Are you usa based? If so you have a few more options.

But typically local online campaigns to drive footfall to a physical store offer a voucher only redeemable instore.

yes! usa based and ive tried that with my flyers and stuff that we have papered cars with and what not... but thats exactly wat im looking for is somethign to boost traffic to the store of if not that at least boost social media presence!

social media plays a big role in my shop, i went a week and didnt post really much at all and saw a drop off in sales... it was like if people didnt remember that we were here they didnt come here

I have done a lot of this sort of stuff on social media in the past. Can i ask what your store sells? It can massively impact on the campaigns you can run.

yeah sure its nothing that is a secret niche or whatever... its a tea shop... you may have heard fo the MLM Herbalife.. well its their products that we sell as individual drinks ready to drink... price points are at 7, 8, and 8.50 for 32 oz beverages and like i said they are super popular where i live... facebook dot com bayouviewnutrition and facebook dot com passchristiannutrition are my two pages for it
 
Ah ok... i have not worked with that niche, but have with bars and restaurants.

As you are on fb, the types of campaigns i ran were locally targeted lead ads.

The key is giving people a compelling reason to come instore.

We typically picked a low business day, lets say tuesday. Then ran lead gen offers say "2 for 1 tuesday" in store. Built up a mailing list and then ran various other promos via email.

yeah thats the general idea. we offer a $5 friday and a Teacher Tuesday deal... one of my stores does on average 800-1000 in retail sales daily but my second store barley manages 100 a day... so basically im kinda stuck to uing facebook? im not familiar with instagram or snapchat and how to build real networks... i can buy panels all day long but those guys in the UAE wont be coming to my tea shop in mississippi hahahaha
 
Well you need to locally target. So fb is best for that.

The key is employing some tricks so you dont have to keep paying fb and only spend your budget on acquiring new customers, remarketing to existing ones for free. Email lists were what we used and is still best if you only have an fb page.

We also built local websites so collected and ran mobile push notification campaigns. Plus some mobile proximity campaigns.

Thanks, but it is not neccessary. It is also against the terms of bhw. Besides i did nothing other than give you a few ideas. Implementing them is the hard part. :)

From what you said you had the offers already. The key is targeting your ad spend on acquiring new customers and then implement a low cost method of remarketing your offers to existing customers.
