Since you can see old-school media has the power to drive up sales and increase in-store traffic, it’s time to take a dynamic new approach to generate even more growth. This starts by using old-school media to drive your customer to your new-school sites, such as Facebook and Websites.
By doing this you will:
- Drive your customers to your Website where they can browse you entire inventory and even shop online
- Capture email subscribers, names and phone numbers
- Offer online only coupons and incentives to drive customers directly into your store
- Get more bang for your buck by utilizing fewer resources, like a Website and Facebook
How can I use new media to improve sales at the retail level? There are two simple steps:
- Use a concise message and direct call to action to drive customers to your online store
- Utilize analytics and other tracking tools to gauge the effectiveness of your online campaign, which in turn will allow for accountability and adaptation to occur.
Although driving customers to your Website and tracking them seems simple enough, there are three pitfalls to avoid:
- Don’t rely solely on newspaper inserts. Currently, there are numerous resources available that allow you to reach a targeted audience for a smaller price than the newspaper.
- Your Website or social media campaign must offer a tangible benefit to the consumer. Online traffic alone can’t justify the cost of a Website. You must offer the customer something in return to drive them into your store and generate a transaction.
- Your message must be unique and stand out from all other messages in your marketplace.
