How A Local Brick-and-Mortar Business Did 1 Month of Sales in 3 Days
If you’re tired of running marketing campaigns that don’t produce results… start using this simple strategy, which lowers your marketing costs and maximizes results.
Our simple campaign has been used to explode the sales of local businesses, with one achieving a month’s worth of sales in three days.
Let me explain how…
Our client in the home goods business relied solely on traditional marketing forms: sending flyers, radio advertising, word of mouth and the store itself. Their website was basically just contact info.
Like many local stores, they were frustrated not to see growth in overall sales year over year despite investing as they did in these forms of marketing.
They also had no system in place to capture leads with which they could share new sales or follow-up.
So what did we do?
When the client contacted us, we knew there was a huge opportunity to grow sales and develop a list of leads with whom to share offers.
We worked with the client to fix their website, develop a great offer, and create a high-converting sales page to send potential customers.
With the system in place, we created a simple Facebook ad set to distribute the offer to a new audience.
This allowed us to sell directly to them and capture their information so we could follow up with them again. Some customers were ready to buy and converted to sales, but the remainder were safely kept.
Then, we designed a new promo using the same strategy. Only this time, we had a list of prospects ready to buy.
What happened? In 3 days, the store did 1 month’s worth of sales.
*While one month of sales in 3 days is an incredible result, it’s important to understand that every business is different. Your results will depend on the type of product or service you offer and the market you serve. But here’s the good news: this system is designed to be a dependable, low-cost way to consistently generate leads and drive real interest in your business. Whether you see explosive results immediately or steady, scalable growth over time, you’ll be setting up a lead generation engine that keeps working for you daily. The key is starting now and giving your business the tools it needs to succeed.

This strategy can be suited to any business.
With this strategy, you get:
- Top of visibility for your business
- Capture new leads and convert them to sales instantly
- Additional foot traffic or service inquiries
- Built-in brand recognition and reputation that gets people talking about you
- Repeat business through automated follow-ups

This has nothing to do with posting repeatedly on social media, generating blog posts or using radio advertising.
It’s all done by reaching customers directly when they want what you sell!
But this ONLY works if you set up show-stopping offers and a well-converting website. We only need to show potential customers you will offer them the BEST service.
If you aren’t willing to create a unique angle, valuable offer, or run paid ads, this isn’t for you.
Now, if you have something worthwhile for potential customers and want to test this strategy… then read this page closely.
This Direct Marketing Strategy Solves Your Client Acquisition Hassles:
Relying Too Heavily on Word of Mouth
Are you counting on your loyal customers to spread the word about your business but not seeing the growth you expected? Is your business dependent on random referrals and hoping that word of mouth alone will bring in new customers?
While word of mouth is a valuable source of business, it’s not scalable. Relying too much on referrals leaves your business growth to chance.
The Solution: A consistent digital strategy puts you in front of the right audience daily—giving you control over your growth and freeing you from relying solely on chance encounters.
Chasing Leads Instead of Serving Customers
Are you spending more time chasing down leads than actually serving your customers? Are you overseeing marketing material design, setting up ads and campaigns, and managing your marketing team all day—only to find yourself frustrated, wasting time learning new platforms, and not seeing the results you hoped for? Worse, is this eating into time that could be better spent growing your business or delivering exceptional service?
The Solution: With a simple, compelling offer and targeted ads, you’ll have a system in place that automatically brings in leads, follows up with them, and converts them to a customer without you lifting a finger.
Underutilized Potential from Existing Customers
Are you missing out on the opportunity for easy referrals and repeat business because you don’t have a system in place to stay in touch and encourage return visits? Are you relying solely on new customer acquisition?
The Solution: A system that captures leads, allowing you to create an ongoing relationship and have multiple interactions with the customer on autopilot for a one-time marketing cost.
All You Need is a 1 Page Campaign
Using this process, your marketing efforts become much more simplified:
- No flyers
- No radio ads
- No complex content requirements
- No cold calling
- No door-to-door sales
- No fancy signage
Just Ad -> 1 Page Campaign Offer
After doing this for multiple clients, we’ve found this much more effective:
The NextScale Local Model
The Old Way:
- Print flyers and business cards that require constant printing and manual distribution with little control over reach and conversion.
- Run expensive newspaper or radio ads with broad reach but no control over listener engagement or guaranteed action.
- Sponsor local events without guaranteeing follow-up, where tracking customer conversions and returns is hard.
- Post to social media daily, hoping someone might see it, requiring you to have an in-house team.
- Waste budget on “PPC specialists” who send customers to your generic home or service pages.
The New Way:
- Launch a simple 1-page offer that educates and sells to your customer.
- Simple ad setup which allows you to target potential customers directly and effectively.
- Capture customer information so you can sell to them over and over.
- Track and optimize your campaign strategically to amplify your results.
- Become the go-to solution for your product or service in your community through visibility, repetition and reputation.
Here’s how we make our 1-page offer and simple ad setup work for any local business:
Step 1: Simple Website with Conversion Focused Offer Page
Create a simple, conversion-focused website with a clean, user-friendly design and a compelling offer. Your 1-page offer should have a clear, concise layout with a strong call to action that encourages visitors to take the next step—whether that’s booking a consultation, claiming an offer, or scheduling an appointment.
A well-crafted offer page removes distractions and keeps visitors focused on one goal: converting a visitor to a lead. Your website will engage visitors, educate them on your products and services, build credibility, and prompt them to act by featuring trust elements like testimonials or reviews and an easy-to-complete lead form. Adding mobile optimization ensures seamless interaction for users on their phones.
This approach works because it keeps things simple and focused. Visitors are presented with a clear offer, straightforward next steps, and a quick way to get what they need or contact the business. This maximizes your chances of turning website traffic into leads, phone calls, or foot traffic, boosting your overall conversions with minimal effort.
Step 2: Setup complete acquisition funnel that gives instant traffic, leads and sales
Run simple Facebook ads that guide potential customers from awareness to action to create an acquisition funnel. Using the TOFU (Top of Funnel), MOFU (Middle of Funnel), and BOFU (Bottom of Funnel) strategies, you can attract, engage, and convert prospects into paying customers.
TOFU ads introduce your business to a broad audience, MOFU ads provide more value to nurture interest, and BOFU ads offer the final push to close the sale.
- Top of Funnel, simple ads target local customers searching for services like yours. This, in combination with your offer, creates instant traffic by attracting people who don’t know about your business.
- Middle of Funnel retargeting ads show them the offer again, encouraging them to engage again after they know who you are.
- Bottom of Funnel ads remind interested prospects to complete the offer directly, delivering the final nudge they need.
This funnel works because it provides a smooth journey for potential customers. By guiding them through each stage, from initial awareness to final decision-making, you’re offering the right message at the right time. The result? Consistent traffic, steady lead flow, and increased sales, all from a simple piece of content and targeted ads that work automatically.
We primarily use the Meta network for advertising, but you can also use Google, YouTube or LinkedIn ads depending on where your potential audience is spending time.
Step 3: Distribute Your Offer and Remind Customers of New Offers
Once someone signs up through your 1-page offer, you send educational emails about your business and how it can help them. Now, the customer is fully aware of what you have to offer.
Also, with a successful offer in place, it’s time to share it across all your organic channels. This includes your social media platforms, email footers, and your website. Sharing the offer outside of your paid ads allows you to reach a broader audience, including those who may not have seen your ads but are already following or interacting with your business online.
As you promote the offer, you’re targeting new prospects and building a list of engaged customers interested in what you offer. This list becomes an invaluable asset because you can nurture these prospects by sending them new offers, updates, or special promotions that align with their needs. By keeping them engaged, you’re turning one-time visitors into repeat customers.
This strategy works because it creates multiple touchpoints for engagement. Not everyone will convert on their first visit, but with consistent reminders of new offers and continued value, you’re staying top of mind. This keeps your business in their thoughts, leading to higher conversions, repeat sales, and increased customer loyalty.
That’s all there is to it! Repeat as necessary.
Here’s why this works to attract paying customers and increase your lead flow:
It provides an Instant Solution and Saves People Time and Money. Customers value quick, straightforward solutions. By offering an easy-to-understand service upfront, you eliminate long decision-making processes, allowing them to take action immediately. This saves them both time and money, leading to higher engagement and faster conversions.
People Don’t Need to Waste Time in a Long Sales Process. Removing unnecessary steps in the sales process allows customers to decide quickly. A simple, direct offer speeds up decision-making, ensuring they either take the deal or move on, ultimately leading to more efficient lead generation and higher sales.
Instant Brand Recognition and Reputation Boost. Consistent exposure and a clear, valuable offer lead to quick brand recognition. As customers see your message repeatedly and share it through word of mouth, your business gains trust and credibility, driving more leads and solidifying your reputation in the local market.
You may be asking, “But does it really work? Will it work for me?”
💰 The Result: One Month of Sales in Just a Few Days
Our client saw explosive growth thanks to the optimized website, 1-page offer, targeted paid ads, and automated systems. In fact, within the first few days of launching the campaign, they did one month’s worth of sales.
Their website went from being an afterthought to becoming their most powerful sales tool. Now, instead of relying solely on walk-ins or word of mouth, their website brings in a steady stream of calls, emails, and foot traffic every single day.
And this will work for any business or service because these people need what you’re selling!
💡 Is Your Website Leaving Money on the Table?
Option 1:
You could use the step-by-step process to take all this information and implement this strategy. It’s not challenging to work through, and there’s no massive “secret” that you’re missing to make it work.
We’ve already been successfully applying this strategy for clients. So, unless you’re a marketing business, you may have to learn a thing or two about websites, running ads, and using autoresponder software.
If your website isn’t working for you, as explained in the process above, you’re probably missing out on a ton of business. Here’s why your site might not be performing:
- You have no website: If your site doesn’t exist, your potential customers will not be able to find you online or engage with you.
- You’re not running paid ads: Your competitors are getting in front of customers immediately while you’re invisible.
- Your site isn’t optimized for conversions: You may be getting visitors, but that traffic is wasted if they’re not turning into leads or customers.
- You’re spending too much time chasing leads: With the right systems in place, your website could be bringing in leads automatically, freeing up your time to focus on what you do best.
