Local media research firm BIA/Kelsey?s most recent Local Commerce Monitor study showed a major jump in the average number of different media used by small and medium-sized businesses for local advertising and promotion?from 3.1 in 2009 to 4.6 in 2010?driven in large part by digital media.

Digging deeper into the LCM data, the marketing behaviors of newer businesses and younger business owners is strikingly different from more well established and older business owners. BIA/Kelsey says younger businesses are a leading indicator of where the SMB media and marketing world is headed ? more digital, more engagement, more use of digital tools and cloud-based applications.

Within this in mind, BIA/Kelsey is hosting a conference next month focused on the latest tools and technologies for small business marketing.
