It feels so fulfilling when a relationship grows from a vendor to a partner to an extension of the core team. Phonak - one of the largest hearing aid manufacturers in the US - has been one such example. We have worked with the team for 8+ years now and it has been nothing short of a rewarding experience - for all involved!

The cherry to the cake - actually seeing concrete and unambiguous sales growth through building relationships with prospects that start with trust and then with the credibility to deliver on the trust! Very much appreciate the opportunity and the relationship, Bill. Thank-you!

View Your Website As a Lead-Generation Tool

In our experience at StratMg, company websites do more than just provide information about a company. They serve as your company’s identity and a predictable lead generation channel.

But potential customers first have to SEE and then VISIT your website.

A potential customer visit to your website to gather information certainly raises the chances that that visitor may contact your company, turning themself into a viable sales lead.

While working with VMC Chinese Parts, a critical part of our strategy involved recalibrating the website to ensure easy indexing by all search engine crawlers, consequently meaning higher website visibility in Google and other search engine searches, thus increasing potential customer visits and potential sales leads.

Most Online Content Not Captured by Search Engines; Underscores Necessity of SEO

Most articles, blog posts, sales pages, and other web pages do not rank in search engine results, meaning they do not pull in traffic–and as a result are not being read by target audiences.

These findings simply underscore the importance of search engine optimization (SEO) as part of a manufacturer’s marketing strategy.

Given that 80% of major purchases begin with online research, if the right content is created, optimized and promoted, our experience has shown us that it will attract audience traffic, enhance brand awareness and build customer trust, ultimately resulting in lead generation.

Your ‘Look’ Says a Lot About Your Brand

A “brand” helps people identify and shape people's perceptions of companies, products, or individuals.

Your brand helps you form an identity that results in a deeper relationship with your customers and potential customers because it resonates with them.

So, make sure you’re positioning your brand the way you want to be understood or remembered.

Even when it comes to something as seemingly insignificant as choosing fonts for your website, remember that they will become an integral part of your brand identity. Some fonts can ruin the overall aesthetic of your brand and make it appear unprofessional.

To Be Effective, Be Balanced

Based on our 10+ years of developing marketing and sales strategies for manufacturers, a marketing plan needs a balance of the old and the new.

Too much old and organizations miss out on the latest innovations in technology and marketing channels. Too much new, and they miss out on decades of many proven principles of marketing 101.

The trick is maintaining the right balance.

Zig Ziggler puts it best - “if you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.” Almost half of manufacturers don’t have a specific goal for lead generation. Say what? That’s blasphemy!

A few lead generation goals for all manufacturing companies to think about:

1. Business strategy

a. Diversification
b. Off-set Seasonality

2. Sales growth

a. Focus on high volume - low profitable areas of growth
b. Or, low volume but highly profitable areas

3. Tactical ex*****on

a. Customer Retention
b. Customer Acquisition

At StratMg, business context must be mapped to a measurable growth strategy. We’re hoping you do the same with the internal constituents within your organization that you need to work with and/or with your ecosystem.

Don’t Get Stuck Looking Inside, Look Outside Too

StratMg helped iron foundry Lemfco Inc. identify opportunities for sales growth through the use of search engine optimization (SEO).

Lemfco was growing at a predictable rate year-over-year via customer retention and referral business.
