New York Metro Market Sales DirectorGrowing Your New York City Small Business on a Budget with Incentive Marketing
New York City is the world's leading hub for small businesses in industries like bars and restaurants, coffee shops, hair salons, fitness studios, boutique clothing stores, and more. However, these industries are highly competitive, making it difficult for small business owners to stand out. Many entrepreneurs rely on traditional marketing strategies like social media and word-of-mouth, but very few take advantage of giveaways / sweepstakes, contests, and incentive marketing to grow their customer base and drive foot traffic. This is where CliquePrize®, a mobile lead generation app, comes in.
Location Matters
Yes your location matters but so does the location of your customers. If you run a promotion and anyone can enter from outside the local area, you are essentially wasting time and resources. CliquePrize® is local by design. We do our best to ensure every Contestant is vetted and local. We map each market to the nearest metro area within a 30 mile radius.
How CliquePrize® Uses Secure Localization Technology
CliquePrize® is built on the highly secure Microsoft Azure Cloud, ensuring the protection of Contestant and Sponsor data. The app leverages Apple Location Services in order to verify that only local New York, NY Contestants can enter your giveaways / sweepstakes, video contests, and other digital promotions. This technology also prevents fraud, ensuring that your digital promotions reach real, local customers who can actually visit your business and have a valid mobile number on a major US wireless carrier such as Verizon, AT&T and TMobile.
Turning a Marketing List into Sales & Foot Traffic
Running a digital promotion isn't about giving away free prizes. Its about generating a local marketing list. The prize is the incentive and the handshake is the Contestant's permission to receive marketing communication from you - the Sponsor. With CliquePrize®, you can capture upper funnel marketing leads through digital promotions. The benefits include:
- Collecting High-Intent Leads — Every Contestant who enters a giveaway has a genuine interest in your product or service
- Engaging Contestants Through SMS & Email — Reach out with exclusive offers, appointment reminders, and new promotions
- Creating Urgency with Time-Sensitive Offers — Use limited-time discounts or VIP event invitations to bring people into your store
- Increasing Repeat Visits — Reward customers with exclusive loyalty giveaways or referral-based incentives
What's the ROI? You spend $29 up front and $1 per record (first name, last name, email, mobile and zip) and never pay for the same record twice. If you capture 100 leads, you will have a local marketing list for roughly $130. Divide that by your average order value. Suppose its $15. It would only take 9 orders to break even. Remember, you still have the list and can market to these prospects until they opt-out. The odds say you will not only break-even but easily see a positive ROI in a short period of time.
