Leverage Technology to Earn More Business

Internet and technology advancements have changed the dynamic of marketing for contractors.  Homeowners are more sophisticated and constantly researching products and services online.  While “word of mouth” advertising and “letting your work speak for itself” is still very important, it’s also becoming critical to leverage technology to take your business to the next level.

Below are a few tips to help your marketing strategy:

A website that leaves you feeling proud

Your website doesn’t have to be flashy or award winning but it must be presentable, mobile-friendly and have adequate content.  You want potential customers to not only land on your site, but also have time  to browse around, check out your process, view your work and build initial trust.  Also, make sure your contact information is easily found.

Bring online and offline actions together

Post testimonials as well as pictures on your website or blog. It builds higher trust and gives potential clients a view into the actual work that will be done.  It also gives current clients a sense of pride and they’ll likely direct more business to your site to see their project in progress.

An efficient sales process or team

Avoid being too casual in the initial process and put in the extra effort on the front end. Having an experienced salesperson to execute leads, scheduling bids and getting clients on board is critical.

A credible reputation

Managing your reputation online is imperative.  Today’s consumers are more research savvy and reading online reviews is a good indication to them of the quality of business should they select your company for their project.

Social media presence

Getting started with social media is easy.  Keep your followers engaged by posting relevant information – post pictures of job sites or your completed work.

Patience

It takes time to see the benefits of effective marketing.  Be patient.  The investment in marketing will be well worth it.

Your marketing budget doesn’t have to be huge but it’s important to leverage the many technologies out there to help build your business and stay engaged with customers and potential customers.
