Retailer-Exclusive Landing Pages

Overview

Retailer-exclusive landing pages allow you to showcase and leverage the credibility major retail partnerships bring your brand. Your retail partners will appreciate you having a highly converting tool that drives in-store traffic.

You have the ability to filter down your store locator to only display select retail partners. You can create as many instances of the store locator as you'd like. This allows you to provide targeted experiences for different channels & partners.

When to Use This Feature

  • Retail launches: Create dedicated pages for major retail launches. Example: Blueland x Target.

  • Channel separation: Optionally separate your channels. Example : BushBalm x Ulta vs BushBalm Studio Locator.

  • Marketing campaigns: Direct traffic to a specific retailer within marketing campaigns. Example: Lalo x Target saw over 4,000 locator visits within hours of launching.

  • User experience: Help customers find stores in their preferred retail channel.

    • You can select multiple retailers for combined pages

  5. Save your changes

Step 4: Verify Your Results

Pro Tips

  • Template Management: Always duplicate your original page first, then make retailer-specific changes within each individual template. This keeps your main store locator unchanged.

  • Naming Convention: Use clear, descriptive names for your pages and templates (e.g., "Walmart Store Locator", "Independent Retailers") to stay organized.

  • Testing: Preview each retailer-exclusive page before publishing to ensure the correct stores are displaying.
