Green Dot will manage existing marketing efforts while creating a new brand. To ensure consumers clearly understand the value proposition of working with Big G Construction, we recommend creating a new brand that represents all of the services Big G Roofing and Construction offers – especially the financing aspect. To ensure lead flow is uninterrupted, Green Dot will take over existing marketing activities while the new brand is designed and the website is developed.
We recommend a combination of digital and direct marketing to support one another. Google Ads is a great way to step in front of existing demand and generate leads from consumers who are ready to begin a home repair or improvement project. Adding email and direct mailers combined with messaging on social media helps create brand awareness and boosts lead flow by generating additional demand.
Both tactics, direct marketing and social media aim to drive prospects to landing pages with content about the specific service they are inquiring about. Once on the website, a combination of calls to action, special offers and live chat will aim to engage prospects and get them to take the next step and inquire.
Adding marketing automation can improve the customer experience, boost conversion rates and lower costs. Using a marketing automation platform like ActiveDemand, Green Dot can help the internal sales team become more efficient by automatically triggering a series of follow up emails for each prospect – specific to the service they inquired about. Retargeting ads are displayed at major websites like ESPN, CNN, and Fox News for a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
Nurturing prospects during the entire sales cycle helps reduce cost and demonstrates professionalism. Regular monthly emails and a offering a variety of no-cost supporting content such as information about how the financing works, insurance savings, energy cost reductions and other relevant information will help educate prospects and increase conversion rates, thereby reducing the cost to acquire each new customer.
Shooting video customer testimonials and a concept overview could be a powerful way to help prospects understand the value proposition of financing these home repair / improvement projects and remove the fear of paying for them over time.
Helping the sales team close more deals by consulting on and helping implement a CRM is another way Green Dot can help Big G grow faster and measure the success of the marketing and sales efforts more effectively. We have extensive experience helping customers adapt their in-house process for successfully managing a higher lead volume.
Green Dot adds value in multiple ways:
A relevant, distinct and visually appealing brand identity your target audience identifies with is imperative for success in a crowded marketplace.
The project includes using a name supplied by the client to design three distinct logos and brand identity concepts for the client to review. Each concept will feature:
Clients can confidently select the appropriate brand ID for their business venture when they see the website home page design, business card layout and mailer design along with the logo and tagline concepts. Our process includes all the necessary steps in one round.
Integrating customer video testimonials into your digital marketing campaigns and sales funnel is a powerful way to generate an engaging and visually stimulating experience for prospects and existing customers alike. Sourcing your own, custom content ensures your brand stands out in a crowded marketplace with unique creative that competitors using stock photos can’t match.
The website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow for content updates such as photography and body copy without html coding. The site features segmented landing pages specific to each service being advertised.
The website will be designed for both mobile devices and desktop computers with mobile responsive code ensuring content renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
Targeting hot prospects through the mail ensures they receive your message loud and clear.
When you know who your ideal customers are and you know where they live or work, utilizing direct mailers is still the most effective way to ensure awareness about your product or service. Direct mail campaigns also let you set the frequency of your communications and ask for the sale. Just like digital campaigns, direct mail campaigns can be tracked and optimized with precision by analyzing results.
A professionally produced sales presentation ensures your company’s products and services are consistently represented and can really help your organization stand out during the sales process. Using Powerpoint, Keynote or a PDF slide deck, Green Dot helps clients standardize their pitch and ensure sales people represent the brand accurately.
Additionally, we can add video or multimedia components to help establish reputability or explain a complex product or service.
Project includes design and production for a 9” x 12” pocket brochure with a 4″ pocket on the back inside cover to hold 8.5” x 11” sales sheets. The folder inside cover will feature copy about key benefits of working with NewCo.
Google AdWords allows your website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign. Green Dot carefully tracks and reports on all clicks, page visits and leads generated from Google Adwords.
Video ads can be placed on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube where they can reach a wide target audience at a low cost, especially when compared to television placements. Research shows everyone from Millennials to senior business executives now prefers video over text and that video can increase conversions by over 65%.
Using video ads with on-screen text and customer testimonials is extremely effective on social media. And because these ads can link directly to your landing pages, they do more than generate brand awareness – they generate leads!
Emails marketing is of key importance when the sales cycle is extended and staying top-of-mind is the goal. Even in a crowded inbox, an email with a good subject line and relevant content will stand out and drive action. Green Dot has experience with a wide array of email marketing platforms including ActiveDemand, HubSpot, MailChimp, ExactTarget and many more.
We recommend creating an automated email drip campaign spaced out over a 2 week period. When a prospect inquires via the site or by phone, they will receive a series of five (4) emails with more information about the service they inquired about. These emails will be automated and triggered automatically to assist the sales team.
Additionally, Green Dot recommends developing and sending at least one, custom promotional email a month. Our team will develop a content calendar and work with your organization to craft a custom email every month.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website or landing page, but did not complete the desired action. These display ads can be shown to visitors from all traffic sources. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.

Social Advertising & Management
Social Advertising
Advertising on social media allows you to laser target home owners living in specific geographic locations. Placing ads on social channels is the best way to reach targets that are not already aware of your services or brand, but should be. Social media is the most cost effective way to combine branding and lead generation.
The strategy consists of using Instagram and Facebook to target home owners with information about specific home improvement services and the benefits of financing them over time. Social media is also a great way to explain how cost savings from insurance premium reductions and energy bill reductions help pay for the home improvement projects.
