The Mankato audience on social
43% of Mankato residents are 18 to 34, well above Minnesota's 22%. That is the age group that finds businesses on social rather than searching for them, so here social does the discovering.
8% of Mankato's workers work from home, which spreads social use across the working day rather than concentrating it at lunch and evenings.
Most of Mankato is a single ZIP code, 56001, with 20,350 households. ZIP targeting alone cannot split the city, so a Mankato plan is drawn by radius or neighbourhood instead.

Why social media marketing works here
Mankato's 45,473 residents are served by an economy built on higher education, healthcare, agriculture and regional retail. A healthcare workforce keeps hours a nine-to-five media plan does not account for, which changes when they are reachable and on what.
Mankato's younger population lives on social, and it is the one channel where a local business gets discovered rather than searched for. In a city of 45,473 with higher education, healthcare, agriculture and regional retail, discovery is most of the opportunity.
