As the name suggests, in-store marketing is promotion
performed within a brick and mortar
store. You use techniques such as product displays, merchandising, media
advertising, product sampling and coupon giveaway to attract customers and enhance
sales.
That being said, there isn’t a
guarantee that these in-store efforts will bear fruit in the form of ROI generation.
To make a mark, you will have to revamp your in-store marketing strategy!
Following are some ways you can
increase ROI and achieve all set goals for your store.
1.
Store
Placement
This is important for planning a
successful in-store marketing event. Determine the area that provides the
highest foot traffic. Set your sampling or demo table in that area so that more
customers can be targeted with the least effort.
2.
Offer
Incentives
What’s the main goal of your
in-store marketing event?
To increase customer engagement
and turning target audience into potential customers!
An easy way of achieving this is
by offering incentives (free product samples, promotional items, and/or
coupons) to customers. Perfume samples are an excellent example of this strategy.
3.
Promote
Sale Items
Advertising your store’s latest
promotional or sale items in a ‘one day only’ newspaper will help attract
people to your store. However, traffic won’t increase much. Placing an in-store
marketing display with details on the latest price of sale items will not only
make the lower prices visible to the customer, but also encourage impulse
buying decisions.
4.
Provide
More Information
You want your customers to know
the operational process and standards of manufactured items. This will be done
by in-store displays, signs, and your employees. Highlight your featured
merchandise by providing all necessary information about product to customers.
This will increase chances of your
customers getting influenced by provided information (about a product) and
buying the product.
5.
Hire
Brand Ambassadors
To make your brand more human, you can hire brand
ambassadors to market your products and take care of all in-store marketing
efforts.
Human interaction is important as
it brings a personal touch to any marketing effort.
An effective brand ambassador is
one who will attract customers to your store and products. They are your
store’s first line of offense (in terms of marketing) as customers will head
towards them for queries about displayed product or other information.
In-store advertising may be the most effective marketing strategy. Yet, you must determine proper placement of racks, cubes, mannequins, signage as well as placement of the right face for your in-store marketing for even better results! Hire the right event staffing and brand ambassadors from PUSH Agency and see the difference.
