In this episode of Local Market Monopoly, Clarence Fisher sits down with Jenna Harkreader, founder of The Ready Ads, to explore how she's rethinking the way consumers discover local businesses.
Jenna shares how years of experience in advertising helped her identify a major gap in the traditional marketing funnel. While businesses invest heavily in creating awareness, consumers often can't find those businesses when they're finally ready to buy. She explains how The Ready Ads was built to bridge that gap by giving consumers a private, searchable platform to find local businesses, products, and services exactly when they need them.
Clarence and Jenna also discuss the importance of innovation, taking calculated risks, protecting consumer privacy, and why entrepreneurs should challenge the status quo when solving real-world problems.
Listen now to discover how connecting your marketing with the buying stage of the customer journey can help your business attract more ready-to-buy customers.
