So I\u2019m all about local and local presence management<\/a>, but today I\u2019m going to take a different \u201clocal approach.\u201d We\u2019re going to dive into how to convert customers that visit a local business into online fans and, eventually, brand ambassadors. Why would you want this? Because the more a customer sees a business name, the more they think about it and build up loyalty to the business.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible to improve a business\u2019s local presence online using offline marketing tactics. Creative business owners who support their online presence by increasing engagement through in-store initiatives can motivate local customers to follow them on social media, check-in on Facebook, write reviews, and share branded content online.<\/p>\n

Four In-Store Marketing Strategies to Boost a Business\u2019s\u00a0Local Presence Online<\/h2>\n

1. Get Local Shoppers Watching for Online Promotions<\/h3>\n

When consumers decide to visit your store, it\u2019s safe to assume they\u2019re already interested in your products and brand \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t guarantee that they\u2019re following your social channels or engaging with your brand online. Local customers who aren\u2019t following your business on social media can be encouraged to do so by sales associates who tell them about the frequent promotions and discount codes announced online. Once they\u2019re engaged online, getting local customers back into the store more often will come easy.<\/p>\n

2. Incentivize On-the-Spot Engagement<\/h3>\n

Generate online activity by asking in-store customers or patrons to check-in on Facebook. Since almost everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket with on-the-go access to their social media accounts, it\u2019s easy for customers to connect on the spot, like your Page, and check-in to your establishment. Offer a worthwhile bonus to those that show proof of their check-in. It could be something as simple as a free dessert or an extra 10% off a sales item. Be sure the business has free Wi-Fi so there is no excuse not<\/em> to do it.<\/p>\n

3. Easy-to-Read Instructions on Leaving Reviews<\/h3>\n

Happy customers are more likely to write online reviews for businesses<\/a> that make it easy to do so. Whether there are cards with simple step-by-step instructions near the checkout or customer service reps that explain the process to customers, this is an easy way to boost a local business\u2019s online reputation and placement in search. Another option is to include a link to review sites on the sales receipts (either physical or digital).<\/p>\n

4. Host a Themed In-Store Event<\/h3>\n

Not only does a limited-time sale or special event create the interest and urgency needed to draw more consumers into a local business<\/a>, it can also help with online visibility. For instance, local businesses can inject some extra life into their seasonal sales by having greeters in character to welcome guests at the door on weekends. Another idea is to have a daily drawing for in-store shoppers. (Remember Kmart\u2019s bluelight special!)<\/em> Don\u2019t forget to harness the energy from the event to boost the business\u2019s social media presence. Take it a step further and get customers to share selfies with their purchase and a specific hashtag online. Of course, you\u2019ll want to turn this into a drawing, where the winners will be announced on Facebook – and they\u2019ll have to follow to see if they won.<\/p>\n

Apply these tips and keep customers coming back locally every time!<\/strong><\/p>\n
