Marketing a Commercial and Industrial Architecture Firm
It's becoming more and more difficult for commercial and industrial architecture firms to rise above the clamor of the marketplace. Innovative marketing strategies may be your best bet for out-promoting -- and outperforming -- the competition.
The task of promoting a commercial and industrial architecture firm can quickly take a wrong turn if you don't have a roadmap.
By leveraging today's best marketing techniques, any commercial and industrial architecture firm owner can rise to the challenge and create a marketing plan that highlights the value of their business and product offerings
Marketing Expertise
A lack of personal marketing experience is not an excuse for moving forward without the support of a promotional knowledge base. Entrepreneurs and leaders of commercial and industrial architecture firms are usually hesitant to engage in high-risk marketing. Since inexperience raises the risk level, the quality of the marketer is just as important as the quality of the message. When in doubt, tap into either an internal or external knowledge base to design your company's marketing strategy.
Cost Tracking
The economy is a constant concern for people who own a commercial and industrial architecture firm. When businesses buy mailing lists, they expect a return for their investment. Unfortunately, they don't always get it. More often than not, you'll get a better ROI from highly rated list providers than you will from cheaper alternatives. Good mailing lists are money in the bank; they deliver leads, revenue and most importantly, new customers.
In addition to purchasing first-rate mailing lists, we advise our business partners to carefully track the costs and returns for each of their marketing channels. If a specific marketing channel fails to meet your expectations, consult with a professional marketing firm about how to make the channel more productive or eliminate it from your marketing mix.
Contests
You've seen the contest concept in action, even if it wasn't used in a commercial and industrial architecture firm. Although a contest won't automatically translate into higher revenue, it can be a strategic component of a comprehensive marketing plan. But contests aren't all fun and games. Poorly run contests can open your business up to claims of impropriety and even legal action. As a result commercial and industrial architecture firms invest time and resources to create contests they can count on to achieve desired outcomes.
