With so many options available to access information today, it is important to know how to reach new lawn care customers efficiently and retain current ones.
Cutting through the clutter can be difficult, but with the right tools, marketers can make their messages stand out. Knowing how to use the correct combination of tools and strategies can drive significant results in terms of sales and brand building. So, what's the secret?
Direct Mail + Digital
Multichannel marketing is more impactful than ever.
Now more than ever, consumers rely on digital media and information sources to research products and services. Brands with exceptional online strategies and presence have an advantage, especially if they can rank high in the consideration set against competitors.
However, online media suffers from its own success. Why? Marketers create so much online content, display ads, social ads, video, and email that it becomes difficult to break through the clutter.
It is essential to augment your digital presence with traditional and offline communication strategies such as print, outdoor, social, broadcast, and direct mail. Creating a multi-touch communication strategy ensures that your brand is top of mind throughout the consumer’s decision-making process. It also offsets consumers having different consumption preferences.
As a marketer, it is critical to reach the right person in the right place at the right time, to recognize who your customer is, how they consume information, and how to center your communication approach around them to align marketing objectives with business goals.
