Sound familiar?

Great products deserve consistent sales.

Most retail brands and franchise operators come to us after the same frustrations - inconsistent branding across locations, digital ad spend that doesn't translate to store traffic or online sales, and no unified system tying marketing effort to revenue.

The problem isn't your product or your concept. It's that the buyers who are ready to purchase can't find you - or aren't being given the right push to convert.

If your brand doesn't show up where shoppers are looking - on Google, social, and comparison sites - you're losing sales to competitors before the customer ever walks through your door.

of shoppers use multiple channels during their purchase journey

Today's consumer browses online, checks reviews, visits in-store, and orders online - sometimes in the same purchase. Brands that don't connect these touchpoints lose customers in the gaps.

FAQ

Common questions about retail and franchise marketing

Everything you need to know about our marketing approach for home builders.

How do retail brands drive more foot traffic and online sales?

The most effective approach combines Google Shopping campaigns and local SEO to capture purchase-intent searches, social media content that builds brand desire, and email/CRM campaigns that re-engage past customers. For franchise systems, consistent brand messaging across all locations is also critical.

How do you maintain brand consistency across multiple franchise locations?

We build a centralized content and campaign framework that ensures every location communicates with a consistent brand voice, visual identity, and promotional calendar - while still allowing for local market customization where it makes sense.

What is the difference between marketing for e-commerce vs. brick-and-mortar retail?

E-commerce marketing focuses heavily on conversion rate optimization, product feed management, and digital attribution. Brick-and-mortar adds local SEO, Google Business Profile management, and campaigns that drive physical foot traffic. Multi-location brands need both, integrated into one strategy.

How much should a retail brand spend on marketing?

Industry benchmarks typically put retail marketing spend at 5–10% of revenue. CodeSM's Marketing-as-a-Service model provides a full specialist team for a flat monthly retainer - giving you far more firepower than a single in-house hire at a comparable cost.

Can you work with franchise corporate teams and individual franchisees?

Absolutely. We work at both the corporate level (brand standards, national campaigns, marketing systems) and the franchisee level (local campaigns, location SEO, performance reporting). Our project hub gives both parties visibility into what's running and what's working.
