The Distributed Marketing experts at SproutLoud can help.

Retail / Franchise

To compete and win in local markets, retail and franchise locations need to actively make it easier for customers to find them online. Yet many small-to-medium-business retailers and franchisees can’t afford a professional marketing agency. Retailers and franchisees need simple, easy-to-use Distributed Marketing solutions that don’t require instant mastery of digital marketing and social media — especially when they need to focus on sales, operations and payroll.

SproutLoud offers local retailers and franchisees an effective and easy way to replicate national or global branding while finding the right balance for customization on local websites, microsites, landing pages and digital marketing campaigns.

End Users Going Rogue

Is it easier for end users to run their own campaigns? For many retailers/franchisees, dealing with complex brand guidelines means taking time away from customers. SproutLoud’s Distributed Marketing software solution makes marketing as simple as point-and-click, with rules-based automation that makes it faster and more cost-effective to get even more campaigns to market.

End Users Not Participating in Campaigns

SproutLoud delivers solutions with measurable results. Our programs historically see more than 70% end user engagement in the programs we run on behalf of retail or franchise companies. SproutLoud takes a data-driven approach, showing end users how they are doing in local markets. We provide digital scorecards, custom marketing plans and a Marketing Concierge™ to do the heavy lifting for them.

Lack of Analytics

With SproutLoud’s Distributed Marketing software, all local campaign execution occurs in a controlled, measurable environment. This allows brands to invest in what works and improve efficiency in marketing spend.

No Connection between National and Local Campaigns

It’s crucial to connect national campaigns to local advertising with CTAs specific to local retailers /franchisees. SproutLoud uses rules-based automation, so only current ads are available to end users, and messages are clear at the local level.

Too Many Customization Requests from End Users

Retail or franchise companies that use manual processes to customize advertising for local end users typically face serious challenges with brand compliance. SproutLoud creates dynamic templates that are pre-set with brand-compliant options, which retailers/franchisees can easily use to customize local ads. No need for email requests, ad agencies, nor lengthy approval processes.

Brands — who sell through independent retailers, franchisees and other types of resellers — rely on leading distributed marketing software solutions to help them execute local marketing and win in local markets.
