Branding Brand, Yext Integration Helps Retailers Drive Traffic and Dollars to Stores

PITTSBURGH, June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Retailers no longer need to worry if their business information is accurate everywhere customers are looking. A new partnership between digital knowledge management provider, Yext, and retail app platform, Branding Brand, creates a single place for brand managers to update ever-changing information like store hours and locations.

"Shoppers are searching for their favorite brick-and-mortar stores closest to them," said Chris Mason, CEO of Branding Brand, the largest provider of retail mobile apps and sites. "Our partnership with Yext means that retailers can be confident knowing the right information about their store is accurately displayed and available to shoppers."

"Branding Brand's integration in the Yext App Directory gives enterprise retail brands with hundreds of stores one place to maintain and update their digital knowledge," said Marc Ferrentino, Chief Strategy Officer of Yext. "It makes sure retailer information is discoverable and in-sync across their mobile sites, apps, and the digital ecosystems, driving foot traffic and sales."

The pre-built integration is available in the Yext App Directory as "Branding Brand for Stores."

Accurate business hours and location information across branded sales channels has never been more important as retailers, like Kohl's and Walmart, redesign entire stores to make way for customers wanting to buy online and pick up in store (BOPIS) and take advantage of ship-to-store discounts.

According to Branding Brand client data, store locator views from smartphones have increased as much as 25% during Christmas week. A 2016 holiday shopping survey said 50% of shoppers planned to buy online and pick up in store more than the previous year.

"As brands decide to extend and reduce hours throughout the year, especially during the holidays for last-minute shoppers, they'll have one place to instantly update this information and trust it's displayed accurately for customers," said Mason.
