The Challenge
'Our in-store team are fantastic at building valued, personal relationships with customers. we wanted to ensure we stayed connected to these customers' - Zoe, Henmores Marketing Team
Recognizing the importance of strengthening connections with our local customers, especially given the increasing interest in in-store shopping, Henmores' team has been actively exploring creative ways to showcase our products. Their goal was to build a deeper bond with local shoppers, ensuring they were aware of the diverse range of offerings available at the store.
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' - Zoe, Henmores Marketing Team
