The newly launched website, Thriving Oregon, aims to support local economies by offering an affordable digital marketing solution for small businesses in areas like Eugene, Springfield, and Harrisburg. When you are listed on Thriving Oregon, you will increase your visibility on both the local site, in email lists, and on Google.

Supporting the Survival of Local Businesses Matters

When a customer purchases from a local establishment, 68% stay in the community, whereas only 43% contribute to the local economy when a customer chooses to buy from a national company. Shopping locally also creates job opportunities and supports local initiatives.

With the launch of the new website, Thriving Oregon wants to combat the Walmart effect and make sure that local entrepreneurs get the exposure they need to stay competitive.

“Directories like Thriving Oregon maintain accurate and consistent business information—such as hours of operation, contact details, and customer reviews. This eliminates frustration for consumers and fosters trust. For example, someone looking for a new coffee shop in Eugene will feel more confident choosing a business with a complete profile and up-to-date information,” a company spokesperson explained.

Small Business Marketing Challenges

According to an article from Forbes, 73% of small business owners don’t feel confident about their marketing strategy. Lack of time and uncertainty about how to most efficiently communicate contributes to many procrastinating and putting their marketing efforts off. The marketing activities that small business owners shy away from the most are posting on social media (44%) and marketing planning and strategy (42%.)

Boost Your Local Google Rankings

You may be one of many small businesses that only have a Facebook page to market your services. While it’s better than nothing and an efficient tool for communicating with clients, Facebook pages don’t rank as well as a website.

When your business is mentioned on Thriving Oregon, Google’s algorithms will recognize it as linked by a reputable source, which boosts search engine results.

More Benefits of Thriving Oregon's Business Directory

Oregon consumers who find a business through a local directory like Thriving Oregon will also recognize it as connected to the local culture and values, having a positive effect on their trust.

If you choose a premium listing with Thriving Oregon, you get a variety of marketing services, including social media advertising, a press release, and featured listing placement. Thriving Oregon also has a daily newsletter for residents who want to stay updated on upcoming events and offers, as well as an email list for those who want to find out about current deals from 14 selected merchants.
