Building Merchants Marketing

Marketing for Builders Merchants – Drive Footfall. Build Loyalty. Stay Front of Mind.

You’re not just shifting stock—you’re a trusted hub for trades, DIYers, and local construction pros. But in a world where buying habits are changing fast, it’s no longer enough to just open the doors and wait.

At Pauley Creative, we help builders merchants become more visible, more connected, and more competitive—both online and in-store.

Whether you’re an independent merchant or part of a regional or national chain, we know how to get you in front of the right customers, on the right channels, with the right message.

We Understand What Builders Merchants Really Need from Marketing

You’re busy managing the yard, keeping stock moving, and supporting local trades. You need marketing that’s practical localised, sales-driven and multi-channel — connecting with your customers wherever they are

That’s exactly what we deliver.

How We Help Builders Merchants Grow

Drive More Footfall to Your Branches

We help you create smart, seasonal, and geo-targeted campaigns that pull people into store —for promotions, product demos, open days, or just a reminder that you’re there when they need you.

• Local SEO & Google Business optimisation
• Social and radio campaigns promoting offers & events
• Targeted email marketing to drive repeat visits

Build a Loyal Customer Base

It’s not just about getting people through the door—it’s about getting them to come back, again and again.

We help you build relationships through:

• Loyalty campaigns and exclusive in-branch offers
• Email marketing with product updates and promos
• Social content that speaks directly to your regulars

Be Seen Online When It Matters

Trades are more digital than ever. They’re looking up stock availability, opening times, and prices ‘on the go’. If you’re not showing up online, you’re out of sight.

We’ll make sure your business:

• Appears in local and mobile search results
• Has a fast, mobile-friendly website (or landing pages if needed)
• Makes it easy for customers to call or visit

Join Up Your In-Store and Online Experience

Your customers don’t see a divide between online and offline—so your marketing shouldn’t either.

We’ll help you:

• Create campaigns that span in-store signage, email, social and radio
• Link your promotional activity to online channels
• Track what’s working and adjust in real time

Ready to Take the Step into Digital and eCommerce?

The way your customers research, browse, and buy has changed—and it’s not just happening in retail. More tradespeople and DIY customers now expect the same speed and convenience online as they get in-store. Whether you’re starting with a simple click-and-collect model or looking to launch a full eCommerce platform, we’ll help you get there.

At Pauley Creative, we build conversion-focused websites that showcase your stock, offers, and services clearly—while making it easy for customers to take action, whether that’s checking stock, placing an order, or calling your branch. We combine SEO (to make sure you show up in local and product-related searches), with smart, targeted PPC campaigns (so your promotions are seen by the right people, at the right time).

This isn’t just about being online—it’s about making online drive footfall, orders, and loyalty.

Get your Builders Merchants Seen and Heard Across Every Channel

From van drivers listening to the radio, to trade pros scrolling through Instagram, your audience is everywhere.

We make sure your brand is too:

• Radio ads to boost awareness and seasonal footfall
• Social content that builds brand familiarity and trust
• Trade PR, local press, and online visibility to keep you top of mind

Make Your Promotions Count

We get the seasonal rhythms of your business—spring landscaping, autumn heating, pre-Christmas stock clearance—and we build campaigns around them.

We help you:

• Plan and launch seasonal offers
• Promote them effectively across all channels
• Track what drives sales and footfall
