Where Should You Spend Your Marketing $$?

Ad Management, Ad Strategy, Digital Marketing, Online Marketing, Social Media Marketing

You need a marketing strategy that gives you the MOST bang for your buck.

You don’t have time or money to waste on ineffective advertising campaigns that don’t bring real results, so we’re taking the mystery out of marketing!

There are countless advertising opportunities, and if we tried to cover them all, you’d never get back to the jobsite, so we’re going to cover 3 areas that usually bring the highest return on investment (ROI) for home service businesses.

Google
Google is the leader in paid advertising by a mile – especially for local businesses. When customers are looking for a home service provider, their first stop is usually Google, and you want your name to be number one in the search results!
There are multiple advertising opportunities within Google. Start with a (free!) Google My Business (GMB) listing, then consider adding a pay per click (PPC) ad that will appear at the top of the Google search results.

Facebook
Facebook is easily the best tool for building and nurturing relationships. It gives potential customers a chance to get to know you and your business and see your incredible work, but it’s also an advertising goldmine!
Hopefully, you already have an active Facebook page for your business (if not, do that IMMEDIATELY!) and while it’s great for staying connected to current customers, it’s hard to reach new ones without paid ads.
Luckily, Facebook makes it easy to reach new leads through a variety of PPC ad formats including banner ads and sponsored posts.

Referrals
Word of mouth is ALWAYS going to be the gold standard for advertising. Nothing convinces potential customers that you’re the right person for the job like a glowing review from a happy customer.
But you might have noticed that it can be tough to get customers to rate or review your business even when they’re thrilled with your work. Here’s where the $$ part comes in!
Incentives are incredibly effective at eliciting the accolades you need. Try offering discounts for future services for every referral or review. You can also send a small thank-you gift card for a local business to customers who leave a review or testimonial or respond to a feedback survey.

Building a Better Ad for Your Home Service Business

Ad Management, Ad Strategy, Digital Marketing, Online Marketing

Chances are, you don’t have a marketing degree or tons of advertising experience, but that shouldn’t stop you from creating a killer ad for your home service business!

You don’t have to have lots of marketing expertise to write a great ad, and these tips will help you create compelling copy that gets customers’ attention and gives you a leg up on the competition!

Choose Your Target
Before you can write a great ad, you have to decide who you’re writing to. New homeowners? Empty nesters who are ready for a remodel? Sellers who want to spruce things up before their home hits the market?
Your target audience will determine the tone and message of your ad, so you have to understand who your audience is and what they want. When you can think from the perspective of your potential customer, it becomes much easier to write an ad they can relate to.

Identify the Problem
What does your business do? Solve problems. Whether you’re a plumber, landscaper, or interior designer, you solve people’s problems and make their lives easier, and your ad should make that clear.
Your core message should show customers that you understand their issue and explain how you’ll fix it.

Get Their Attention
The success of your ad depends on your headline. If you don’t have a strong, impactful headline, your ad won’t get the attention your business deserves.
You need a headline that’s short, concise, and filled with strong action words that inspire potential customers to click. Don’t settle for “Do you need a new roof?” Try something like, “Give Leaks the Boot! 👢” or “🛑 Stop Leaks NOW! 🛑”
Notice the emojis? They’re very effective at drawing the eye, but don’t go overboard. You don’t need an emoji after every sentence – a few well-placed pictures will do the trick.

Tap into Their Emotions
Emotional triggers are great for getting audiences to take action. Use words that inspire hope, trust, fear, or even anger to compel your audience to make the next move.
Fear of missing out (commonly known as FOMO) is a great tool for encouraging customers to act quickly. Ramp up the FOMO by offering limited time promos or discounts.

Give Proof
Obviously, you know you’re the best in the biz, but you’ve got to prove it! Include reviews, ratings, and customer testimonials whenever possible.
When you give customers social proof that other people love your work, they’ll be clamoring to call!

Call to Action
If you want customers to take action, you have to tell them what to do – and that requires a clearly worded call to action (CTA).
You can include a button that tells them to call now, request a quote, visit your website, or claim a special offer.

Is Your Ad Working?

Ad Management, Ad Strategy, Digital Marketing, Online Marketing, Social Media Marketing

You already know how to write a great ad for your home service business. (If you need a reminder, check out Building a Better Ad for Your Home Service Business). But do you know how to tell if it’s working?

Clicks, likes, comments and shares are great indicators that you’re connecting with your audience, but you can’t rely on them alone. You need numbers-based data to show you when you’re on track and indicate when it’s time to course correct.

When it comes to effective advertising, it’s a numbers game, and each social media platform comes with its own analytics dashboard to help you track your ad’s reach and relevance.

Here are 4 metrics you should be measuring to see if your ad strategy is really working:

Engagement
This tells you how your audience is responding to your ad. If you’re getting lots of clicks, likes, comments, and shares, you’re off to a great start!
If you see that your engagement rates are increasing, it’s a clear indication that you’re on the right track.

Reach
Your reach (or impressions on some platforms) lets you know how many people are seeing your ad. Some platforms track total views, and others allow you to see the number of unique views your ad gets as well.

Followers
Your goal for your ad is to get a steady stream of new leads, right? Your follower numbers ca help you determine if it’s working. If your follower numbers are increasing, your ad is doing its job. If they’re staying static, your ad might need some tweaks.

ROI
This is the big one – return on investment. You spent time and money on this ad, and you want it to be worth the effort. Each platform tracks it differently, but most will help you track your cost per click, click through rate, referrals, and conversions. You’ll be able to clearly see how much you’re spending for each new lead, and if your ad is bringing good ROI.

Is It Time for a Change?

Digital Marketing, Online Marketing, Social Media Marketing

If we’ve learned anything over the past few years, it’s that the world changes QUICKLY!!

It’s important for your brand to keep up with current trends, and digital marketing makes it possible to update your messaging whenever the world (or just the home service industry!) shifts.

Changes to your marketing message or visuals aren’t always spurred on by earth-shaking events. Sometimes you might find that your original marketing strategy isn’t working as well as you’d hoped. Or, you might stumble on a new strategy that really resonates with your customers – and you’ll ALWAYS want to implement that as quickly as possible!

Here are 5 situations where you might need to pivot your marketing strategies:

You Picked the Wrong Platform
With so many social media marketing channels available, picking the right one can be a bit of a gamble. Even if you’ve done your research to choose the platforms that appeal to your customer base, there’s no guarantee you’ll get it right EVERY time.
If you find that potential customers aren’t flocking to your page profile, it’s no big deal. It’s easy to make the switch to a higher-performing platform that meets your marketing needs.

Your Ads Aren’t Working
Nobody wants to spend time and money on an ad campaign that’s going nowhere. Luckily, when you rely on digital marketing, you’ll have an analytics dashboard that tells you EXACTLY how your ads are performing.
No more waiting around hoping you’ll get the results you want. If you see your ad isn’t making a major impact, you can pivot quickly to a more successful strategy.

Your Content Isn’t Connecting
Content marketing is all about building connections and nurturing relationships. When you’ve hit the right message and tone, you’ll know it by a steady stream of likes, comments, and shares.
But if you find that your engagement rate is lagging, you’ll have countless options for creating new content (like videos, tutorials, or product demos) that gets your clients’ attention.

You’re Relying on Tired Material
The temptation to stick with tried-and-true marketing formats is understandable, but what worked in the past may not be as successful in the future.
You might have started your business by placing ads in the Penny Saver, but that strategy isn’t going to take you far in today’s digital world! Digital marketing tactics allow your message to evolve with the times and trends so it’s always fresh.

Your Business Needs More Attention
Let’s be honest – if you’re in the home service industry, you have a LOT of competition. You’re going to need savvy marketing tactics to make your business stand out from the crowd, and these days, the entrepreneur who masters digital marketing wins.
Prospective customers start with search engines when they’re looking for home services, and if your name isn’t the first one they see, you’re going to lose business opportunities.
Digital marketing increases your visibility and puts you right in front of potential customers at the exact moment they’re ready to buy.
Finding the right digital marketing strategy for your business can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to help! Check out https://resonetrics.com/services/social-media-marketing to learn more about Resonetric’s digital marketing services.
