The Challenge
'Our in-store team are fantastic at building valued, personal relationships with customers. During the pandemic, we wanted to ensure we stayed connected to these customers' - Zoe, Henmores Marketing Team
Due to lockdown restrictions, Henmores regrettably had to close their doors to walk-in customers. With shoppers unable to come into the store, the team were looking for a way to showcase their products now hidden on their shelves.
The Solution
NearSt connected to Henmores' point-of-sale system, taking a live feed of their in-store products and showing them in Google. When shoppers search for products stocked by Henmores, their product now appears at the top of the results page. The shopper can click through to arrange purchase or free delivery.
The Results
'NearSt has really helped us zoom in on local demand and given us a way to stay connected to local shoppers during lockdown' - Zoe, Henmores Marketing Team
In just 4-weeks of lockdown, Henmores' products were shown to over 82,000 shoppers searching for them nearby! With no additional effort, NearSt has enabled Henmores to easily reach and continue to serve local shoppers so they can focus their efforts on preparing to hit the ground running once they reopen.
