Prepared by Green Dot Advertising — July 24th, 2017
Introduce PermaNet by Vestergaard to the US market for both commercial and retail applications.
Initially, Vestergaard will focus on introducing the PermaNet product to the commercial market in South Florida, while preparing for a retail launch that includes brick and mortar home improvement stores as well as online sales direct to the consumer.
A launch event focused on the University of Miami installation is planned for October of 2017. Using this event as a springboard, Vestergaard plans to market the product to various markets including education, theme parks, municipalities, construction sites, OEM home contractors, as well as other commercial applications. Green Dot will source video testimonials and on-site photography to create a case study as well as assets that can be used for future digital marketing campaigns and sales presentations.
The commercial market will be targeted primarily using the sales team to initiate contact, schedule sales meetings and negotiate directly with prospects. The sales team will attend relevant trade shows and conferences to raise awareness and schedule appointment, as well as work the phones. As a result, Green Dot will develop a first class sales support solutions including the following:
Along with direct sales to commercial targets, the sales team will also be pitching national retailers with the PermaNet product line to secure distribution at retail throughout the US for a spring 2018 launch. The same sales support materials can be leveraged for the purpose of pitching retailers.
In the spring of 2018, Green Dot will launch a multi-channel marketing campaign targeting consumers. The low hanging fruit is the pre-natal market, along with southern states that have warmer climates and higher incidence of screened windows, porches and swimming pools. The strategy involves running digital ads, including on social media sites, search engines, and display ads on popular news and sports sites linking to segmented landing pages. The campaign will be supported by a variety of content including DIY videos, testimonial videos by moms, informative blog posts and automated email nurture campaigns.
Ads will be places strategically to run within 5-10 miles of retail locations that carry the products. Green Dot has significant experience geo-targeting areas where there is distribution close by. In addition, we recommend segmenting the consumer audience into categories and creating content relevant specifically to the pre-natal market and home owners in general. Further, each category will be presented with content highlighting a DIY solution, as well as a contractor driven installation where available.
Once a consumer clicks on a digital ad, they are linked to a specific landing page featuring content closely related to the ad messaging. The landing page will include informational and educational content focused on the product benefits, installation, sourcing (retailers nearby), as well as a way to locate contractors in the area offering installation services. These prospects are then retargeted with display ads, email nurture campaigns and social media content designed to drive conversions and sales at local retail outlets.
Targeting hot prospects through the mail ensures they are aware of the PermaNet brand prior to being contacted by the sales team.
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. 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.
Project includes design and production for an (8) page 9” x 12” sales brochure with a 4″ pocket on the back inside cover to hold (5) double-sided 8.5” x 11” sales sheets segmented by target industry. The key benefit of the sales sheets is that specific information can be included to ensure the benefits for each distinct vertical market are clearly presented and explained.
A professionally produced sales presentation ensures your company’s products 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, consider adding video or multimedia components to help establish reputability or explain the specific benefits of the PermaNet product.
Print ads placed in specific industry publications ensure your prospects are aware of the PermanNet brand prior to making contact.
Utilizing industry focused trade publications to reach a B2B audience allows your sales team to connect with prospects that are aware of the PermaNet brand and its many benefits. Green Dot highly recommends targeting each industry vertical with a distinct ad designed to be relevant to that specific industry vertical.
A custom trade show display helps distinguish your brand from competitors and establishes credibility.
When it comes to exhibiting at trade shows, we always tell our clients to “go big or go home”. Exhibiting in close proximity to competitors is a huge opportunity to stand out and make an impact. A visually stunning display that engages prospects and impresses clients can go a long way to making the most of this opportunity.
Green Dot can help source both modular and fully custom displays. We create audio / video content, large format graphics, and printed sales collateral, as well as arrange shipping, storage and on-site assembly.
Integrating custom photography and video into your sales collateral and content marketing campaigns is a powerful way to generate an engaging and visually stimulating experience for prospects and existing customers alike. As commercial installations become available, such as UM, shooting photography of the site and video testimonials of the people involved will be critical.
Additionally, testimonial videos of pre-natal consumers and home owners will prove invaluable. Green Dot recommends using this content as video ads for digital marketing campaigns, as well as on the landing pages to help convert consumers. DIY installation videos, as well as corporate videos by Vestergaard product engineers could also be helpful.
The landing pages will be segmented by pre-natal and DIY home owners featuring highly relevant content for each target audience, including a way to locate retail stores close by, as well as contractors offering installation.
The landing pages are quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow the client to add and edit content such as photography and page copy without html coding.
The landing pages will be designed for both mobile devices and desktop computers with mobile responsive code ensuring content renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
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.
Organic listings on search engines drive free clicks to your website. Once profitable keywords are determined through pay-per-click campaigns a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) campaign can be initiated to rank specific pages of your site organically for the best performing keywords.
Unlike other digital agencies who prefer to run SEO campaigns in perpetuity, Green Dot only recommends SEO services until specifically targeted search listings are achieved.
A Branded SEO campaign can also be executed to seed information about your brand’s name and product names in the search results. A branded SEO campaign can incorporate reviews, testimonials, press releases and similar content. The key benefit is that when prospects research your company / brand by name, they will encounter this seeded content, allowing your organization to control the narrative.
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%.
Green Dot recommends running a variety of video and multimedia ads for PermaNet, including testimonial videos, product demos and product ads highlighting the benefits for specific applications.
Another great way to target consumers is to present content in the form of advertorials through trusted news and entertainment sites using the Outbrain and Taboola content networks.
Green Dot places ads linking to advertorials about PermaNet towards the bottom of editorial content created by popular national publishers. This tactic is highly effective and drives content directly to relevant landing pages on your domain.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website 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.
In addition, Green Dot recommends utilizing Quantcast to serve display ads to a variety of prospects once the campaign scales to a national level. Quancast can target consumers based on behavior they are displaying online, making it possible to target pre-natal mothers and new home-owners with accuracy.
Reputation management allows you to stay informed about what consumers and competitors are saying about your brand around the web. The service also includes building social proof and support for your brand through influencer relationships, as well as reviews and ratings from customers.
Green Dot actively monitors conversations about your brand online, then responds to comments and questions in a timely manner. We research and identify influencers for your brand category and establish relationships on your behalf asking for product reviews or posts about your services.
Emails can be used to nurture a lead or promote specific aspects of the product, that is unique and worth repeating or explaining in more detail.
Green Dot recommends setting up an email automation platform like HubSpot and initiating an email drip campaign for any consumer prospect that requests more information via the landing pages. Green Dot has experience with a wide array of email marketing platforms including MailChimp, HubSpot, Exact Target and many more.
Engaging and original content is vital to the success of every advertising campaign. Content can be shared via email and social media while helping to drive SEO rankings and free traffic for important long-tail keywords. Proprietary content in the form of well researched blog posts, and branded social media graphics engage visitors who are researching brands and evaluating the competition.
This service provides clients with individually researched and well written blog posts, as well as customized social media graphics on an ongoing basis.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (website performance), RavenTools (campaign performance) and Call Tracking Metrics (phone call lead tracking).
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.
