Create a new custom website that showcases the company’s consulting and design / build services for custom kitchens with high-end professional photography and helps generate sales leads with landing pages and customized content specifically created to support the marketing campaigns.
Developing a mobile responsive website that is properly optimized to convert incoming traffic from the search engines and support social media and email marketing campaigns is critical to the success of the proposed strategy.
Green Dot will drive qualified traffic to the KabKo website via search engine marketing, social media advertising and email marketing. Site visitors will be retargeted with banner ads for a period of 2 weeks when the browse other websites anywhere that support display advertising.
Email marketing combined with social media will be the primary nurture channels to support the sales cycle. Green Dot suggests implementing an email drip campaign as soon as a prospect inquires via the site or by phone. A series of four (4) emails will be sent with kitchen design tips, information about finishes and appliances (or whatever else you feel is important). Additionally, we recommend sending one custom promotional email per month.
Green Dot will carefully track and analyze the results of each campaign, whether inquiries originate via a web contact form or by phone and report on cost per lead by channel. Our primary objective is to optimize your campaigns to achieve the lowest cost per lead possible.
A relevant, distinct and visually appealing brand identity your target audience identifies with is imperative for success in a crowded marketplace.
Green Dot takes a holistic approach to designing logos and brand identities. We don’t present raw ideas, we present finished concepts. Clients can make better decisions when seeing their entire brand story “in action” versus first a logo design and then other brand touch points in a linear manner. As a result, we thoroughly develop your brand’s story and multiple touch points prior to presenting any of it for client feedback.
While the cost for this holistic approach is initially higher than simply developing a logo, we credit the time spent designing additional brand touch points (website or brochure) to those projects going forward, leveraging the investment and offsetting the upfront costs.

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. Sourcing your own, custom assets ensures your brand stands out in a crowded marketplace with unique creative that competitors using stock photos can’t match.
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 photography and page copy 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.
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 (4) single-sided 8.5” x 11” sales sheets. The key benefit of the sales sheets is that specific information can be updated and reprinted without the need to reprint the entire brochure.
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.
Green Dot has a unique direct mail solution that combines traditional print with a high tech approach. A personalized mail piece is crafted for each target and sent with a digital code the recipient enters into a webpage to view a specific message you create specifically for them (video or multimedia).
When the recipient enters the code to access your message, an email is sent to a sales rep alerting them that the prospect has taken time out of their day to engage with your corporate communication. Conversion rates from this type of direct mail campaign are 200-300% higher than with traditional mail campaigns.
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, consider adding video or multimedia components to help establish reputability or explain a complex product or service.
Print ads reach targets with similar interests and provide an important touch point for brand awareness campaigns.
Whether utilizing industry focused trade publications to reach a B2B audience or national consumer magazines to target the masses, print advertising allows for concept driven ad campaigns that are relevant and memorable.
Born a design studio, Green Dot knows how to leverage print for maximum impact and deliver your message in way that gets recalled and prompts the desired action.
Outdoor advertising allows you to reach a large segment of any local area with an advertising presence that can’t be skipped, zapped or ignored. Green Dot can research, design and place your ads where your target audience is most likely to see them.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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.
Advertising with online music streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify is a powerful way to create brand awareness and generate leads at the same time. Combining targeting parameters such as geography and demographics along with interests like music genre allows you to reach your target audience with precision.
Online radio ads also come with companion banner ads allowing you to earn a click right to your website – something that terrestrial radio stations cannot offer. Since you can get qualified prospects to take action on the spot, you don’t have to spend as much to earn brand recall through frequency. This same interactivity also generates feedback that helps to optimize your messaging and identify winning pitches.
Emails can be used to nurture a lead or promote a specific product, service or event. 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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
Many social networks only allow you to reach a percentage of your community for free. For example, Facebook only allows you to reach up to 6% of your page follows organically and after that you must pay to reach the remaining 94%. Social advertising helps help reach and nurture the people in your community that the networks won’t allow you to reach for free.
