Building a Better Marketing Campaign for Your Home Services Business

Building a Better Marketing Campaign for Your Home Services Business

You’ve got an impressive set of skills! 

You’ve put your know-how and talents to work creating a thriving home services business, and you should be incredibly proud of yourself. But when you’re working so hard to build your business, you don’t have a lot of time for learning the ins and outs of marketing – and that can leave you feeling lost when you need affordable ways to build your brand. 

No worries – you’ve got one of the most effective marketing tools right at your fingertips! 

Email marketing is one of the most widely used tools among small business owners, and there’s a reason for that – it works. On average, a well-executed marketing campaign returns $40 in revenue for every dollar spent. And if that’s not enough to convince you, email is also the fastest and most effective way to build trust and loyalty with your audience. 

Here’s what you need to know to build an awesome email marketing campaign for your home services business:

You don’t need a ton of new tools and tech to launch a successful email campaign. There are countless CRM email marketing platforms on the market and many of them are free.  These platforms help you create and launch your campaigns and provide the tools to measure and analyze your marketing efforts.
 
Relationship marketing is big these days. Companies know that the secret to success is not just obtaining new customers but holding on to your loyal client base as well. A well-constructed, highly-personalized email goes a long way towards forging lasting relationships with your customers. It’s an opportunity to show them that as a fellow member of your community, you understand who they are and what they want, and that you’re ready to deliver. 
 
Email marketing can act as the hub of all your marketing channels. It can direct your followers to your social media platforms or website with the click of an icon. You can use emails to promote your new services, announce special offers, or share your latest accolades. 
 
Email campaigns are the easiest and least expensive way to connect with your customers. They give you an opportunity to educate potential customers about your home services business, provide valuable information, and deliver captivating content directly to their inbox.
 
Email marketing can also effectively guide your customer to take action- all you need is a strong CTA that compels them “CLICK HERE” or “BUY NOW” and your email ferries them right to your landing page. 
 
Email boosts your business’s name recognition. When your customers see your name and logo pop up in their email week after week, they’re going to remember you. And when they’re in the market for your services, the brand recognition that you’ve developed with your emails will be the deciding factor that makes the sale.

Picking The Right Social Media Platform

Picking The Right Social Media Platform

Social media marketing is everywhere. Over 90% of US businesses use social media as a part of their marketing strategy, which means you’ll find profiles for massive global brands alongside your local plumber on at least one social media platform.
You know that you need to have an active social media presence, the question is, do you need to be active on EVERY platform?
Short answer – no.
Here’s the thing, each of the major platforms has its strengths. Facebook is great for building a loyal customer following. LinkedIn is the best place to expand your professional network. Instagram helps you tell your brand’s story and reach new audiences. 
The best platform for your business is the one that helps you reach your marketing goals. 
But, to discern that, you must first establish your goals. Do you want to build brand loyalty? Grow your customer base? Increase web traffic? Identifying your top objective helps you narrow down your options and choose the most effective channel.
Next, you must determine which platform is the best fit for your audience, and that requires some research. Demographics are a good place to start. You need to know the basics like age, location, gender, occupation, and income level, and where they “hang out” online. 
Once you’ve set your goals and studied your audience, you’re ready to choose your platforms. 

Facebook has the largest user numbers, and it’s a no-brainer for brands who want to stay connected with their current customers. Facebook offers private groups to encourage high engagement among followers and it’s incredibly effective at building long-term customer loyalty. 
Instagram is a top pick for visual-based businesses, but it’s also a perfect platform to tell your brand’s story and build awareness. Instagram offers features like Stories and Reels that help you connect with new followers and share your brand in a beautiful and authentic way. It’s the platform of choice for businesses that target millennial audiences.
Twitter is a workhorse that helps you expand your reach and improve your customer service. You can connect with customers in real time to answer questions, offer advice and solve problems. Using branded hashtags can help you expand your company’s reach and measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. 
LinkedIn is the top choice for B2B companies. You can find potential customers for your services as well as expand your professional network. LinkedIn is number one among users in the 30-49 age group and it’s a great platform for establishing your reputation as an expert in your industry. 
YouTube isn’t just for teenagers anymore! Any business that produces a lot of video content, particularly how-to videos, should have an active YouTube presence. 
TikTok is a must for anyone trying to reach audiences in the 18-24 age range. Zoomers, Gen Z- whatever you call them, they’re flocking to TikTok, and if that’s the audience you want to target, you should, too. 
Remember, it’s not necessary to be active on EVERY platform- it’s far more important to choose the RIGHT platform.

Why Local SEO Matters

Why Local SEO Matters

SEO…
Three letters that carry a LOT of weight. 
You’ve probably heard that SEO has the power to boost your visibility, improve your web traffic, and generate new leads. You might have even heard dire warnings that without a high SEO ranking, your business is doomed…
So, why does SEO -particularly local SEO- matter so much? 
Well, you’re a local business, right? And you want potential customers to know who you are, and what you do? Local SEO makes it happen. 
These days, when consumers are looking for a business, they turn to Google. Whether they need a doctor, lawyer, florist, or personal trainer- Google is the first stop. In fact, almost half of ALL Google searches consist of people looking for local businesses. 
And obviously, they want to find one close by- preferably within 5 miles. Google knows this, so they provide their search results based on proximity, relevance, and prominence. 
When a potential customer searches for your business, and your name is one of the first ones that pop up, you’re already halfway to making the sale. 
Here’s why:

Customers search when they’re ready to buy. Very few people search “lawyer near me” when they don’t currently need a lawyer. If they’ve done the search, they’re ready to convert. 
Local SEO delivers leads right to your website. All they have to do is click on your name, and they’re instantly transported to your virtual door where you can wow them with your amazing products or services.
You’re already ahead of your competition. You may not be the only game in town, but the higher you are on the SEO search results, the more likely you are to be chosen. If you can secure the #1 spot, you leave your competition in the dust. 
If you’re not fully convinced that local SEO is a key part of your business success story, this ought to do it…
Local SEO saves you money. 
Instead of pouring money into local advertising, social media marketing, and other marketing channels to get your business seen, you can let local SEO do it for FREE. 
When you’ve got a high-ranking local search result, would-be customers will see your business and visit your website and it won’t cost you a penny.
