Discover More Traffic Drivers
Use your marketing outreach and word of mouth tools to reach more of the same customers.
For example, if you’re already bringing in some of the people from your neighboring area – aim to reach more who haven’t tried you, or don’t know you’re there – by contacting them through direct outreach or word of mouth.
Create an offer or incentive for customers to stop in: a special offer with value added. Send a direct mail piece or build awareness via your customer eNewsletter and social media channels.
