there, what tools can achieve the results and

4. 2) Keep Your Brand Standards
You want to make sure your local strategy
keeps the brand integrity throughout your
efforts. To do this ensure you have a central
branding point for whatever platform you use.
This ensures customers know your brand and
can recognize it quickly as they are passing
by your local area. Keeping your brand
integrity is also about simplifying your
marketing efforts. There is no need to
complicate things with different logos and
distracting out of date Facebook pages.
Ensure your local stores follow a company
wide policy which includes standards for
tweeting, posting, and updating public
profiles.
Tips To Ensure Brand Standards
❖ One logo for mobile, social, and other
marketing materials
❖ Keep social profiles synced to latest
logo
❖ Provide resources for local stores to
implement and use, which is in line
with your branding guidelines
❖ Always be posting under one main
brand profile
❖ Single one-page do’s and don'ts of your
company’s branding guidelines

5. 3) Keep Your Distribution Centrally Located
Keeping your channels centrally managed
will drastically minimize your required
efforts to keep up with posting and
updating content. This will make it easy
to update indexable locators, which will
reduce the overall number of errors found
on public profiles and information around
the web for your storefronts. Additionally
keeping content updated ensures
seamless mobile discovery. Your website,
and corresponding mobile site should also
be managed by someone within the
company. This can be accomplished
through a CMS like Sapphire.
Caution
❖ If you are posting centrally, ensure
your offer or content is optimized for
a national scale
❖ Don’t post something nationally, if it
is meant to be posted locally

to meet all your objectives, you need to consider the
solution that will make it possible, beyond the basics to
get information out there about your locations. While
there are many tools out there to make your business
available in a hyperlocal market, your solution should take
into account your website, your inventory, and some sort
of hyperlocal distribution for the messages and your
inventory. Using a platform that supports in store pickup
is very convenient for the customers with 67% of online
shoppers making multi-channel purchases in the past 6
months, and only 7% of them were extremely satisfied
that the brand provided a seamless customer service
experience across channels. It’s extremely important to
get this right, and the customer will know if you get it
wrong as 89% of consumers in the US stopped doing
business with a company due to a poor customer service
experience. Avoid these errors and simplify the process to
make your customers happy, invest in an omnichannel
hyperlocal solution.
