Local Marketing · Fountain Hills, AZ

Local marketing in Fountain Hills, timed to the fountain's calendar.

The fountain turns green for St. Patrick's Day, the art festivals fill Fountain Park in spring and fall, and Concours arrives in February. Each is a predictable week to be seen.

Fountain Hills publishes its own marketing calendar. Concours in the Hills arrives in February. The fountain has been dyed green for St. Patrick's Day every year since 1979. The Chamber's Fountain Festivals fill Fountain Park in spring and fall, and the Turkey Trot circles the lake on Thanksgiving morning. For restaurants, shops, and galleries, each brings extra people into town, most of them looking things up on their phones. Google Business Profile posts with event-week hours, a short campaign drawn tightly around the park, and social posts scheduled ahead cost little and catch that traffic.

The town's geography helps paid search. Ringed by mountains and tribal land, Fountain Hills is easy to target without paying for clicks from the whole East Valley. Draw the radius around the town and Rio Verde, exclude what you don't serve, and the budget goes further. The audience has money and attention. The median household income is $112,654 and the median home is worth $622,900, according to the Census Bureau. Many residents are retired or work from home, and in our experience they read email. A regular note to past customers, sent before part-year residents return in the fall, is one of the cheapest campaigns available, and it's what our email marketing service is for.

Campaign management runs from $575 a month depending on complexity, and the platforms bill ad spend to you directly. Festival dates are also natural anchors for social campaigns.

What local marketing has to get right in Fountain Hills

  • Profile posts and offers scheduled ahead of Concours, the Greening, and both Fountain Festivals.
  • An ad radius drawn around the town and Rio Verde, not the whole East Valley.
  • Email to past customers before part-year residents return in fall.
  • A review request after every job, with replies from the owner.
  • Call and form tracking, so each campaign's results are measured.

Local Marketing in Fountain Hills: questions we hear.

Should our restaurant run ads during Concours in the Hills?

Yes, briefly and narrowly. Target a small radius around Fountain Park for the weekend, make sure your hours and menu are current on Google, and say where to park. People already in town will choose somewhere to eat within a few minutes. Be the place that showed up.

Is email marketing worth it for a small Fountain Hills business?

For businesses with repeat customers, very much so. A short, useful message a few times a year, such as a seasonal reminder or a note that you're booking fall service, costs little and goes to people who already trust you. It is usually the cheapest marketing a small business has.

How tightly can we target ads to Fountain Hills?

Quite tightly, using the town itself or a radius around it, with neighboring areas excluded. The trade-off is volume: a small area means fewer impressions, so we watch the numbers and widen to Rio Verde or eastern Scottsdale only if you actually serve them.
