April 28, 2021

2020 was the most unpredictable year most retailers have ever seen. But one thing is for sure, after long months of successive lockdowns, closed shops and social distancing, customers are ready, willing and able to hit their favorite spots. And today, the wait is finally over! Starting this week, Belgium will begin easing coronavirus restrictions in a bid to go back to normal and kick-start recovery.

Use a store-centric strategy to increase visits across all your stores

April 26, 2021

Planning a national drive-to-store campaign should be done with a store-centric strategy in place to increase visits. Although bringing a national campaign with a store-centric strategy together might be a bit more complex, you already have all the knowledge you need from regional or local activities. You’ll just need to apply that perspective to a wider campaign to ensure that you maximize your performance per store, and you’ll be able to see a consistent uplift across all your points of sale.  These are the four key areas to include in your plan for an effective store-centric strategy: 1.

Why a stop-start approach to drive-to-store is hurting your brand

March 24, 2021

Drive-to-store (DTS) is still the new kid in the block and some brands are only now finding out about the benefits of focusing on business outcomes rather than media KPIs to determine the success of a campaign in the real world.  But if this isn’t your first rodeo, and you have made the shift towards measuring offline results using offline metrics (visits and footfall uplift), it may be time to shift to a long term DTS strategy as opposed to a stop-start approach where you always have to plan and optimize from scratch.  Now, when we’re talking about a long
