Companies with a branch network face various challenges in local marketing. One difficulty, for example, is presenting a uniform brand image while at the same time addressing the different needs of the local target groups of each individual branch. It can also be a challenge to allocate marketing resources ideally to the various locations and to ensure smooth communication between the marketing headquarters and the stores. From our work with a number of chain stores, we were able to identify the most common challenges in store marketing:
One difficulty is ensuring that the brand image and core messages are consistently present across all your stores, while leaving room for individual charm and customization for local target groups. It is your job to ensure that all stores reflect the brand identity consistently. Checking the individual marketing measures of your sales partners for compliance with the corporate design can be quite time-consuming.
Which marketing activities are currently being carried out in which of your branches? With a large network of different branches, it is not easy to keep track of the individual marketing activities of the sales partners. Also, the more locations are added, the more difficult it becomes to evaluate the individual partner activities and check their efficiency. However, the evaluation at branch level is of great importance in order to understand and optimize the effectiveness of the local marketing strategy.
The optimal allocation of budgets, time and resources to the branches is not easy. Only through precise planning and coordination can the growth and development of each branch be promoted in the best possible way and the overall goals of the company be pursued. By ensuring clear communication between the marketing headquarters and the sales partners in the branches, you can ensure that resources are distributed according to the goals and individual needs of the branches.
In today's world of marketing, it is essential to constantly try out new marketing strategies and to be present on as many marketing channels as possible in order to address different target groups. The combination of offline and online marketing strategies represents a continuous challenge in store marketing, as the sales partners in the stores often first have to be motivated and trained for new cross-media marketing measures in order to carry out the marketing activities as effectively as possible.
If the above store marketing challenges sound familiar to you, you've probably already spent a lot of time and money optimizing your individual marketing channels to better support your stores and locations in local marketing. Perhaps you have even spent a lot of money on agency support? You have probably realized that this has only made your branch marketing more complicated and inefficient and that your sales partners are still dependent on your support.
