YETI, renowned for premium outdoor products, has forged a decade-long partnership with Locally to enhance its local shopping experience and support its dealer network. Initially focused on wholesale expansion, YETI adopted Locally’s tools, including Store and Product Locators, to bridge the gap between online and offline retail, ensuring customers can easily find their products nearby.

We’re excited to re-introduce the updated version of Locally SwitchLive, a powerful tool designed to help brands gain real-time insights into how shoppers interact with Locally’s Store Locator, Product Locator, and landing pages. SwitchLive bridges the gap between online engagement and offline purchases by capturing valuable user interaction data, allowing brands to refine their strategies and connect with customers more effectively than ever.

We started Locally 10+ years ago to give local stores presence in a world of increasingly-connected shoppers who do most of their product research online.

The goal was never to disrupt DTC efforts that brands had just started to undertake. We had always seen brand-direct and local wholesale as complimentary; understanding that optimizing one was the best opportunity to optimize the other.

We did the math. Stores sharing inventory are getting 77% more referrals from Locally than those that don’t. It turns out that in 2024, shoppers really don’t want referrals to addresses, they want to know a nearby place that has the products they are looking to buy.

Having a strong online presence is essential for retail success. With consumers increasingly turning to the internet to research and purchase products, retailers must ensure that their websites are engaging, informative, and easy to navigate. However, creating and maintaining compelling website content can be a daunting task, especially for retailers with limited resources or technical expertise.

Utilizing Stock Sharing reports alongside other Locally tools can be invaluable for your brand’s success and the success of the dealers in your wholesale network.

Track how shoppers engage with your Locally tools to build a more effective omnichannel strategy.
