Introduction
Measuring the success of local marketing campaigns can be challenging, especially when bridging the gap between online engagement and offline conversions. Many businesses struggle to attribute sales, store visits or phone inquiries to specific marketing efforts, leading to incomplete data and missed optimization opportunities.
Tracking local campaign ROI requires a combination of digital analytics, offline attribution and real-time adjustments. GearBox® by IRIS Strategic Marketing Support (IRIS) helps businesses integrate tracking tools, consolidate performance data and optimize campaigns based on local insights.
In this blog, we will explore key strategies for accurately measuring local marketing performance, ensuring every campaign delivers measurable results.

Attribution is essential for understanding which marketing efforts drive conversions. Businesses can improve local campaign tracking by implementing:
Click-to-Brick Metrics
Track how online interactions, such as website visits and social media engagement, lead to in-store visits and purchases.
Call Tracking
Use unique phone numbers for different campaigns to measure lead generation from specific ads or promotions.
Coupon Codes
Assign location-specific or campaign-specific promo codes to link in-store sales directly to marketing efforts.

A unified reporting system allows businesses to connect multiple data points and gain a comprehensive view of campaign performance. Key features of integrated dashboards include:
Online and Offline Data Consolidation
Merge digital metrics with in-store sales, call data and foot traffic insights for a complete performance overview.
