What did Bob & Berts need?

border-icon

Bob & Berts already has a strong brand presence across Northern Ireland. As part of working with Rapid, the aim is to increase brand awareness within England and Scotland as they continue to grow and open stores in these areas. Through digital marketing strategy and assistance, our aim is to capture the attention of new customers across the three regions and beyond.

As the Bob & Berts brand continues to grow, the team wanted to refine their digital presence in line with business growth and store expansion. The focus was on enhancing the customer experience through digital interactions with their brand. As well as this, we focused on creating a website navigation that drives footfall.

Further to this, Bob & Berts wanted to improve the overall digital experience for their customer. This bridged the gap between the customer’s experience across social media and digital channels with their in-store experience.

Web Design & Development

As part of refining their digital presence, Rapid worked with Bob & Berts to update their brand identity. Their updated brand identity rolled out across digital channels. This includes the design and development of a new website.

In line with their brand growth, a key function of their refreshed website was to drive footfall to local stores. This makes it as easy as possible for all potential customers through integrating location searches within the website. The website uses GPS to locate nearby stores for website uses and providing direction to get there.

Graphic design support further to campaign management includes developing the digital brand identity and creating a consistent digital and in-store experience for all customers. This includes consideration of how social media links with in-store screens.

Our Paid Social Media Management with Bob & Berts focuses on supporting underperforming stores. The aim is to increase both brand awareness and engagement and most importantly, to drive footfall to these stores. 

Our Paid Social Media Management strategy is tied to the Bob & Berts email marketing strategy. Developed by Rapid this strategy, drives sign ups to the brand newsletter and collects relevant data. As a result, we can support campaign goals and nurture relationships with customers.
