Keep in mind that Cidewalk promotions are best used to increase awareness of and interest for your business. As people become more and more familiar with your brand, they’ll eventually become more likely to click on your promotions and take advantage of your offer. This is why we encourage using our monthly plans to increase awareness and interest in the towns of your choice – after all, when have you ever purchased a product the very first time you heard about it? According to the rule of effective frequency, people generally need to hear about a product at least three times before they make a decision to purchase your product. Don’t expect your customers to be any different!
