Marketing a Generator Rental and Leasing Business
Promotional tactics for generator rental and leasing businesses are exceptionally diverse. But in our experience, there are a handful of tips and strategies that will deliver the best return for your marketing efforts.
Need to improve the effectiveness of your marketing channels for your generator rental and leasing business? We're not surprised. Many small business owners in this industry aren't happy with their current marketing scheme and are desperate to identify a path for improvement.
Marketing increases the brand footprint of a generator rental and leasing business using a carefully crafted mix of techniques and tactics.
Company Website
Technology is changing the way small businesses market their products and brands. The on-ramp for using technology to promote your generator rental and leasing business must be an exceptional website. A shoddy, thrown-together website is a net loss for your organization. To compete online, your website has to contain features and design elements that encourage visitors to drill deeper and incorporate the site into their online routines. Conversion paths are also important. With the proper design, your site can walk new visitors through a series of decisions that culminate with either an online sale, a phone order, a personal visit or a request for more information.
Hiring A Marketing Firm
Many generator rental and leasing business operations turn to marketing firms for guidance. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Does a marketing firm cost money? Sure, but not as much as you may think. When it's time to look for a marketing firm to represent your generator rental and leasing business, the first thing to look for is marketing experience. Marketing firms that lack industry experience are sometimes unfamiliar with competitive marketing channels and may not understand the value propositions that dominate industry messaging.
Email Campaigns
Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. So if you can deliver messaging to your customers' inboxes, the likelihood it will be seen and read by a large percentage of recipients is extremely high. In many generator rental and leasing businesses, the hardest part of an email campaign is gathering the email addresses of likely customers. At Gaebler, we recommend buying mailing lists from professional, third-party providers. Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.
