The term hyperlocal can be used as a noun in isolation or as a modifier of some other term (e.g. news). It connotes having the character of being oriented around a well defined, community scale area with a primary focus being directed towards the concerns of its residents. When used in isolation it refers to the emergent ecology of data (including textual content), aggregators, publication mechanism and user interactions and behaviors which center on a resident of a location and the business of being a resident."
Today, we have satellite, social networks, and mobile devices to reach out to local markets. Since people first began exchanging ideas, goods, and services, they have been using one form or another of hyperlocal marketing. The conspicuous rise of internet users, surge of payment options, a proliferation of geolocation aware devices and suitable demographics have paved the way for hyperlocal businesses. There is no telling where technology will take us in fifty years, but whatever new hi-tech developments and gadgets become available, you can be assured that everyone from teens to preachers to businesses will find new ways to get their message out to others. Hyperlocal marketing will be around long after the term itself, "hyperlocal," becomes old news. History has already proven that.
Hyperlocal describes as a very specific area, locally (in proximity) very close to home (or, your place of business.) Examples include the people in your office, local park, driving down the main street, and everyone else within walking or driving distance to a particular destination, or, that are united somehow into one identifiable community.
