Shop Local, Stand Out: Branding, Social Media & Meta Ads for McKenny's Furniture

 Featured Image

McKenny's Furniture is a long-standing local business in O'Neill, Nebraska with deep roots in the community. They've got loyal customers, quality products, and a showroom full of furniture that actually makes you want to sit down and stay a while. Like a lot of small retailers, their online presence wasn't doing their brick-and-mortar store justice.

 

The Challenge

Abandoned Google Business Profile and Facebook page with no activity for a while

Lack of communication to existing customers about when new inventory arrived

No recognizable brand style

Declining foot traffic into store

 

The Solution

We kept it simple, local, and true to who McKenny's Furniture is — while leveling up the visuals and running targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram:

Official Brand & Style

  • Created a simple logo
  • Defined a consistent color palette, typefaces, and photo editing style
  • Built a custom GPT to help create content aligning with brand voice/tone
Brand style board with photos, logo, and color swatch

 

Refreshed Google Business Profile & Facebook Content

  • Refreshed Google Business Profile listing with updated photos, hours, and services
  • Crafted and maintained scheduled Facebook content to maintain consistent visibility online
  • Photographed inventory in-store for social media use
