Mizuno Running believes that specialty stores are an essential step in the buyer’s purchasing journey. This Small Business Saturday®, they’re helping their retailers drive more in-store traffic by providing branded, locally-targeted social media content through Promoboxx.
Mizuno Running is supporting Small Business Saturday® because they believe in the power of experiences. Whether running your first 5k or exploring new roads, they want to help their customers find the perfect shoe. Specialty stores provide the unique guidance and support these customers need to make the right choice, which is why Mizuno Running is using Promoboxx Local ads this holiday season.
“We believe that small businesses are a catalyst for fostering experiences,” said Chris Hollis, Brand Manager at Mizuno Running.“They are as much an experienced resource as they are a valuable retail location. They invest emotionally and financially in the communities around them. They create a sense of place. Small businesses make the world go around and we, Mizuno Running, support that.”

The campaign plays on the idea of ‘Shopping Small’ with photos of a tiny 21st birthday for their Wave Rider shoe, with copy options encouraging shoppers to go celebrate at their local running store, get a specialty fitting, and of course #ShopSmall.
