PRESS RELEASE: Michael J. Larkin of Local Partnership Joint Market Solutions Declared Finalist In West Hartford’s Alignable Main Street Mentors Search 

Larkin Is One Of The Top Contenders Remaining In West Hartford’s Competition That Ends On August 24

BOSTON, MA: August 4, 2021 -- The largest online referral network for small businesses, Alignable.com is announcing the local finalists in its North American search for  business leaders who’ve gone above and beyond to help peers and their communities with their economic recovery.


Today, Alignable’s network is honoring Michael J. Larkin of Local Partnership Joint Market Solutions as one of the finalists in West Hardtford’s Main Street Mentors Search. Larkin is also a contender for one of two national Main Street Mentor prizes: lifetime Premium Alignable memberships, valued at nearly $11,000 each.  

Nearly 50,000 small business owners voted and provided testimonials for their local business superstars. This is the first year Alignable has hosted the Main Street contest and the outpouring of gratitude for the finalists has been remarkable -- at peak times, 50 votes landed every minute. 

The final round of voting starts today. Winners will be announced by early September.


Inspiring Everyone To Band Together

“Thousands of local recoveries across North America are happening at vastly different rates,” said Eric Groves, Alignable’s Co-Founder and CEO. “But there’s one common denominator in communities reaping rewards now: business mentors like our contest superstars are inspiring their peers to come together and move the small business economy forward.”


“West Hartford’s business community means a great deal to me and I’m delighted I’ve been able to help other businesses recover. In West Hartford and Newington, we’re all here for each other, despite our obstacles,” said Larkin. “I am thrilled to be a finalist and very grateful for the support I’ve received. And while we all want to win, it’s most important for us to keep fighting for our communities until they rebound fully, no matter how long that takes.”


Local contest winners will receive Main Street Mentor badges on their Alignable profiles, recognizing their contributions. In past years, the awareness generated through contests like this one has helped drive additional connections, prospects, and new business for many winners.


Reinforcing Our Superstars’ Efforts

“While recognizing business leaders driving prosperity is always important, it’s vital to our current recovery that we reinforce our finalists’ grassroots efforts now,” said Alignable’s Co-Founder and President Venkat Krishnamurthy.  “Several didn’t realize how much their peers appreciated what they’ve done for their communities, until they saw so many testimonials emerge from the contest, encouraging them to keep up the good work.”

Unlocking Small Business Growth: Addressing the Marketing Leadership Gap

Update Understanding the Leadership Deficit in Small Business Marketing Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the plethora of marketing strategies available for small businesses? With responsibilities ranging from content creation to search engine optimization, it's easy to assume that all you need is to throw effort into the marketing mix to see results. Yet, many small business owners discover that despite their hard work, their marketing efforts often yield minimal impact. So, what is the underlying issue? After three decades of immersing myself in the small business marketing world, I can say that the overarching problem is not merely a lack of tactics; it’s a significant leadership gap. This gap leaves countless small business owners floundering, unsure of their next steps or how to strategically align their marketing efforts. What is Marketing Leadership as a Service? Introducing Marketing Leadership as a Service (MLaaS) — a transformative approach to marketing that provides essential strategic guidance for small businesses. By leveraging MLaaS, businesses are empowered to bridge the chasm between effort and measurable results. It’s not just about executing tactics; it’s about having a clear vision and leadership to steer those efforts effectively. MLaaS introduces fractional Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) who can drive strategy without the full-time commitment. This means small businesses gain access to top-notch marketing talent that's tailored to their needs and budgets, allowing them to refine their strategies and better connect with their customers. The Evolution of Small Business Marketing As we move further into an increasingly digital landscape, the paradigms of small business marketing continue to evolve. Gone are the days when word of mouth sufficed. Today’s market necessitates a comprehensive approach—one that integrates digital advertising, content marketing, social media engagement, and data analytics. Small businesses must adapt or risk being left behind. Understanding new tools and trends is crucial for success, and leveraging innovative solutions is imperative to resonate with target audiences effectively. Crafting a Valuable Proposition for Your Ideal Customers Identifying your ideal customer is vital. By developing a clear, compelling value proposition, you can meet your audience’s needs while distinguishing yourself from the competition. MLaaS aids in sculpting these propositions, aligning your business offerings with what matters most to your audience. Regularly engaging with customers can significantly enhance this process. Utilizing social media platforms, email outreach, and various digital channels fosters a direct line of communication, enabling businesses to gather insights that inform their marketing strategies. Turning Challenges into Opportunities While the marketing landscape can be daunting, small business owners are presented with unique opportunities to innovate and reach new heights. Utilizing data analysis and digital marketing trends, firms can pivot their strategies quickly in response to market demands. By embracing change and emphasizing flexibility, small business owners can navigate challenges while unlocking the full potential of their marketing efforts. Leveraging tools like AI and big data can yield invaluable insights that drive strategic decisions, turning potential obstacles into stepping stones towards growth. Your Path Towards Effective Marketing Leadership Big-picture thinking is necessary for driving meaningful change in marketing approaches. Small business owners should focus on strategic planning, assessing their market positions, and implementing actionable insights derived from data analysis. Marketing Leadership as a Service equips business owners with the knowledge and leadership necessary to lay a solid foundation for growth. With proper leadership, it is entirely possible to transform your marketing strategies from merely a list of tasks to an effective growth mechanism.
