DEDHAM, MA – Miso Partners, a marketing agency specializing in the bicycle industry, has unveiled a suite of tailored marketing solutions to help independent bike shops strengthen their digital presence and compete against larger retailers. The new offerings, including the signature “2-Hour Marketing Blueprint Session,” aim to bridge the gap between traditional in-store experiences and modern digital marketing strategies.
Why Independent Bike Shops Need Digital Marketing Solutions
“Independent bike shops are the heart and soul of the cycling community,” says Brandon Morphew, founder of Miso Partners. “They foster local connections, serve as hubs for cycling enthusiasts, and bring unparalleled expertise to their customers. Yet, many struggle to access the marketing resources and tools they need to thrive in today’s digital-first marketplace. That’s where we come in.”
What Bike Shops Are Saying About Miso Partners
Shepard from Bicycle Workshop shares, “Brandon and Chris at Miso Partners are providing me with all the pieces to assemble the puzzle of marketing and SEO. In just one month, I’m seeing results. What felt daunting is now a manageable process with their guidance.”
Jake from Munroe Velo remarks, “Brandon and Chris have helped with everything from content planning and Google Ads to creative marketing strategies and event planning. Their guidance has not only helped us grow but they also feel like an extension of our team. I’d be lost in the marketing world without their expertise and support!”
Mike from NEAF.CC adds, “I've learned so much in a short time from Brandon and Chris. Access to the platform has been eye-opening, and it keeps improving with new features. Looking forward to growing more.”
The Growing Demand for Local Bike Shops
Recent search trends reveal a strong, sustained interest in physical bike shops, despite the rise of online shopping:
● Searches for "bike shop near me" have steadily increased since 2018, outpacing terms like "buy bike online."
● Consumers prefer in-store experiences for significant purchases, valuing test rides, expert advice, and immediate availability. These trends underscore the opportunity for independent bike shops to enhance their digital marketing efforts while capitalizing on their unique in-store advantages.
