Hyperlocal Marketing: A Game-Changer for Multi-Unit Businesses

Marketing for franchises and multi-unit businesses is more competitive and complex than it’s ever been. Fortunately, hyperlocal marketing is how you cut through the noise to provide solutions directly to your target audience.

Did you know at least 76% of people searching for a service or product nearby will visit a business within a day? Hyperlocal marketing’s power lies in providing convenience right when a customer is ready to make a decision. If you’ve been frustrated with a decline in foot traffic or wondering how to attract new customers to specific locations, you’re in the right place.

What makes hyperlocal marketing and hyperlocal advertising such a powerful tool? After you’re finished reading our guide, you’ll be on the path to sustained growth for your business. Higher foot traffic and more repeat customers has never been more achievable than with Triadex’s direct local marketing solutions.

Hyperlocal marketing takes local marketing to its next logical evolution. Instead of trying to reach customers within the same city or town, hyperlocal marketing tries to reach them in even more specific locations.

For example, a local marketing campaign for a multi-unit business may try to attract customers who live within Houston, Texas. A hyperlocal marketing campaign may try to find customers who live in or very close to the Skyline District or the Theater District. 

Through direct mailers, digital marketing, and geofencing marketing, you’re equipped to meet customers on their terms.

From restaurants to automotive to home services, the hyperlocal approach is proven to deliver results. The benefits of hyperlocal marketing and hyperlocal advertising for multi-unit businesses looks like: 

• Increased Foot Traffic: Hyperlocal marketing makes it easy for customers to find you since you reach them where they are. Once they see your message, they only have to travel a few blocks to enjoy your services.
• New Customer Acquisition: The more convenient your business is, the more likely customers will stick around. Improving your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) rate starts with hyperlocal marketing that puts your best foot forward.
• Higher Conversion Rates: Targeting relevant audiences in specific areas is a must-have for better ROI. Marketing campaigns that don’t target or segment properly lead to wasted effort and wasted marketing funds.

Without accurate data, you won’t be able to make informed decisions on when and where to promote your services. Hyperlocal marketing and advertising are best done with a mixture of state-of-the-art tools.

Leveraging data analytics will give you the tools needed to both identify and target high-value customer segments within specific areas. Specific tools you can start with include: 

• AI/ML to speed up the process of segmenting your customers 
• Geofencing marketing to automatically display ads to prospects entering a specific radius from your location
• Direct mail with an offer to incentivize prospects to visit your location
• Digital ad campaigns to build awareness or remind existing customers of new deals

Using customer data is critical for personalizing marketing efforts and making them more relevant to local audiences. This marketing effort looks like:

• Narrowing down who your best customers are (particularly repeat customers)
• Understanding what motivates your best customers to buy
• Finding other potential customers who look similar to your best customers
