Marketing Coaching for Contractors
As a contracting firm, there may still be some print materials you use including door fliers, yard signs, and other tangible marketing items. That said, the entrance of digital communications has revolutionized the way contracting firms communicate the value of the products and services they offer. Digital communications begin with PSM Marketing helping you to develop a marketing and communications database or Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) program. Today, an email address is golden. We help you amass an entire database of past clients, current clients, referral sources and other industry contacts so we can help you prepare targeted communications for each audience.
Photos Tell the Story!
Digital communications also include social media. Facebook, Instagram, and even Pinterest can be excellent sites for contractors to employ social media. Generally, in contracting you can take some great before and after pictures. Where better to showcase them than on your website and social media sites? The more you engage with your audiences, the higher your name recognition will be. Using digital communications can help tell your company’s story, and at the same time show the great quality of work you produce for your customers.
But Aren’t Digital Communications for Contractors Expensive?
Not at all. In fact, digital communications for contractors are much more cost-effective than their paper alternatives. Think of the cost savings of being able to send beautifully designed digital communications in the form of an e-communication versus paying a graphic designer, a printer, and the post office to send a print piece. We are skilled and well versed on every possible digital communication your construction firm would be interested in. In addition, we are always making recommendations to our clients on exactly what digital marketing strategies would work best in the construction industry.
Conduct Your Own Digital Analysis
Will your contracting firm benefit from digital communications? Take a look at the communications you have sent out in the last couple of years; look at your presence on social media. Do you bring your business to life with high quality photography on your website and on social media? Does everything you send tie back into the overall branding of your firm? If you aren’t happy with your company’s digital footprint, PSM Marketing can help!
