How Strategic Advertising Can Help Your Retail Business

Strategic advertising solutions can help your retail business achieve several key goals. These are some of the main benefits of retail marketing.

Increase Brand Awareness
Advertising promotes your business, its sales, and its products to consumers. Through advertising, potential customers can understand your offerings and how your brand differs from your competitors. If the advertising is effective, it should create interest in your brand that can increase retail and sales.

Boost Traffic
The best retail store advertising engages consumers to learn more about your business. They’ll want to visit your website or one of your physical stores to view your products and hopefully make a purchase. When they do, you’ll see an uptick in online and foot traffic.

Increase Sales
When advertising makes consumers aware of your retail business and inspires them to visit its website or store, or both, they’re more likely to make purchases. While results vary depending on the campaign, retail sector, and location, a successful store advertising campaign can significantly boost sales.

Seize Seasonal Marketing Opportunities

Seasonal marketing reflects holidays and events that consumers may look forward to. Effective seasonal advertisements celebrate the occasion with relevant images, colors, and marketing messages. Seasonal marketing can often encourage people to shop with your business when they're already considering making purchases. You might drive conversion with seasonal store advertising during the holiday season or even on events like back-to-school, Mother's Day, or Father's Day.

Other seasonal advertising opportunities can help you capitalize on your shoppers' enthusiasm for upcoming holidays and increase brand awareness and traffic. For example, you might consider running advertisements that tie in with the start of any new season, Earth Day, Memorial Day, or Labor Day.

You can take your seasonal marketing to the next level with promotions that tie in to your campaigns. For example:

Offering discounts or free gifts to select groups, such as teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day or people who visit your store in costume on Halloween
Launching prank ads for obviously fake products on April Fool's Day
Running instore events to tie in with the holiday coming up
Selling relevant product bundles, like chocolate and flowers for Valentine's Day
Decorating your stores to match your seasonal campaigns
Creating gift guides that promote relevant products from your stores to inspire shoppers
Offering in-store gift wrapping ahead of special holidays

Focus on Driving Traffic to Your Business

While all marketing aims to drive traffic, advertising that promotes reasons to visit your stores or website can be especially effective. Some strategies that encourage people to visit your stores include:

Free samples or gifts with purchase
Celebrity in-store appearances
Events that are relevant to your retail sector, such as fashion parades for clothing boutiques or DIY workshops for hardware stores
In-app deals or discounts redeemable in store
In-store exclusive products or sales
Photo opportunities that encourage people to visit stores and share their images on social media

Some strategies that encourage people to shop online include:

Integrate Digital and Audio Marketing

Digital and audio platforms are some of the most engaging and credible advertising options. While they’re powerful on their own, integrating them in a multi-channel marketing strategy can make your campaign even stronger.

Digital advertising reaches people when they’re interacting with screens, while audio advertising connects with them when they put their devices down, such as when they’re driving or working out. When consumers interact with your ads across multiple platforms, they’re more likely to remember and act on them.
