Marketing for independent retail stores
Boutiques, gift shops, specialty food, garden centers, pet stores, hardware and more. Shoppers check online whether you carry something and whether you're open before they drive over.
How can a local retail store bring in more shoppers?
Shoppers check whether a store is open, what it carries and whether it is worth the trip. Independent retailers do well with accurate hours and products on Google, local Facebook and Instagram ads around events and seasons, regular posts, and an email or text list for new arrivals and sales.
What brings shoppers into a local store?
Every business is different, so we start by looking at yours. These are the areas that tend to matter most for retail.
- Products online
- Products and categories on your Business Profile, and a website that shows what you stock.
- Foot traffic
- Facebook and Instagram ads for new arrivals, events and seasonal sales aimed at nearby shoppers.
- Repeat customers
- Email and text lists built at the register, with offers that don't train people to wait for discounts.
- Holiday hours
- Listings updated before every holiday so nobody drives to a closed door.
