Top reasons for having a marketing team in a construction business:

There are a lot of reasons why you should implement marketing into your business plan and we have highlighted the best ways the team at Saint Global can support you when reaching your goals.

1. Create brand awareness.

Boosting a business' brand awareness has a multiplicative effect on client loyalty and acquisition. Brand awareness can be increased by advertising in places frequented by target audiences or competitors. Awareness is stage one to any marketing ploy, you have to build awareness, people have to learn of your name and what you do. This can be achieved in many ways from Facebook ads, to PR in the local area.

Consumers look for brands they are acquainted with whenever they need them, whether trying something new or going about their routines, making brand awareness an absolute must when marketing a construction company. When we say that people have "brand awareness" for a company, we imply that they are familiar with what that company has done in the past, what it is doing now, and what it plans to do in the future.

2. Build trust between your potential clients and the company.

Building trust between your business and your potential clients is essential to growth and prosperity. Building trust allows your potential clients to not only think of your business when they need the job done, but to know that you are the right team to do it correctly. It can distinguish between client contacts with your company and those with your competitors. Spreading the word about your brand is a crucial component of marketing. It helps prove that your company is trustworthy, truthful, ethical, and responsible.

In order to build trust with your customers, it's essential to have regular contact with them in which the correct messaging. Building trust takes time and dedication, it can happen through a various method of marketing tactics, such as previous work (discussed next), PR work, sponsoring events, word of mouth and so on.

3. Showcasing past work.

Your company's successes and past works are invaluable tools for marketing. It shows that when you say something like "superior customer service" or "top-notch services" on your construction business site, that you are not just "saying it" but you are proving it.

 

Showcasing past work through a portfolio allows potential customers to see proof of your work, it is always good to show the end result for most projects, the glamorous finished end product that customer is desiring, you can take it a step further and then show the project from start to finish in further detail.

 

4. Helps in making strategic decisions:

Working with a construction marketing team can really help you make strategic company decisions, if you are planning to reach and cover a new area, working with a marketing team can really support you create that new audience and extend your reach. If you are looking to employ more members to the workforce, but you are worried about have the right levels of workflow in place to cover their costs, working with a marketing team can help you strategically layout your options and more importantly, how you can achieve them.

 

5. Build your company reputation:
