The Challenge
A local guitar store in Chennai needed to establish a stronger digital presence and compete with larger retailers. They had limited content production resources and needed content that resonated with the local guitar community while showcasing their inventory.
The Strategy
We developed a store-led content system that combined product storytelling with retention-first Reels. The strategy focused on showcasing instruments in action, featuring local musicians, and creating educational content that positioned the store as a trusted local authority.
Our Approach
- Store-led content featuring staff demonstrating products
- Product storytelling that highlighted unique features and value
- Retention-first Reels with hooks designed to stop the scroll
- Local community engagement through musician features
- Educational content about guitar care and maintenance
Results
- 243% follower growth in 3 months (7K → 24K)
- Major growth in local brand presence and recognition
- Increased foot traffic to physical store
- Higher engagement rates on product showcase content
- Established as go-to destination for Chennai guitar community
Key Takeaway
Local stores can compete effectively by focusing on community connection and authentic product storytelling rather than trying to match larger retailers' production budgets.
