      It’s always refreshing when a business you’ve been doing business with for some time starts doing something new using new technologies. And thanks to the power of social media, doing something new or different and doing it well can quickly go viral.

      It could be as simple as offering a new type of discount (it may sound obvious, but offering something of value at a discount for a limited period of time can be attention-grabbing) or letting customers know about a new product or service you’ve added.

      A straight-out sale is always a great way to bring old customers out of the woodwork and get new ones at the door. Send out an email or e-newsletter or a text message to your contact database and post it on social media to expand visibility and reach.

      Nowadays consumers are more inclined to use the Internet and Social Media to gather information before they make a purchase.

      Leverage the power of social media networks and create content that will resonant with your audience.

      Adopting new technology allows retailers to empower employees and customers with information, while also leveraging it to transform the shopping experience so that it is easy and fun. Gather consumer data to predict purchase patterns and deliver relevant content.

      Another way would be to target existing Social followers on your social networks with content that increases in-store purchases.

New Thinking

It used to be that marketing strategy concentrated on sales. You would get the attention of people, tell them about your products and services and then drive them to action.

The thinking was that the more people you put in the front, the more would come out the back. Whilst this strategy was sound in the past, now things have changed.

Today putting up an attention grabbing TV promo and consumers will still not come to your shop but instead go to the internet. Their activity will have a data trail which your competitors will use to retarget your potential customers with competing messages before a purchase event can occur.

In the digital age, marketers must change their focus from grabbing attention to holding attention.
