Full-Service Opportunities

IGA Social just scratches the surface of what AR Marketing can do for the independent retailer. We act as an extension of your team and relieve bandwidth to ensure your store’s offerings are known within the communities you serve.

Here is AR’s 6-Cycle Process to Successful ROI:

  • We audit your current print circular distribution to find savings based on our foot traffic analytics software.

  • Based on the circular audit results, our team works directly with print distributors to optimize distribution territories & quantities.

  • We create an omni-channel messaging strategy to increase overall store awareness and customer engagement (you’ll see more on this below).

  • Our team will optimize campaigns and provide meaningful insights to improve advertising efforts.

  • Drive customers to the end goal of your campaign, whether it be foot traffic or increased basket size.

  • We consolidate monthly reports with KPI’s, from views to store visits, and ultimately maximize ROI.

Additional Services

AR takes content directly from your weekly circular and disseminates to the most relevant potential customers and loyal shoppers. We meet them where they are; surfing the web, scrolling through social, or streaming their favorite TV shows. All the following services include a dedicated manager who leads campaign strategies and implementation, a talented graphic designer to build out custom artwork that suites your brand, and robust monthly reporting with strategic insights.
