Go Salem Local is a shared vision of those who believe the success of local businesses is the key to a healthy community. That success brings with it a community that is sustainable and inclusive of all citizens, a downtown that is clean and appealing, storefronts that invite customers, neighborhoods that show pride of ownership, whether by resident ownership or rental ownership.

Although the core of most communities and cities is the downtown area, a successful community is one in which outlying business districts are as appealing as the downtown. Local business thrive only with a strong customer base.

Go Salem Local was conceived as a means for businesses and organizations to advertise their services and products in an effective, affordable, and "so today" manner.

It has been predicted by industry analysts that over the next five years, Internet video advertising will be the fastest growing segment of the online marketing industry, expanding sevenfold to more than $3.5 billion by 2012.

This strong projected market growth is predicated on brand advertisers shifting their advertising investments from traditional broadcast budgets to the emerging medium of Internet video.

Go Salem Local is a subsidiary of Web Video Productions LLC, and exists solely to produce low-cost video productions for Salem business owners and organizations to increase the visibility and success of those entities.

Go Salem Local and Web Video Productions LLC are locally owned and operated by longtime Salem residents Jane Reeder and Allen Taylor, both of whom have extensive experience with video production. Jane also has over a decade of experience designing websites.
