TapClicks Helps Hi-Per Solve One of the Biggest Challenges They Face as a Digital Marketing Agency

CASE STUDY

Executive Summary

Laura Radewald and Melissa Telsrow, started Hi-Per 3 years ago to help multi-unit organizations with hyperlocal marketing. At Hi-Per, they work efficiently to gain control of the entire social/mobile footprint for clients, and activate it to launch hyperlocal marketing campaigns optimized for each location.

In other words, they use smart technology to bring all the pathways customers could potentially use to find a local business, update all the information for every franchise, and then bring all marketing outlets under centralized control. Once this cleanup process is completed, Hi-Per intro- duces affordable local marketing campaigns that drive key business metrics.

You might say the business name "Hi-Per" speaks directly to the results: they drive Hi-Performance customer and sales growth, at a price that nearly any multi-unit organization can afford.

The team at Hi-Per has been using TapClicks from the beginning. With customizable dashboards, they can present all metrics (business, website, social, etc.) in one place. This helps their clients better understand the attribution and results of all of marketing efforts.

The Challenge

The hyperlocal marketing business is nuanced in that Hi-Per works with large franchise organizations (e.g. restaurant chains) that grow through hundreds of franchises. Each franchisee is a separate business owner and the franchise owner has relegated a little bit of control to the franchisees.

One main challenge for Hi-Per lies in the fact that franchisees often don't understand local marketing. This is evidenced by the fact that they haven't claimed their Google page, haven't posted on social media in years, and don't have centralized control of their local brand. Furthermore, franchisees will often make market-ing mistakes by throwing money at local marketing efforts without understanding that they are driving people into a leaky funnel.

Hi-Per solves this problem by cleaning up all the local marketing of franchises by helping them claim their Google pages and set up their local social media pages in the right way. Then, they give franchisers centralized control and empower them with the right messaging and marketing tools for franchisees.

While the team at Hi-Per can easily organize the marketing efforts of franchisors and franchisees, so they are reaching the right market at the right time, without TapClicks, reporting would be a mess.

In fact, when Hi-Per first started, reporting was a mess. They were using a company that manually extracted data and sent reports 30-45 days after the fact. Laura from Hi-Per explains that, "franchisees are skeptical in general and if you give them a report 30-45 days later, they don't even care. Reports need to be real-time and Hi-Per needed to show that because we had data at our fingertips at all times, we could optimize their campaigns appropriately at all times."

Hi-Per found TapClicks 1 month after they started business and uses TapClicks faithfully to this day.

Highlights of TapClicks as Reported By Hi-Per

Tapclicks helps with storytelling."Most live brands are laser focused on brand metrics from the national level (e.g. brand ads, brand listing, etc.). They often feel like they can't get there at the local level, so KPIs are usually specific to brand stuff. We show them what an asset it is to roll out data from ALL locations and then go hyperlocal. Tapclicks is a mechanism for telling the story to customers, and shows the client that you are driving business at the hyperlocal level." - Laura Radewald, Hi-Per CEO

TapClicks helps with data management across all networks.

"TapClicks helps us show local data management across 300 networks for each individual location, so their online companies are accurate and consistent to local websites. - Laura Radewald, Hi-Per CEO

TapClicks uses dashboards to show how marketing budgets are being spent."We aren't an SEO team, but franchisees put money into SEO and don't have idea of what they are doing or where their money is going. We present this information in a dashboard that explains and shows, in specific terms, how SEO works. Then, customers can see that if you do everything right in social/mobile ecosystem, you'll rank." - Laura Radewald, Hi-Per CEO

TapClicks allows us to pull important franchise data from old, yet relevant, systems."We can pull data from an old ERP system and present it in a new, easy-to-understand, chapter report. Each chapter can see their own key metrics in the report. TapClicks helps us integrate data from older databases and present it in a new and informative way." - Laura Radewald, Hi-Per CEO

There is no 30-45 day data lag with TapClicks. "Before finding TapClicks, there would be a 30-45 day lag in the reporting other companies could provide to us because they created the reports manually. By that time, the data weren't actionable. We found TapClicks the month after we went into business. With TapClicks, we were building out dashboards that have unique metrics that offered real-time reporting. We knew this technol- ogy was vital for making our program work. - Laura Radewald, Hi-Per CEO
