Why Gravy?
Traditional Ads vs. Gravy
Traditional Ads
- High Investment: Social ads require significant upfront spend with often low or unpredictable ROI.
- Wasted Spend: Many users who see your ads may not even live in Nashville or be part of your target campus.
- Low Signal: Experience lower engagement (CPM) as your message gets lost in a crowded, non-local feed.
Gravy
- Campus Awareness: Reach students who may not yet know your business exists.
- Discovery Bridge: Transform your storefront into a "go-to" spot for Nashville newcomers.
- Immediate Traffic: Convert student passersby into regulars with exclusive local drops.
"The median family income of a student from Vanderbilt is $204,500, and 70% come from the top 20 percent." — The New York Times
