On a Mission to Digitally Amplify Word-of-Mouth
Locorum's believes word-of-mouth marketing is the best available acquisition strategy for service companies. Our vision is to make it easy for companies to capture, manage and scale referrals using state of the art digital solutions seamlessly melding together the online/offline experience.
Make offline referrals a scaleable marketing channel
Our founding team has all run service based businesses and we know the importance of word-of-mouth marketing in success. We recognized most businesses rely primarily on providing good service and hoping referrals organically happen. There had to be a better way to manage this acquisition channel.
Drawing on experience from e-commerce and enterprise tech marketing, we built Locorum to fill that gap.
