local pride.
