The Challenge.
Despite offering high-quality plants and a truly unique shopping experience, Flower Tent Atlanta faced significant hurdles in expanding its brand awareness and achieving ambitious revenue goals across Georgia. Unlike established, recognized franchise locations in Pennsylvania, their brand recognition was considerably lower in their local operating region. Their strictly in-person, seasonal business model meant a limited sales window and a heavy reliance on consistent foot traffic.
Existing marketing efforts were inconsistent, their digital presence was weak – notably missing a dedicated landing page and optimized Google Business Profile – and their existing POS system did not effectively capture customer data, significantly hindering vital retention efforts. The ambitious goal for the 2024 season was to double revenue from $110K to $220K. This required a substantial increase in both customer transactions and average order value, alongside the critical task of building a loyal, repeat customer base.
TheSolution.
Our solution for Flower Tent Atlanta involved a phased, integrated marketing strategy specifically designed to address their core challenges: limited brand awareness, inconsistent marketing, and a weak digital presence. We focused intently on building a strong local digital footprint, enhancing customer engagement and retention, and driving essential in-store traffic during their crucial seasonal operation.
This encompassed developing a dedicated local landing page, meticulously optimizing for local search, implementing a robust CRM for efficient customer data collection and automated communication, and executing targeted digital advertising campaigns. Our performance-driven approach ensured a direct link to achieving their revenue targets and fostering long-term customer loyalty.
