Retail and boutique shops
Retail marketing that brings people through the door
Shoppers check the map before they drive over: are you open, do you carry it, is it worth the trip? MarketPup keeps those answers on your profiles and gives regulars reasons to come back.
In short: For retail and boutique shops, MarketPup keeps your hours, stock highlights and reviews right on maps, and gives regulars reasons to come back. The usual fit is the Fetch plan at $699 a month, month to month, after a free Mini Sniff. MarketPup is based in Charlotte, NC and works with businesses across the United States.
How shoppers choose a local store
Local shoppers search for a product or a type of shop, then check hours, photos and reviews. Many want to know before they leave home whether you carry what they need. Gift seasons, sales and in-store events give people a reason to visit, as long as they hear about them in time.
What we'd fix first
- Hours and holiday hours kept the same on Google, Apple and Bing maps and Yelp, especially before busy seasons.
- What you carry. Your main categories and brands named on your profile and site, the way shoppers search for them.
- Store photos of your shelves, window and new arrivals, added weekly from the photos you send.
- Events and sales posts on your profile, so people searching nearby see them.
Ongoing work that suits shops
- Social posts showing new stock and events, 12 a month on 2 platforms.
- A monthly newsletter to shoppers who signed up at the counter or online.
- Review cards at the register with a one-tap link.
- Local ads on Google Maps, Facebook or Instagram before big weekends and holidays.
