San Francisco, CA (May 6, 2022) – Resquared, a venture-backed startup and provider of commercial real estate lead generation software, announced today that they have entered into a new agreement with Kimco Realty, North America’s largest publicly traded owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers.. A nationwide rollout of the Resquared platform will equip the Kimco team with the best in technology to increase their local and regional canvassing efforts.
“Our team has found great success using Resquared to reach decision makers, and in many cases the response rate we’ve seen has exceeded our more traditional canvassing methods,” said Jennifer Maisch, Vice President of Marketing & Communications at Kimco Realty. “The onboarding process was seamless, and the support from the Resquared team has been a great additional benefit of the tool.”
Local businesses have seen a surge in popularity, with many consumers eager to give back to their communities by shopping local. Having more local businesses in shopping centers creates a stronger portfolio and positions the shopping center to be more attractive to customers - a win-win for the community and leasing agent.
“Our platform specializes in connecting our customers with more local businesses than through traditional prospecting alone,” said Griffin Morris, Co-Founder at Resquared. “Through the use of our technology and best practices combined, our customers are able to facilitate the expansion of more local businesses, growing the local economy and creating more business opportunities.”
“Local businesses are integral to the fabric of communities,” said Ms. Maisch. “Resquared is a great way for our leasing team to identify and foster relationships with local business owners as we seek to curate the best possible shopping experience for our visitors.”
