As Local Thunder® has demonstrated, partnering with media outlets around the country, if you build an Internet marketplace populated with local advertisers, they will come. And you don't need a big IT department to maintain your advertising site. We'll do it for you.

 
Local Thunder provides a fully scalable online marketplace featuring rich-content display ads, e-commerce capabilities, and e-marketing campaigns—fresh inventory for your sales force.

Your advertising site can be co-branded with your existing content site or we can create a whole new look and feel, with a name and brand image that makes a connection with your community.

The Local Thunder Web team can create your site from start to finish or work with your in-house staff or agency, providing support as needed. Either way, we can have you up and running in as little as eight weeks.

Your Internet shopping site will open up a whole new area of inventory to sell to existing and non-traditional advertisers. Discounted gift certificates add incremental revenue to your ad sales. Taking gift certificates in trade (monetizing them on your site) reduces the barrier to entry for advertisers on a budget, and gives you a way to reach out to those in the red.

All of it search engine optimized and supported by email marketing.
