This Holiday Season, YP Arms Local Businesses with Insights on Consumer Shopping Habits

YP?, the leading local marketing solutions provider and publisher of yp.com and The Real Yellow Pages®, is offering local businesses the insights they need to understand why consumers shop the way they do and why they pick one business over another.

With technology revolutionizing the way consumers look for products and services, local businesses struggle to understand what motivates consumer behavior or The Why Before the Buy?. As part of its support of Small Business Saturday® on November 26th - a day dedicated to supporting local small businesses - YP is hosting a series of webcasts in the month of November.

The Why Before the Buy webcasts will bring together digital marketing experts to offer tips and best practices in building a rich online presence, search engine marketing and increasing brand awareness. The live series begins on November 2 and will also feature Google (News - Alert), Bing, Verve and Ramon Ray.

"With nearly half a milion advertiser clients and millions of users across the YP? app, yp.com and The Real Yellow Pages, YP is committed to arming businesses with the information they need to create valuable connections with today's consumers," said Allison Checchi, Chief Marketing Officer at YP. "The consumer journey is complex, but it doesn't have to remain a mystery for local business owners. By understanding the factors consumers consider before making a purchase, businesses can take advantage of opportunities to grow."
