MainStroll: Digitally Advancing Our Access to Main Street in the wake of COVID-19

Strategy

Introduction

There’s a predicted $355 billion drop in tourism spending to the US due to the Coronavirus and according to a national poll, 60% of our Main Street businesses had zero online sales component and for those who did, it only represented 0-25% of their overall revenue. So while giant retailers such as Amazon and Walmart continue to have their biggest quarters yet, revenue on Main Street has decreased by more than 75%. As the virus continues to surge in the US and consumers avoid shopping and spending in-store, this issue only grows. How can we provide the digital infrastructure to support our Main Street communities and brick-and-mortar businesses as if we were there, touring in-person?

MainStroll is a shopping aggregator and informational site designed to digitally advance the way we explore, shop, and access our Main Street communities across the country. Our platform develops virtual “Strolls” designed after your real-life Main Street and serves as a fully interactive resource and search engine.

How I Generated $17M+ in Leads for Shreve, Crump & Low

While working on a wide range of creative and marketing projects for Shreve, Crump & Low, a well-established luxury retailer in Boston and New England, I identified a major area of improvement that could help the company generate more revenue: their product lead strategy.
