If you are a restaurant chain, a multi-site healthcare enterprise, a large omni-channel retailer, a large footprint entertainment complex, a unique franchised concept, a multi-unit wellness concept or anything similar, then you recognize that your multi-location marketing agency needs are unique and complex and very different from selling Coca Cola to a mass and ubiquitous national audience. Muti-location marketing means you likely are dealing with many of the following challenges:
- Omni-channel measurement complexities
- Need to have precise geo-fences and radius targeting
- Need to understand nuanced differences between urban and suburban markets
- Need to deal with logistics of all the unique permutations of price, promotion, local sales, unique local needs
- Need to be nimble enough to turn up budgets where needs are and dampen where there is less need. Never an hour to “set it and forget it”
- Need to deal with franchise needs
- Need overcome complex reporting
- Need to adapt to localized menus, product mixes, and assortments
