From the Yellow Chair Why Your Marketing Feels Random And How To Fix It
Crystal discusses why many contractors feel their marketing is random and ineffective, and provides practical solutions for creating a strategic, cohesive marketing plan that aligns with business goals.
• Marketing without strategy leaves contractors feeling unsettled and disorganized
• True marketing encompasses branding, advertising, content, and community involvement
• Many contractors have advertising plans but lack comprehensive marketing strategies
• Reactive marketing happens when you scramble for leads instead of planning ahead
• Plan marketing at least one quarter at a time with themes, tactics, budget, and creative elements
• Average ticket values and conversion rates must be tracked to evaluate marketing effectiveness
• Successful marketing requires both consistency of message and frequency of delivery
• Brand-forward (not tactic-forward) approaches create recognition and trust
• Different marketing tactics serve different purposes and should be measured accordingly
• Tracking and measurement systems prevent wasting money on ineffective marketing
• Marketing is "a game of chess that you sit down and never get to get up" - always evolving
