Prepared by Green Dot Advertising — March 13th, 2018
Raise awareness and drive leads from families and couples using digital marketing for a unique photography and 3-D printing service called Snapshot in 3-D.
The target audiences for Snapshot in 3-D are mostly families with kids and young couples. The photography studio’s primary challenge is to build awareness about this novel and unique service that not only produces beautiful family photographs, but also figurines of various sizes.
As a result, Green Dot will run a digital marketing campaign on Facebook, and later on Instagram to show the target audience the benefits of this service. The strategy calls for targeting the audience on their desktop computers as well as their mobile devices. Facebook and Instagram are ideal channels to engage the local community and create awareness for a service most people are not aware of.
All prospects will be linked to a custom website, to learn about Snapshot in 3-D and to request an appointment or inquire by phone for more information. All prospects who don’t inquire and leave the website will be retargeted with display ads that “follow” them around the internet to give Snapshot in 3-D a second and third opportunity to drive that prospect back to the site.
An email drip campaign will be setup to ensure prospects who have inquired actually show up for their initial appointment. A series of 3-5 email messages is automatically triggered for anyone who inquires via the contact form on the website, significantly increasing the likleyhood these prospects keep their appointment and are educated and prepared to buy when they arrive.
In order to be successful with this strategy, two things are important:
Green Dot will visit the photography studio and shoot videos and still images of an actual live session with a family of clients. We’ll document the process and create engaging content for the website and social media campaigns.
Green Dot carefully tracks and optimizes your campaigns and your website content to ensure maximum performance and efficiency. We report monthly to review all key metrics and recommend next steps.
Green Dot can shoot photos and videos of a photography session with a family, as well as the process of printing the figurines and preparing the photo albums. Interactions with clients, testimonial interviews, as well as interviews with the proprietors can go a long way towards communicating the unique aspects of this service and creating demand.
This website is 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 shoe images and information, without html coding.
The website will be designed for both mobile devices and desktop computers with mobile responsive code ensuring content renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
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 the video assets from your shoot, Green Dot can create short 20-45 second video ads for social media platforms targeting users on their mobile devices while within proximity of the studio.
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.
We recommend a monthly promotional email that features photo / 3-D printing packages and special offers that are sent to past customers as well as prospects that never bought. We will design a custom template that can be updated quickly on a monthly basis.
In addition, we recommend setting up an email drip campaign to ensure more prospects attend their appointments, as well as driving ratings and reviews for Snapshot 3-D. After a customer receives their photo albums and figurines, we recommend sending a survey to determine if they are satisfied. A rating of 7 or above triggers an email asking for a rating or review online.
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).
