We provided our first customer attraction support targeted at interior shops as a new service under Ashinami for retail stores.
We conducted our first customer attraction support for an interior shop.
As a result, by combining ad operations, Instagram marketing, and MEO measures centered around a monthly budget of 30,000 yen with efforts to host community-based interior events, we generated a 170% year-on-year increase in customer attraction.
This case study is an initiative that proved an integrated customer attraction model leading to store visits and purchases by utilizing real-life touchpoints in the local community to enhance awareness and authority, in addition to SNS and search optimization.
[1. Background: Customer Attraction Challenges in Local Interior Shops]
The targeted interior shop was facing the following challenges:
- Difficulty differentiating themselves from large stores and e-commerce competitors.
- Operating SNS, but it was not leading to store visits.
- Weak inbound traffic from Google searches and maps.
- Although they had awareness within the local community, it did not lead to being the first choice.
- They had an impression of being a "store with good taste," but the reasons to choose them were not fully conveyed.
To address these challenges, BOTANICO introduced an integrated customer attraction design combining three elements: "SNS", "Search", and "Local Contact", rather than relying on a single measure.
[2. Measure Overview: Integrated Customer Attraction Design of Instagram x MEO x Local Events]
In this project, we designed multiple touchpoints leading up to store visits and consultations, constructing a customer attraction model that linked online and offline activities.
The main initiatives were as follows:
■ ① Instagram Measures
- Publishing lifestyle proposal-type content rather than just product introductions.
- Sharing space coordination and styling examples.
- Expanding awareness using Reels.
- Operation design to convey the store's worldview and staff perspectives.
Visualizing the "reason to buy at this store".
■ ② Advertising Measures (30,000 yen/month)
- Expanding awareness among local targets.
- Reaching prospective store visitors.
- Ad operations linked to Instagram posts.
Reaching the "unaware demographic".
■ ③ MEO Measures
- Optimizing the Google Business Profile.
- Organizing photos and post content.
- Improving pathways for reviews.
- Designing information to match search intent.
Creating a state where they are chosen by "people searching right now".
■ ④ Hosting Community-Based Events
- Conducting local events hosted by the interior shop.
- Planning designs to create triggers for store visits.
- Creating touchpoints with local residents.
- Creating brand experiences through events.
Elevating from "awareness" to "trust and authority".
[3. Results: Achieved a 170% Year-on-Year Customer Attraction Outcome]
As a result of combining the above measures, the following outcomes were achieved:
- Operation budget: 30,000 yen per month.
- Customer attraction result: 170% compared to the previous year.
- Store visits and awareness expansion via Instagram.
- Increased inbound traffic via Google searches and maps.
- Increase in new store visits and consultations triggered by events.
In particular, the flow of "discovering on Instagram, verifying on Google, and visiting via the event" was born, functioning as a pathway that tied not just to mere awareness, but directly to purchases and consultations.
[4. Uniqueness: An Integrated Model of "Awareness x Authority" for Interior Shops]
The feature of this initiative lies in enhancing authority through local events, in addition to Instagram, MEO, and advertising.
While customer attraction for interior shops often ends with just SNS alone, ads alone, or search optimization alone, this model integrates the flow of:
- Conveying the worldview through SNS.
- Capturing high-intent visitors through MEO.
- Enhancing local trust and authority through events.
As a result, it has become a customer attraction model that realizes the transformation into a "store chosen by the community" rather than just mere "awareness expansion."
[5. Conclusion: Customer Attraction for Interior Shops Changes with "Worldview x Local Touchpoints"]
Through this initiative, BOTANICO has established a model that generates a 170% year-on-year customer attraction result by combining:
- Instagram (appealing to the worldview)
- Advertising (expanding awareness)
- MEO (store visit pathways)
- Local events (trust and authority)
Moving forward, we will expand this model to:
- Interior shops
- Furniture stores
- Lifestyle shops
- Community-based retail businesses.
