Every part of your marketing strategy should point potential customers to a professional-looking, well-designed website.
97% of consumers go online to check out local businesses. 30% of consumers won’t consider using a business that doesn’t have a website.
内容营销 tells the story of your brand across a variety of platforms, building trust and connection with customers and potential customers.
Content marketing costs less than traditional marketing but generates three times the leads.
Your brand is the first impression people have of your business, as well as an ongoing promise of your values and what you can offer that your competitors can’t.
If you don’t have a solid brand identity, potential customers will be confused, and they’ll move on to someone else.
Traditional advertising includes print, 直接邮件, 电视和广播, and any other type of marketing that’s not online.
Traditional advertising may make sense as part of your marketing plan, depending on the needs of your business.
“ Working with the Summit marketing team is just what our business needed. Being in business since 1995, our company relied on word of mouth and reputation marketing. Chris and the team took us to a new and more professional approach to expanding and growing our landscape & maintenance business. 新标识, professional brochures geared to residential and commercial clientele, and 直接邮件 has proved to be what we need in this down economy. Their ability to gear the marketing program to who we are as a company was fantastic. Their personal and guiding approach in developing our program was educational on my part, 直接, timely and cost effective. Summit Marketing Group is a real gem to our business community. ”

“ “We contracted with Summit to run Google and 脸谱网 ads for our “亨德森县 Recycles” program, which included encouraging residents to purchase discounted composting bins. Sales were lackluster until Summit’s strategic digital ad campaign launched. Our bin sales jumped from 60 to 360! In fact, we sold completely out. If you want to see results, go with Summit.” ”

“ What started out as a quest to have a creative firm build a website, became a lasting partnership built on successful outcomes. Chris and Marybeth Burns gathered our physicians together to understand what is at the heart of our 75 year-old family practice. What resulted was an Ask MAT branding campaign that was focused on communicating our practice feel through the customer’s eyes. Not only do we see new patients every week as a result of our marketing efforts, but our existing patients continually tell us how much they enjoy our informative ads. Now the website is just an extension of what has become a very targeted and focused comprehensive marketing initiative. ”
