Local Community Markets is a marketing service dedicated to helping local farmer’s market vendors and artisans grow their businesses. We bridge the gap between you and your community by providing direct exposure to thousands of nearby residents, driving new customer acquisition, and fueling repeat sales.
Our services are designed specifically for local farmer’s market vendors and artisans in Texas. If you are passionate about your products and dedicated to building a loyal customer base in your community, we are here to help you connect with the audience that matters most.
While social media is valuable, it often misses the thousands of potential customers who aren’t online or don’t follow local pages. We take a multi-channel approach. By combining a professionally designed community magazine (digital and print) with targeted direct mail, we place your brand directly into the hands and homes of your neighbors, making you unmissable and cutting through the digital clutter.
We are proudly based in Texas and are currently serving the Krugerville and Melissa areas. We are rapidly expanding to new markets across the state that have at least one established farmer’s market and a strong residential community, but we are capable of serving anyone within the United States.
We’re excited to partner with you! The first step is to reach out to us through our contact form or by clicking any of the “Get Featured” buttons on our site. We’ll then schedule a brief consultation to learn about your business, your goals, and how we can best showcase your products to the community.
It’s simple! To create your feature, we’ll typically need your business logo, a few high-quality photos of your products or stall, and a short description of your business and what makes you special. Don’t worry if you’re not a marketing expert—our team is here to help you craft a compelling story.
You receive a comprehensive marketing campaign designed for maximum local impact. This includes a feature in our community magazine (which is delivered as a digital “bookshelf” and via direct mail), direct exposure in thousands of local homes, and a dedicated partner committed to helping you grow your customer base.
We don’t just send mail randomly. We use targeted data to identify and mail to specific residential postal routes in the immediate vicinity of your farmer’s market. This ensures our magazine—and your feature—lands in the homes of the people most likely to become your next loyal customers, eliminating waste and maximizing your return on investment.
Our pricing is designed to be accessible for vendors of all sizes. Costs can vary depending on the market, the scale of the campaign, and the feature size you choose. For a detailed and customized quote with no obligation, please contact us directly.
We believe in flexibility. We offer various options, from a feature in a single campaign to seasonal packages for year-round visibility. Our goal is to provide a solution that fits your business’s budget and growth strategy without locking you into a restrictive long-term contract.
Absolutely! We were created to help businesses just like yours. Whether you’re a seasoned vendor or preparing for your first market day, our mission is to provide the exposure you need to grow. As long as you are a vendor at one of our local partner markets, we would love to talk to you.
Success is measured by the increase in new, local customers visiting your stall. We encourage featured vendors to track their results by asking new customers how they heard about them. Many of our partners report customers coming in with the magazine in hand, a significant increase in foot traffic, and a noticeable rise in repeat sales following a campaign.
