Local governments employ more than 8 million people. One of the most important things to remember about marketing to local governments is just how different they can be from one another. For example, targeting a mailing to the City Manager in a major metropolitan area can have a totally different outcome from targeting the City Manager in a smaller rural area.
MCH understands the local government market and can help you navigate through issues like timing of mailings, funding sources, and a multitude of purchase influencers.
