The Problem

Your Locations Are Leaving Revenue on the Table

Millions go into choosing the right new location. But once the doors open, franchisees are handed a marketing spend requirement and left to figure it out alone, no strategy, no attribution, and no idea what's working.

The result: Wasted budget, missed customers, and no way to know which dollars are actually driving revenue.

Wrong Audiences, Real Cost

Google Ads CPA rose 12% in the past year. Meta CPMs average $9.46 on Instagram. When you're targeting the wrong people, every impression is money burned, and the cost of getting it wrong is climbing fast.

Invisible Waste

A 50-location brand doing $1.5M AUV generates $2.25M in annual local marketing spend. Most of it is managed by franchisees or local agencies with zero visibility into what's actually working.

The Attribution Black Hole

63% of marketing leaders face increased CFO scrutiny on ROI. But most teams report impressions and clicks because they literally can't connect spend to sales. You're making budget decisions blind.

The Tension Nobody Talks About

Franchisees contribute 2–7% of gross sales to marketing funds. They want to see proof their specific store is benefiting, not the national average. When they can't, trust erodes, renewals stall, and development agreements slow down.

We give franchisors a store-level marketing solution that franchisees can actually see working, turning a source of friction into a retention and recruitment tool.

What We Do

The Local Revenue Acceleration Program

A complete, location-level marketing system built on three interconnected capabilities working together as one integrated platform.

01

Behavioral Geo-Intelligence

We build audiences based on where people physically go, not just who they are. Geofencing around gyms, schools, competitors, commuter corridors, and retail hubs creates location-first intelligence no standard ad platform can replicate.

Example: Store A targets gym-goers within 2 miles. Store B targets families near schools. Store C reaches downtown commuters. Every location gets its own audience.
02

Store-Level Campaign Deployment

Every location gets its own campaign, managed entirely by us. Individual targeting, individual creative, individual budgets. Campaigns run across mobile display, OTT/CTV, Meta, and programmatic, all coordinated per store.

Channels: Mobile and display ads triggered by geofence entry, sequenced Meta/Instagram retargeting, OTT commercials on streaming platforms, and in-house creative, all frequency controlled.
03

Revenue Attribution via POS

We integrate directly with your POS to deliver store-level attribution for every campaign. Revenue lift tracked per location, item-level performance measured against historical baselines, and promotional insights that reveal what's working, where, and why.

What you see: Ad impression → store visit → item purchased → revenue generated. Not clicks. Not impressions. Actual transactions at the register.

The Closed Loop No One Else Has

Geofencing, paid social, and POS data are individually useful. When combined into a single attribution loop, they become something no competitor offers: a system that traces every marketing dollar from campaign to register at the individual store level.

Why Only Us

Every Platform Knows Who People Are.
We Know Where They Are.

We connect every campaign directly to your POS. It's the difference between believing your marketing works and knowing it does.

Ask your current agency to show you ROAS tied to POS data, per location. That's the conversation.

POS Attribution

Campaign → Store → Item → Revenue. The only closed-loop attribution in franchise local marketing. Categorically different from any competitor.

Behavioral Intelligence, Not Just Geofencing

We target based on what people do, gym visits, competitor trips, commute patterns, not just where they happen to be. Orders of magnitude more effective.

Full-Stack, In-House Execution

OTT, display, Meta, paid search, and creative, all managed under one roof. No vendor juggling. No creative delays. One team, one system, every channel.

What You Get

From First Impression to Verified Transaction

Every campaign moves your customer through a complete journey, from the moment they enter your trade area to the moment they pay at the register. All frequency-controlled, all tracked.

Capture Attention

Reach People Already in Your World

When a high-value consumer enters a geofenced location, your competitor, a nearby gym, a retail corridor, they start seeing your brand across their devices within hours. Not random impressions. Intentional reach.

Build Recognition

Stay Top of Mind at Home

Commercials delivered to home TVs via streaming platforms like Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN, targeted to your specific trade area, not a zip code. Your brand follows them from their phone to their living room.

Drive Action

Convert Awareness into Visits

People who entered your geofences see sequenced retargeting in their social feeds with conversion-focused creative. By the time they're ready to choose, your brand is the one they remember.

Prove It

Know Exactly What Worked

Every step is tied back to the register through POS integration. You don't wonder if the campaign worked, you see the revenue it generated, by store, by item, by dollar.

Case Study

From 90-Day Pilot to National Growth Partner

Healthy Fast Casual, Acai & Smoothie Bowl Concept

The Challenge

A fast-growing healthy fast casual brand was expanding rapidly into unfamiliar markets. They needed to acquire customers at the local level from day one and connect every marketing dollar to actual register outcomes, not just impressions.

They started with a 90-day pilot across 5 locations to start before rolling out across the whole footprint. The goal was simple: prove the model before scaling, or walk away.

The Result

The pilot delivered 3–4x ROAS and 35+ verified new customers per location per month for three consecutive months. One new location that launched with VCS from day one became one of the brand's highest-performing stores.

The brand then expanded VCS across their entire footprint. VCS is now their national growth partner as the company scales.

The Math That Matters

At a conservative $300 annual value per new customer, just 35 new customers a month adds up to over $126,000 in annual revenue per location.
