Santa Cruz County
Scotts Valley, California Marketing
Small Santa Cruz Mountains city on Highway 17 with a business park hosting tech firms and a bedroom link to Silicon Valley. In a market where trust is built face to face, the initial discovery still happens online, and the businesses that dominate that discovery step have room to charge full price. The service area for most Scotts Valley businesses reaches into Santa Cruz and Los Gatos, so the marketing plan has to think about the whole footprint.
