From Underdog to Top Dog: How Hyperlocal Marketing Wants a Phoenix Sub Shop to Thrive
The Old Station Sub Shop Story: A Hyperlocal Marketing Triumph
In the heart of downtown Phoenix, a beloved sandwich shop called Old Station Sub Shop faced a daunting challenge. The once-bustling area had become increasingly affected by a growing homeless encampment, leading to a decline in foot traffic and sales. After 38 years, the original owner was ready to throw in the towel.
But a new owner, Bill Ellis, saw an opportunity. He purchased the shop and, instead of focusing on the challenges, he set his sights on the future. With a vision for revitalization and a savvy hyperlocal marketing strategy, Ellis turned the tide for Old Station Sub Shop.
Hyperlocal Marketing to the Rescue
Ellis recognized that the key to the shop's success lay within the community itself. He embraced local marketing tactics, tailoring his message to resonate with the people who lived and worked nearby.
Here are some of the strategies he employed:
Community Engagement: Ellis actively participated in local events, sponsoring neighborhood initiatives and getting to know his customers on a personal level. This fostered a sense of goodwill and loyalty within the community.
Targeted Messaging: He focused his marketing efforts on the surrounding neighborhoods, using social media and local directories to reach potential customers who were most likely to visit the shop.
Partnering with Local Businesses: Ellis collaborated with other businesses in the area, cross-promoting each other's services and creating a sense of unity among local establishments.
Byrd: The Secret Ingredient to Old Station's Success
While Ellis implemented various hyperlocal marketing tactics, one tool could have played a pivotal role in his success: Byrd.
Byrd's innovative mobile billboard advertising platform would have allowed Ellis to turn everyday vehicles into eye-catching advertisements for Old Station Sub Shop. Local drivers displayed the shop's logo and message on their cars, creating a constant stream of brand awareness throughout the community.
This highly visible and targeted approach can proved to be incredibly effective. Customers will notice the car magnets and will be reminded of their favorite sub shop, leading to increased foot traffic and sales.
