Local businesses in the modern age have a lot of things they struggle with.  Big corporations like Starbucks love buying or pushing out small coffee shops, and with all the money the larger companies further solidify their branding and relevance to the customers.  

One of the major places local companies can have trouble making a splash is the social media landscape.  Enter Alignable, the startup social media platform for local businesses, which helps those businesses connect and work together to get more momentum.  An example is a communal news feed that allows one business to mutually promote their sales and events with another.  

According to Alignable’s CEO Eric Groves, the service is currently being used by tens of thousands of communities in all 50 states.  If you are part of a small, local company, take a look at Alignable and you might find a whole new avenue to success.
