Catalyst (Rochester, New York) Introduces Faster, Easier Version of CatalystLSM™, the CRM Platform for Franchisers and Independent Retailers to Manage Multichannel Market
Rochester, New York (PRWEB) September 17, 2015 -- Catalyst, a Rochester, New York-based marketing agency, has introduced version 4.0 of CatalystLSM™, a local store marketing platform for franchises and independent retailers to seamlessly manage their marketing communications at the local level. The Web-based platform lets franchisers and franchisees execute customized, local multi-channel marketing programs while maintaining corporate control. The CRM platform supports direct mail, email, SMS text messaging, Web store pages, push notifications and mobile app integration, search, in-store promotions, and social media.
According to Mike Osborn, Catalyst’s managing director, CatalystLSM version 4.0 offers franchises and independent retailers “flexibility with control” – the ability to control brand messaging, creative and offers at the corporate marketing level, while allowing local customization by individual franchisees. The platform utilizes templates that integrate data from transactional POS systems, customer and prospect lists, loyalty programs, and third-party providers.
“The platform is proven to increase customer visits, customer spend and customer loyalty,” he said. “For one leading automotive services brand, its retention programs have driven an incremental increase in store traffic of over eight percent. For another automotive services brand, it has delivered a 320% ROI.
“The platform is built upon five integrated components: data input; database and CRM; a marketing automation system; a dashboard-based portal;; and, analysis and reporting tools,” Osborn added. “It’s scalable, secure and can be customized to virtually any retail or franchise operation.
“It all adds up to a highly customized, more relevant customer experience, increased retail marketing success, and a competitive edge,” Osborn said.
