How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Property Maintenance Business
There is little room for error in marketing a property maintenance business in today's economy. Fortunately, we have the information you need to stay ahead of the curve and outperform the rest of the field.
We recognize that the best property maintenance business leaders tend to possess solid marketing skills. Yet in this industry, the characteristics of able marketers aren't always obvious.
Today's small businesses operate in a dynamic sales and marketing environment. More than ever before, foundational marketing concepts have become the bedrock upon which successful marketing strategies are constructed.
Hiring A Marketing Firm
Eventually nearly all property maintenance business operations turn to marketing firms for guidance. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Once you decide to hire a professional marketing firm for your property maintenance business, experience should trump other considerations. Marketing firms that lack industry experience are sometimes unfamiliar with competitive marketing channels and may not understand the value propositions that dominate industry messaging.
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. Even though the potential for social media to generate positive conversations about your product is good, the potential for it to create negative, online word-of-mouth is a concern that must be taken seriously. All property maintenance businesses are especially vulnerable to negative exposure through social media. Social media monitoring can be as simple as periodical Google searches or as complex as the application of sophisticated monitoring software. Either way, it's essential to develop a system for regularly monitoring your company's presence in social media, followed by positive customer engagements.
Improving Customer Loyalty
Savvy entrepreneurs target customer loyalty as a cornerstone of strategic planning. In property maintenance businesses, sorted and updated mailing lists obtained from top-tier providers are effective tools for customer acquisition. To encourage customer loyalty, you'll need to tap into deliberate mechanisms that incentivize customers to reward your brand with repeat business. In many cases, online channels can be leveraged to create innovative customer loyalty programs.
