Marketing a Burial Vaults Business

Small and medium size burial vaults businesses can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.

Marketing is the bridge between an organization and its customer base. Build your bridge poorly and you'll quickly find your burial vaults business cut off from the marketplace.

Top performers habitually integrate sound marketing concepts with market demands.

Price Matching

Price matching is a protection for buyers who are concerned that they could find a better deal elsewhere. For businesses, price matching eliminates buying risk, convincing cautious consumers to buy now. The principle is simple: Since pricing is a primary factor in product selection, your business agrees to match advertised competitor pricing. Without price matching, if they can locate lower pricing from a competing burial vaults business, potential clients will abandon your brand in droves. Today's consumers are educated and informed. They use social media and other tools to identify the best pricing, making it imperative for small business to consider the value of a well-publicized price matching strategy.

Media Monitoring

Some marketing initiatives lend themselves to simple measurement while others are more challenging. For example, if you buy a mailing list and conduct a direct mail campaign, you should have little difficulty measuring the campaign's effectiveness and ROI. The difficulty comes when you are tasked with quantifying market presence and brand influence. Fortunately, media monitoring has the ability to give your burial vaults business a sense of market presence and other variables that are difficult to quantify. If executed properly, media monitoring can help your brand get ahead of negative messaging and exert greater influence over news cycles.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Logo development in a burial vaults business is a big deal. In tight markets, logos differentiate one company from the next. More importantly, a good logo can differentiate your value proposition from your competitors. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.
