Retail & Local Shops

Digital tools that bring customers through your door and keep them coming back

Common Challenges

Problems we solve

1

Limited visibility online

Customers search online before visiting a shop. Without a clear, up-to-date digital presence, local retailers are easily overlooked.

2

Relying too heavily on footfall

Walk-in traffic alone is unpredictable. Many retailers struggle to reach customers outside of peak times or beyond their immediate area.

3

Disconnected online and in-store experiences

Websites, social media, and in-store operations often don’t work together, creating confusion for customers and extra work for staff.

4

Difficulty encouraging repeat business

Without simple digital touchpoints, it’s hard to stay top-of-mind once a customer has left the shop.

Our Solutions

How we help

Strong local websites

Clear, well-structured websites that show what you sell, where you’re located, and why customers should visit you.

Local SEO and discovery

Foundations that help your shop appear in local searches and map results when customers are nearby and ready to buy.

Ecommerce and click & collect

Optional ecommerce or click & collect setups that complement in-store sales rather than compete with them.

Simple customer touchpoints

Digital tools that help customers enquire, browse, or stay connected without adding unnecessary complexity.

Digital solutions for local retail businesses

Local shops thrive on reputation, visibility, and repeat customers. Today, your digital presence plays a key role in all three.

At mjnx, we work with retail and local shop owners across Lancashire and the UK to build digital solutions that support footfall, strengthen local presence, and extend sales opportunities online.
