Merchant Marketing Packet

Thank you for being a merchant at Grove Arcade. This packet is from DOLO DIGITAL, the marketing company hired by Dewey Property Advisors to oversee the marketing strategy and execution for Grove Arcade.

Section 01: Introduction

Our mission is to bring in visitors to the Grove Arcade to spend time and money at your shops, as well as engage customers to share those experiences online to help us continue to grow the Grove Arcade brand as well as the merchant brands. With that in mind, we work to collaborate with each Merchant to support your efforts, amplify your voice, and expand our brands’ reach. This packet was designed to on-board and prepare you and/or your marketing team to best collaborate and utilize the resources we are supplying for you. It should be articulated clearly that we work together with merchants as collaborators or partners for a shared goal, and that Grove Arcade is our client. However, we are here to be a resource to create better success in marketing merchant businesses. In the next section, we will describe what marketing services we are hired to provide for the property.
