With any industry, understanding how to most effectively approach the market is crucial to growing a business. Construction is no different, yet with its multi layers and complexity it’s not a straightforward industry to market to. Often winning new business is relied on through word of mouth or simply by being the only contractor who has the skills for the job. However, with the digital world now engrained in everyday life, it’s crucial to ensure your business has a strong online presence to back up your offering and show you are ready to do business in 2023.
Compared to other industries, construction has been slow to catch-up when it comes to digital marketing. Many construction firms still lack a marketing plan and lead generation strategy, instead relying on their sales team to spend their time prospecting.
The fast pace of the online world means that if a business isn’t looking to invest resource in their digital presence, they will quickly get left behind their competitors. Although word of mouth is still the most common method of attracting new business in this industry, the way customers are sourcing contractors and construction companies is changing, with a shift towards online research prior to engaging.
However, many construction firms will be aware that when it comes to digital marketing, they don’t have the experience or resource to roll-out an effective strategy.
A partnership,
not just an agency
At SWW Marketing we understand that construction businesses do not want to hear what they are doing wrong and bombard with technical information and expensive solutions. We've found that most are looking for a partnership to support them in their marketing plans and strategies.
We believe in building strong partnerships with all of our clients so we can best understand their business and how to support and develop their brand.
We have grown up in the construction and manufacturing industry and as such realised that there was a real need to support construction companies of all sizes with their marketing, in particular their digital marketing.
