As a marketing consultant or a freelance expert for independent retail, you live and die by the results you deliver. Your clients, the passionate and time-poor owners of local shops and cafes, don't have marketing departments. They rely on you to be their strategic partner, their source of wisdom, and their secret weapon for growth.
But let's be frank. When it comes to customer loyalty, the weapons you've been given are mostly duds.
You're caught in a difficult position. You know your client needs to move beyond the paper stamp card. Yet, the digital alternatives are often a terrible fit. You can pitch a white-label app, knowing full well that 75% of consumers don't want to install another one. Or you can suggest a complex platform that you know your time-strapped client will never properly manage.
When these solutions inevitably fail to get traction, it reflects poorly on you. It's not just a failed project; it's a dent in the trust you've worked so hard to build.
What you need isn't just another tool to sell. You need a feather in your cap. You need something that makes you look smarter, more effective, and more strategically valuable to your clients.
Let meed help you become the go-to loyalty expert for local retail.
How meed Transforms Your Role from "Supplier" to "Strategist"
Meed was designed to solve the fundamental problems of loyalty, which means it's also designed to make you, the consultant, look brilliant. Here’s how partnering with us elevates your game:
1. You Demonstrate Instant, Tangible Value
Forget proposals that promise results in three months. With meed, you can walk into a client meeting and build their entire, customised loyalty programme right there and then. In the 60 seconds it takes, you've moved from talking about value to delivering it. This is a powerful demonstration of your effectiveness that no competitor can match.
2. You Elevate the Strategic Conversation
You can stop talking about the tech and start talking about the psychology. You can explain that the loyalty problem isn't about the business, it's about the consumer. You can introduce them to powerful concepts like network effects, where the coffee shop and the bookshop next door can collaborate to create more value for everyone. Meed does the technical heavy lifting; you provide the high-level strategic insight that proves your worth.
3. You Solve Problems, You Don't Create Them
Your clients worry about complexity and risk. With meed, you bring them simplicity.
No Tech Burden: The platform is entirely cloud-computed, requiring zero technical maintenance from your client.
No Data Risk: We provide powerful, anonymised behavioural data without ever exposing your client to the risks of handling personally identifiable information. You bring them insight without liability.
4. You Add a High-Value Service to Your Offering
You are no longer just the person who manages their social media or designs their menus. By introducing meed, you become their customer retention and loyalty specialist. This is a new, recurring revenue stream for you and a deeper, more "sticky" relationship with your client. You become an indispensable part of their business's core strategy.
