As of this moment, the Pokémon Go craze has taken over the world! This new app turns a brisk walk through the neighborhood into a reality game that has everyone out and about! And you know that means? If you own a local business, it’s a good time to jump on the Pokemon Go marketing band wagon. This app can boost your sales as users walk around the city trying to catch Pokemon.
So to help your local businesses cash in on the Pokémon Go craze, here’s 4 things you have to do now to boost your sales using Pokémon Go.
Create a PokéStop Special
Locate the nearest PokéStop to your local business and promote PokéStop special. For example, if your cafe is a couple blocks away from a famous monument that also poses as a PokéStop, create a special that says, “After visiting the PokéStop near the Empire State Building on 5th Avenue, walk two blocks north and get ready for your next Pokémon Go adventure with a $2 Lemonade! ”
Post it on Social Media
Once you’ve created the PokéStop special, post it on your Social Media pages and don’t forget to tag it with PokéStop keywords such as #PokeMonSpecials #PokeStops.
Pay for Pokémon Lures
Paying for Pokémon Lures are worth it and they won’t burn a hole in your pocket because they only cost a few dollars. When you buy a Pokémon Lure for your business, the number of Pokémon increases and surround a PokéStop for 30 minutes. The more Pokémon you have popping up around your business, the more likely Pokémon players will visit your establishment.
Don’t forget to promote your Pokémon Lure on Social Media by telling your followers when and where you’re setting up camp and invite them to visit the area at the specified time and date!
Host a Pokémon Hunt
The opposite of purchasing a Pokémon Lure, is to start a Pokémon Go tour at your local business.
Here’s what you do: set up a time and date for and go for a Pokémon Go tour with a group of customers. It’s a great way to interact with them and at the end of the tour, give them your Pokémon special free!
