Marketing a Church Construction and Contractors Business

At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own a church construction and contractors business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.

For every church construction and contractors business success story, there many more church construction and contractors businesses that never got off the ground.

As a business owner, you probably already have a firm grasp of basic marketing concepts. However, the most visible brands are always on the lookout for the marketing tactics competitive church construction and contractors businesses utilize in the marketplace.

Social Media Monitoring

The use of social media as a marketing tool is the latest wave to overtake the small business community. Combined with a functional company website, social media attracts new customers and converts them to brand advocates. Social media can quickly go negative, turning brand advocacy into "badvocacy", a scenario in which consumers and users create content deriding your company and your products. All church construction and contractors businesses need to be particularly sensitive about the potential for negative brand commentary on social media sites. To counter negative social media, you'll need to monitor your brand's online presence and enter the conversation, redirecting negative discussions toward more positive topics.

Promotional Calendars

Sloppy marketing programs have no place in growing church construction and contractors businesses. Promotional or marketing calendars coordinate the execution of your strategy and result in a more efficient use of both internal and external resources. Consumer mailing lists from a respected provider can add value to your calendar by incorporating geographic and demographic consumer data into your promotional schedule.

Customer Awareness

Many of the highest performing church construction and contractors businesses go out of their way to maintain clear channels of communication with their customers. In this market sector, managers and promoters need to be extremely familiar with their customers' needs and purchasing preferences. More often than not, failure to maintain a robust connection with the marketplace translates into poor brand recognition and lackluster sales. On the other hand, businesses that are in touch with their customers' preferences and pressure points are better equipped to create marketing strategies that connect with buyers.
