Marketing a Scaffolding and Aerial Lifts, Parts and Supplies Business
The key to success in marketing a scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies business is to combine time-tested marketing techniques with the most cutting edge strategies in today's marketplace.
We see marketing as the great equalizer, a business discipline capable of dramatically increasing a small company's footprint in the marketplace.
Great marketing campaigns elevate the status of your scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies business through a diverse range of marketing channels and mediums.
Marketing Expertise
Whether you're a marketing newbie or a seasoned veteran, you need to make a deliberate effort to educate yourself about innovative marketing principles. Resources are limited and most scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies businesses need to make every dollar count, especially when it comes to their marketing budgets. Although a learning-by-doing approach is typical in this industry, we advise young marketers to seek the input of experienced professionals before committing time and resources to untested marketing concepts.
Bundling
Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
Marketing Collateral
There is nothing insignificant about marketing collateral. Even small pieces of marketing content, from business cards to product sheets, say something about your scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies business. To squeeze the most impact from your collateral, it needs to be targeted toward its recipients. Delivered to the wrong person, a valuable piece of collateral will collect dust. Collateral distributed through direct mail channels realizes its highest return when it is paired with an updated mailing list from a top mailing list vendor. If you're like most business owners, you invest substantial resources in the creation of quality collateral. If you don't invest similar resources in mailing lists and other distribution channels, your scaffolding and aerial lifts, parts and supplies business's investment in collateral will be pointless.
