Building Buzz Online

I'm so excited - my favorite Portland source for the latest products, fabulous boutiques, hot new restaurants, events and other must-know insider scoop just expanded to Seattle. Seattle Picks comes out every Friday and will no doubt be just as popular in the Emerald City as it is in Portland. If you do business in Seattle be sure to “pitch” yourself to the savvy Seattle Picks scouts and maybe they’ll feature you in an upcoming edition. Promoting your store, product or event to hip Seattleites through Seattle Picks is a great way to get your business in front of thousands of potential customers. Pitch yourself through the online submission form or sign up for Seattle Picks by visiting Seattle Picks online.

And if you’re not in Seattle? Scout out similar city guides and online resources for hip happenings in your city or market specific ones for your target market like Savvy Mommy for the baby/mama market. Send them information on your products, pitch yourself for an online gift guide or tie your business to an upcoming holiday. Websites, blogs and e-newsletters can be an important tool for driving traffic to your business.
