E-Mail Marketing Campaigns

Are you like me and tired of the expensive solutions for e-mail marketing campaigns?

Are you tired of being subjected to an ocean of e-mail marketing campaigns?

What's the solution?

I'm not sure there is a solution for the flood of information that hits your in-box on a daily basis but we at the Local Crow are working on solutions that make the information available WHEN you want it. Businesses and organization leaders who use the Local Crow, have the consumer in mind. Posting information on a Local Crow Calendar can make a difference without Spamming the heck out of the consumers. Here's how:
  1. New information automatically generates a tweet in Twitter www.twitter/localcrow. Allows users to follow the information updates at their leisure without being spammed.
  2. New information is automatically updated on the communities home page calendar and "recently added" for review at the consumers leisure.
  3. Consumers can review the community home page at their leisure and view ALL community events posted based on interest and category without spending hours searching individual websites to find an activity of interest.
  4. Users of the Local Crow can opt out of e-mail's delivered through the Local Crow.
  5. Users of the Local Crow can opt out of receiving ANY e-mails delivered through the Local Crow.
  6. Users can subscribe to calendars created using the Local Crow and maintain and anonymous relationship with the business or organization and still be updated with any new activities posted via the Local Crow users home page.

If you're tired of e-mail spam and would like a more cohesive information portal into your community, then use the Local Crow and spread the word. The next time you get SPAMed, reply to the sender with...."Next time use the Local Crow" and unsubscribe to the SPAM.

If you're the one SPAMing the community with your news and activities, LISTEN UP!

It's time to work together in our communites. Contributing to a community portal product without losing your automonmy is easy at the Local Crow. You plug in the calendar just like google calendars but with the added benefit of automatically contributing to the community calendar portal. It's FREE and EASY to use with free features for e-mail campaigns if you feel compelled to send an individual e-mail to your customers.

Welcome to the Local Crow

Welcome friends and local community enthusiasts. The Local Crow is here to make your life easy and help you stay well connected to what's going on in the community. There are many "community" and social media tools out there but what makes the Local Crow different is it is an all in one community collaboration tool. It maintains contributors autonomy through their website's event and promotion posts but through creating connections to others the visibility expands beyond your own sites visitation. Isn't that what "viral marketing" is all about?

As a small business owner...you may be saying to yourself, "What is all this social media and how am I going to find time to keep posting the same information out to all these venues?" The Local Crow is the hub of managing your network of published information.
