As proponents of big data and business intelligence keep making the headlines, it’s all too easy to forget that forward-thinking companies have been singing the praises of data-driven decision making for quite some time. Canadian-based company Storetraffic pioneered people counting systems decades ago, educating retailers big and small on the value of customer traffic information to grow business and optimize strategies.
With a host of companies following in their wake—including startups and established brands—the retail traffic experts at Storetraffic actively reexamined their business strategies. As it leveraged its experience to move forward with a renewed game plan, Storetraffic turned to Zerda Digital to transform its online presence and implement an overarching marketing strategy.
Remaining competitive is one thing. Responding to the tangible threat of rival companies while simultaneously rebooting your product offering, targeting new markets, increasing brand awareness, and creating a whole new website, that’s another. Storetraffic knew it had to work on critical areas to consolidate its position; this was not a “kill two birds with one stone” type of undertaking.
The process required an appreciation for Storetraffic’s vision and its industry. A keen sequencing of tactics was also necessary to capitalize on each marketing initiative, with respect to budget and business targets. The importance of this action plan was made greater still by Storetraffic’s disappointing past experiences. Once burned, twice as shy; moving forward with strategic recommendations, we were also tasked with reinstating the added value of working with a professional marketing team.
