Retail and independent shops

Digital marketing for independent shops and retailers.

Independent shops compete with online giants and big chains on convenience, but they win on character, expertise and service. Digital marketing should show exactly that, and give people a reason to visit or order.

The challenge

What usually gets in the way

  • Footfall

    Getting people through the door, not just following online.

  • Competing with online retailers

    Customers browsing locally and buying elsewhere.

  • Showing new stock

    New arrivals that nobody knows about.

Our approach

What we'd do

  • New-in posts

    Regular posts showing new stock and what's popular.

  • Local visibility

    Google profile and local search so nearby shoppers find you.

  • Email to loyal customers

    Seasonal ranges, events and offers.

  • Local ads at key moments

    Christmas, back to school and seasonal peaks.
