Prepared by Green Dot Advertising — March 5th, 2018
Introduce the SafeDecisions brand to the US consumer using digital marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness and drive qualified traffic to the website to help generate sales.
As SafeDecisions is a new brand with little or no brand awareness in the marketplace, defining the brand’s values with consumers is a key objective. SafeDecisions is more than just a product, it’s a disruptive concept that is likely to revolutionize the way consumers utilize their safes, fostering peace of mind and less stress about how we store and access our valuables.
Initially, the focus will be on building the brand touch points needed to begin marketing the product online. Green Dot will design and develop a first-class website that both both tells the story about the product as well as the brand, and allows consumers to purchase directly from the manufacturer online. The site will feature a section explaining the benefits of the SafeDecisions product line complete with explanatory videos and customer testimonials. The store will feature 8 product lines with a total of 29 SKUs.
Green Dot will design and launch a digital marketing campaign to promote the product line and drive traffic directly to the website. Using search marketing and social media marketing tactics, the goal is to target consumers between the ages of 30 and 60, or anyone searching for “electronic safes” and related keywords.
Consumers that visit the site but don’t buy will be automatically retargeted with display ads that “f0llow” them around the internet from site to site giving SafeDecisions a second and third “at bat” with consumers that showed enough interest to click on a paid pad. Consumers that begin the checkout process but don’t complete the purchase will be subscribed to an email drip campaign consisting of 5 messages urging them to complete the purchase.
Consumers who buy will also be subscribed to an email drip campaign consisting of 5 messages designed to teach them how to setup and begin using the product. At the conclusion of the drip campaign they will receive a satisfaction survey. If they rate their experience as 7 out of 1o or higher they will automatically receive an email asking them for an online rating and review. If they score 6 or lower, SafeDecisions will receive a notification to reach out to the customer to resolve their issue with the purchase experience.
Green Dot carefully tracks the results of the campaigns. Through diligent analysis and ongoing optimization we fine tune your marketing campaigns for optimal results. We generate fresh content on a monthly basis in the form of sharable social graphics and informative blog posts to nurture your followers on social media and prompt them to buy or refer their friends.
Projections:
The media budget for this proposal is based on an objective to sell 10,000 units in year one, at an average price of $600 per unit, or $6,000,000 in revenue. The projected maximum advertising and marketing cost is $100 per sale, with a target of $50 per sale. As a result, the total monthly advertising budget to sell 10,000 units is $1,000,000.
This project includes time to shoot both photography of the product line for the website, as well as photography and video of consumers using the product and talking about their experiences. The objective is to use these assets for the website as well as the running short 30 second video ads and customer testimonials for the digital marketing campaigns.
This website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes setup and configuration of WooCommerce, the most popular shopping cart software worldwide. The site also includes a content management system (CMS) to allow the client to manage the site’s inventory, ship completed orders, as well as add and edit content such as product photography and descriptions.
The website 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 and landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords such as “electronic safe” or “personal safe”. 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.
This tactic allows you to step in front of existing demand targeting people actively looking for a safe online, using either a desktop computer or a mobile device.
The cost per click (CPC) of keywords such as “home safe” or “electronic safe” range between $1,00 to $2.00 per click. Using a median 2% conversion rate, we project a cost per sale between $50 – $100 once the campaign is optimized.
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%.
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.
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 MailChimp, HubSpot, ActiveDemand and many more.
Green Dot recommends incorporating two (2) email drip campaigns. Once to nurture prospects who abandon their cart, and another to guide customers who have purchased with the setup process for their safe.
Prospect Drip
Customer Drip
A great way to supplement qualified traffic from across the web is to run content ads that are inserted at the bottom of news articles, linking to editorial content about your product or service.
Both Outbrain and Taboola provide ad platforms allowing you to reach readers on popular news and entertainment sites with content that you control. Green Dot can manage these insertions, test a variety of headlines and content, and optimize the corresponding landing page on your website to ensure conversions are triggered at the highest possible rate.
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.
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.
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) and ActiveDemand (campaign dashboards).
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.

Social Advertising & Management
Social Advertising
Advertising on social media allows you to laser target and reach those people most likely to find your product or service relevant, interesting and valuable. Placing ads on social channels is the best way to grow your followers and reach targets that are not already aware of your brand, but should be.
Green Dot will run sponsored newsfeed ads on Facebook and Instagram targeting users between 30 an 60 years of age with an income of $125k or a net worth of $250,000. This yields an audience of 2.1 million users in the USA. Targeting this “sweet spot” is recommended while budget is a focus.
