Storelocal® Voluntary Brand Program
Storelocal exists to solve independent owners’ problems, and we’re taking the solution to a new level with the voluntary Storelocal Brand Program. Providing economies of scale and online visibility, the Storelocal Brand Program enables independent owners to focus on what really matters: converting leads to rentals, running your business, and finding your next deal.
Let’s start with Storelocal.com. It brings all branded properties on one website and builds the domain authority Google requires so independent owners are consistently visible online. One, two, ten stores can’t do that, but together, by the scores and hundreds, Storelocal.com can. The law of large numbers makes us visible on Google.
Storelocal Brand Program also gives you Operations in a Box. Here’s what’s in the box:
- Digital Marketing
- Hummingbird Property Management Software
- Storelocal Protection, an excellent stream of revenue because 70% of each protection plan sold is retained by the store as profit
- Storelocal Messaging
- Merchant Processing @ interchange + .05% + $.05, representing significant savings
- Supplier Portal on our Brand Member Website
- Best Practices Facility Operations Manual
- Training & Support
- Customer Loyalty Program
- Tenant Interface
- Digital Signage
- Citation & Reputation Management
- Storelocal Trademark, Brand Standards and much more
In other words, we took a page from the REITs’ playbook: we are creating our own eco-system by building our infrastructure and brand – enabling owners to retain their assets, increase their profit, and remain independent. The voluntary Storelocal Brand Program gives owners the online visibility and buying power of a REIT while remaining independent.
With the Storelocal Brand Program, owners:
- Remain independent, and profitable
- Gain economies of scale
- Will be found online
- Are considered relevant in the eyes of your customers, providing a repeatable, amazing customer experience
- Are recognized by consumers as their 1st choice
...in the highly profitable and personally rewarding experience of beating the REITs that are trying to put us out of business, and tech companies that are eating further into your profits.
