RALEIGH, N.C. - Sept. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- The North Carolina Retail Merchants Association (NCRMA) (http://www.ncrma.org) and SnapRetail (www.snapretail.com), a SaaS online marketing solution for independent retailers, will partner to offer retailers in North Carolina a powerful solution to meet their marketing needs.

SnapRetail is the only complete online marketing solution for independent retailers. It combines email, web and social in one powerfully simple tool, with which independent retailers can plan, execute and track all of their marketing activities. But more than that, SnapRetail helps its users build their brand and sales through meaningful, consistent customer communication.

The NC Retail Merchants Association is the only state trade association focused specifically on the retail industry. Members of NCRMA will receive special pricing on SnapRetail products as well as access to seminars and training on social media marketing and ecommerce.

“As consumers continue to turn to the web to search for businesses and to research future purchases, NCRMA is on a mission to make sure small businesses can be found online,” said NCRMA President and General Counsel Andy Ellen. “SnapRetail is a great partner in our mission to advocate for and educate independent retail businesses operating in North Carolina, helping them to succeed and thrive.”

SnapRetail offers an easy-to-use online marketing solution with unique features like a drag-and-drop planning calendar for email and social media, Pinterest support, Instagram integration and thousands of professionally designed and written social posts and email templates. The company also offers an integrated website option that allows retailers to easily build their own website and manage SEO all without coding.

“We are so excited to partner with NCRMA to help their members connect with customers via their websites, email and social media marketing,” said SnapRetail CEO Tara Ronel. “SnapRetail sees the value that NCRMA supplies to its members through resources, tools and education. We are proud to supplement this with our tools that help retailers simplify their online marketing and provide the educational and support resources so they can create an effective and easy-to-maintain marketing strategy for their stores.”

The partnership is a continuation of several NCRMA initiatives including Google “Get Your Business On the Map” workshops the Association is currently offering around the state.

“For more than a hundred years NCRMA has connected retail business owners with effective legislative representation to create the best business climate possible,” said Ellen. “Some of the legislation passed in recent years has led to game-changing experiences for customers. The suggestions for legislation--like the Growler Bill--come from NCRMA members. But small retail business owners often need more to stay at the top of the game. NCRMA is now poised to give small business owners specific tools that they need to grow in North Carolina.”
