Nickelytics Partners With Serve Robotics And The Ad Council For A New Kind Of Advertising

Nickelytics

Interested in investing in Nickelytics Republic’s campaign? Click here to get started. No matter how old you are, you are likely familiar with Smokey Bear’s relentless fight to protect our national forests against wildfires. This year, the Smokey Bear campaign celebrated its 78th birthday, making it America’s longest-running public service announcement (PSA) campaign with the catchphrase “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.” Now more than ever, people need to help stop the spread of wildfires. Nickelytics announced recently that it is partnering with the autonomous delivery company Serve Robotics and the Advertising Council to deliver the longest-running PSA campaign to a new platform — delivery robots. Nickelytics is a hyperlocal out-of-home (OOH) advertising company that wants to revolutionize the OOH industry. The company is bringing OOH into the 21st century, and its partnership with Serve Robotics is just one part of its strategy. The Ad Council’s Smokey will be wrapped around Serve Robotics delivery robots in Los Angeles, increasing wildfire prevention awareness in a region frequently affected by blazes. Serve Robotics has developed level-four self-driving robots that have completed tens of thousands of deliveries across Los Angeles for Uber Eats and various other delivery platforms. This ad campaign will be promoted in highly visible areas of Los Angeles. "We are thrilled to partner with Serve Robotics to pioneer an exciting new form of out-of-home advertising," said Judah Longgrear, co-founder and CEO of Nickelytics. "Launching this campaign with Smokey Bear is a significant milestone for our team and only the beginning of our expansion in the Los Angeles market. We look forward to amplifying Smokey’s message and measuring the expected increase in campaign engagement using our real-time digital measurement capabilities." Ad Council Vice president of Emerging Media & Technology Laurie Keith said the organization is constantly strategizing innovative ways to reach people that complement or go beyond traditional media. With nearly 9 out of 10 wildfires nationally caused by humans, it’s important for everyone to do their part to prevent unwanted fires. "Our new partnership with Nickelytics will allow us to share Smokey Bear’s message on eye-catching delivery robots and share critical information in an unforgettable way," Keith said. Nickelytics’ proprietary technology and advertiser relationships made the company an ideal partner to help Serve Robotics bring out-of-home advertising to its growing autonomous delivery platform, Serve Robotics Chief Operations Officer Touraj Parang said. "We are delighted to increase public awareness of wildfire prevention while helping reduce emissions and traffic congestion in Los Angeles with our friendly sidewalk robots," Parang said. Serve Robotics and Nickelytics have entered into an ongoing partnership to offer advertising opportunities to companies. The major reason Nickelytics is distinguishing itself from other OOH advertising companies is that its platform uses GPS and cellphone location tracking. This component of its platform makes advertising more successful for clients, allowing companies to retarget with digital ads. Nickelytics is demonstrating its commitment to revolutionizing the OOH advertising space with this partnership. In addition to autonomous robots, the company is working to expand into the electric vehicle space. Nickelytics, a Techstars backed startup, is a platform that makes launching hyper-local out-of-home advertising as simple as posting online ads. Nickelytics brings together the physical presence of outdoor advertising with the power of digital technology for unbeatable results. Nickelytics leverages out-of-home advertisements through premium mobile assets, such as gig economy vehicles, autonomous delivery robots, e-scooters and electric vehicle charging networks to help marketers reach customers regardless of location. Mobillity asset owners also receive another stream of revenue by partnering with marketers. With the help of Nickelytics’ analytics, companies can better comprehend their return on ad spend thanks to Nickelytics’ sophisticated attribution and digital retargeting capabilities.

US Navy Veteran Todd Harmon Talks Shop and Shares Growth Strategies for Minuteman Press Franchise in Cincinnati

Minuteman Press International Inc

US Navy Veteran Todd Harmon is no stranger to owning his own business. Prior to joining the Minuteman Press franchise family in April 2018, Todd had previously owned other small businesses and franchises. His Minuteman Press design, marketing, and printing center is located in the Kenwood area of Cincinnati, Ohio, at 7681 Montgomery Road. In this interview, Todd shares why he chose Minuteman Press, how his military and business experience has helped him in the printing industry, and how products such as signage and mailings with a heavy focus on Every Door Direct Mail have helped spur the growth of his printing business. What is your professional background? Todd Harmon: “I am a United States Navy Veteran. Prior to franchising, I owned an independent small business that manufactured new and refurbished pallets in the wood products industry. I have also previously owned two other franchises in the retail and restaurant industries. I chose Minuteman Press due to its #1 ranking in print franchising and the excellent work-life balance it would provide my family. Both of my children now work in the business with me. It also appealed to me as a privately owned company with a great royalty structure for franchisees.” What has the support from Minuteman Press International been like for you? Todd Harmon: “Local support from my field rep Ryan McIntyre and RVP Gary Nowak has been outstanding. They are a great resource when I need to discuss hiring/personnel and major business decisions. The FLEX software support team is always very responsive to our needs.” How do you describe your business and capabilities to potential clients? Todd Harmon: “I explain to clients that we are actually a print and small business marketing and consulting firm. Because of my previous business experience owning two other successful local franchises prior to Minuteman Press, I can really relate to these folks and help them reach their target customers through effective print and mail marketing strategies. Our customer service and fast turnaround times really set us apart from the competition.” What are the high-demand products and services that have really been helpful for your clients? Todd Harmon: “Signage, including installation if applicable, with fast turnaround times have really helped our clients. We can drop ship anywhere for them even on weekends. Quick design services for budget-conscious small businesses are much-appreciated by our customers. Our #1 key growth area is in direct mail services. We have also built a very strong Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) business. We work with and educate our customers through every step of the EDDM process.” What are some of the key ways you’ve grown your business? Todd Harmon: “Our high level of customer service and fast turnaround times have led to many referrals. We have grown through participation in a local BNI networking group. I am committed to consistent SEO/SEM marketing, email blasts, direct mail, and always promoting our EDDM services at every opportunity.” How would you best describe your community? Todd Harmon: “We enjoy a very dense business community around our shop. There are offices, medical facilities, restaurants, and many non-profit firms in our local area, as well as schools and many large church organizations. All of our clients demand a high level of professional customer service that we strive every day to meet.” Why do you think printing remains so vital to businesses today? Todd Harmon: “Print is a more trustworthy advertising medium and can allow you to reach a more targeted audience. For instance, I believe an engaging, tangible EDDM mail piece with a strong offer will yield a higher ROI than other advertising mediums, especially for restaurants and home repair/service businesses.” What are the biggest rewards of owning your business? Todd Harmon: “Following my military service, I have always owned my own business. I get great satisfaction from operating a profitable customer service focused small business. I enjoy the challenge.” What advice would you give to other owners right now? Todd Harmon: “Minuteman Press gives you the freedom to make the print shop your own, allowing you to focus on your strengths. Embrace it and have fun. Also, h ire staff that will help you build a culture of customer service in your shop. ” Todd Harmon’s Minuteman Press franchise is located at 7681 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236.
