How to Reach Your Target Market
Marketing an Environmental Site Assessment and Remediation Business
The task of promoting an environmental site assessment and remediation business has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?
As a business owner, it's imperative to understand that your financial metrics are inextricably linked to your marketing capacity.
Marketing increases the brand footprint of a environmental site assessment and remediation business and drives the customer acquisition process.
Media Monitoring
Measurement and evaluation are critical considerations for effective PR and marketing plans. Direct mail can be evaluated by tallying the cost of inputs (e.g. a premium mailing list, printing, postage, etc.) and measuring the number of customer responses you receive from the campaign. The difficulty comes when you are tasked with quantifying market presence and brand influence. With the help of marketing professionals, media monitoring can provide up-to-date assessments of the amount of influence your environmental site assessment and remediation business has in the public sphere. Even more importantly, media monitoring can alert you to negative commentary early, giving you the opportunity to counter negative mentions with more accurate and more positive messaging.
Generating Buzz
All business owners want to generate buzz about their products, services, and brand. There are multiple ways owners can tout the benefits of their product offerings, but the most effective promotions are personal recommendations or word of mouth advertising. For an environmental site assessment and remediation business, meaningful brand conversations have the ability to transform the impact of your marketing efforts. Businesses that target brand discussions need to be active partners in dialogue. Social networking and other online strategies can play a foundational role when they are performed in tandem with face-to-face interactions and industry networking.
Company Website
Without the right technological tools, your business is on the fast track to failure. The technological entry point for your environmental site assessment and remediation business is to create a high-quality business website. A functional and attractive company website is no longer an option for businesses with a long-term outlook. Content, architecture, and features are important consideration when creating a website. 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.
