Local Internet Geek Reveals Plan To Boost San Antonio's Economy

SAN ANTONIO - May 4, 2015 - PRLog -- San Antonio's self-professed Internet Geek claims he has a can't-lose plan to revive the local economy - and he's hoping local business owners will hear him out.

According to Brian Gibbs, Director of Business Development for Focused Idea, the communities around the country who are surviving and even thriving during these rough economic times are the ones whose area businesses are embracing new technologies to advertise their products and services. He thinks it is high-time the businesses in San Antonio start doing the same.

“In our world today, where the internet allows us to connect and communicate instantly with people anytime, anywhere, on their laptops and iPhones, there's absolutely no reason why local businesses should be suffering,” Gibbs claims.

Gibbs believes that if local San Antonio stores, restaurants and professionals would learn how to advertise more effectively, less expensively and to a wider market using available online technologies, they would see an almost instant increase in customers and revenue.

“One of the main problems we have here in San Antonio is that most business owners don't realize how many people - even right here in town - search online before they decide which local businesses to spend their money with,” explains Gibbs. “If you and your business aren't visible and active online - you are absolutely missing out on customers.”

But if the thought of learning how to use all the latest online tools like Facebook, QR codes and video marketing sounds overwhelming, Gibbs says not to worry.

“As part of my plan to help our economy, I've had a complete set of videos produced showing local business owners how to use the internet to increase business - and I'm making these freely available to any business owners who'd like to watch them.”
