Behind Mastercard Digital Doors
So what exactly is Mastercard's Digital Doors?
Our friends at Mastercard recognize having a strong digital presence is more important than ever and launched Digital Doors in 2020 to help small business owners get their business online, protected, and equipped with digital and financial tools in order to grow.
Essentially, Mastercard Digital Doors is an initiative that empowers local businesses to succeed in today’s digital economy. By providing a range of resources, Mastercard helps businesses of all sizes connect, learn, and grow effectively.
Partnering with us at Nextdoor, this program now has a valuable new addition: enabling businesses to establish hyperlocal connections in their own neighborhoods.
Our team added new marketing resources, advertising tools, and offers to the Digital Doors Marketing Hub you can access now on Mastercard’s site. And, one of my favorite things, we’ve created a Nextdoor-branded template on Ad Designer - a fast way to create designed social media ads, banners, and other related content for your business's digitals ads and marketing.
The importance of local connections and Nextdoor’s role
When a community gets involved, it can significantly impact the growth of a local business. And Nextdoor plays a crucial role in fostering local connections between small businesses and their neighbors.
We even found data that supports this; over 94% of Nextdoor neighbors value recommendations on the platform, and 72% are influenced by them to purchase or use a product. Integrating with Mastercard Digital Doors strengthens that bond a business has with their community, encouraging localized, trusted, and community-powered growth.
At Nextdoor, we're always excited when small businesses and entrepreneurs join our network. Although word-of-mouth is a highly effective marketing strategy, it's only the start. Engaging actively within your community, crafting content that unites people, and amplifying marketing with tech companies like Nextdoor and Mastercard provide can propel the growth of your business while strengthening the trust and support within your community.
