When this happens, first budget item to be cut tends to be the marketing spend. We would argue that it may make sense to cut out some of your traditional marketing deliverables, but not digital marketing.  [![](https://www.coombsmarketing.com/hubfs/Stock%20images/Local%20Marketing%20on%20Laptop%20Screen.%20Online%20Working%20Concept..jpeg)](https://www.coombsmarketing.com/coombs-content/local-advertising-what-is-it-and-why-do-you-need-it) # [Local Advertising; What is it and why do you need it?](https://www.coombsmarketing.com/coombs-content/local-advertising-what-is-it-and-why-do-you-need-it) by [Katie Coombs](https://www.coombsmarketing.com/coombs-content/author/katie-coombs) on February 25,2020 To target audiences that are close to the location of your business, you need a local marketing strategy. A business looking to use local influencers and regional assets to attract customers in local neighborhoods, would benefit from a fine-tuned local marketing plan.
