How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Parking Garage
Trying to market a parking garage? It's a crowded marketplace, but with dedication and persistence, great marketing can help your business outperform larger competitors.
Need to improve the effectiveness of your marketing channels for your parking garage? That's becoming a common theme these days, especially in this market sector.
Healthy customer relationships are strengthened and expanded through targeted marketing campaigns. When viewed from this perspective, marketing becomes a customer engagement concern in a parking garage's planning process.
Company Website
Technology is changing the way small businesses market their products and brands. The on-ramp for using technology to promote your parking garage is also the anchor point for your technological strategy: A company website. Although many businesses have a website, a poorly designed and unnavigable website is worse than having no web presence at all. Your site is a representation of your business; it needs to convey the same professional appearance and functionality as you expect from any other sales and marketing asset. Conversion paths are also important. With the proper design, your site can walk new visitors through a series of decisions that culminate with either an online sale, a phone order, a personal visit or a request for more information.
Email Campaigns
Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. What does that mean for your company? It means the odds are in favor of email campaigns actually connecting with customers. For the majority of parking garages, collecting and updating the email addresses of qualified recipients isn't cost-effective. At Gaebler, we recommend buying mailing lists from professional, third-party providers. Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.
When It's Time to Rebrand
Rebranding can be the cornerstone of a successful marketing strategy. But unfortunately, many business owners choose to rebrand simply because they aren't sure what else to do. The most successful rebranding initiatives are the culmination of a deliberate process. For a parking garage, brands are tied to specific stages in the life of a business. If your company is expanding, you will inevitably outgrow your brand and it will be time to prepare for a comprehensive rebranding effort. Unless you are confident that you possess the skills necessary to rebrand your business, we advise consulting with a professional marketing firm before you introduce a new brand to your customers.
