Meet the Client: Pro World Industries

When Pro World Industries purchased an RV business with no prior marketing, they needed a modern brand and immediate results. Marketing EQ delivered a full marketing trifecta: branding, direct mail, and website redevelopment.

The results speak for themselves: A $5,000 campaign generated $50,000+ in revenue in the first week as disengaged customers returned.

By reinvesting into marketing, ProWorld Industries saw year-over-year growth of 9–23% and 10x local search traffic in key areas.

"What I really appreciate about Marketing EQ is the level of ownership and accountability they take for their efforts… Their very first promotion for us in 2019 gave us a 900% return on investment in only one week." – Mike Montgomery, Owner, Pro World Industries

Your brand deserves designs that inspire and build trust. 🎨🖌️

Great branding is more than a bold logo. It’s about shaping a consistent experience across every customer touchpoint. Without that consistency, trust begins to slip.

One of the best tools for maintaining a consistent brand voice is a branding guidelines document. Think of it as your brand’s playbook, which covers everything from logo use and color sets to tone of voice, mission statements, and core values. As your company grows, the guidelines grow with you, keeping every design, message, and vendor on track.

✨ Clear branding builds trust. Here are some examples!

Research proves it: companies that keep advertising during a recession don’t just survive, they thrive.

One landmark study found that brands maintaining ad efforts saw a nearly 340% increase in sales just six years later. 📈

In a quiet marketplace, even modest investments go further. The brands that stay visible now will lead tomorrow.

Are you ready to protect your market share and find new clients?

What is “Beloved Community”? Let us join Dr. King in keeping his Dream alive

Dr. Martin Luther King imagined a different future for America — one he called the “Beloved Community.” Building the Beloved Community requires a key shift in human understanding.

It means looking beyond external differences to see the union of all humankind. It also means finding a way to deal with our grievances without animosity, in a way that recognizes the interconnectedness of all humanity. Then we can move forward together, in a more just and verdant fashion. Please join me in loving all creation as yourself.

What do you need to know before you develop a social media strategy?

Determine what value you can add to your readers on subjects related to your business or industry?

To create avid fans, find topics related to your industry and create custom content.

People connect with people they like. Don't oversell, and make sure you find topics that are interesting and helpful.

Here's an example of one page we manage:

https://www.facebook.com/ProRVRepairVancouver

For this client, what their customers don't know will hurt them, so we focus on education and inspections. Also, travel is important, so in 2023 we created a few custom trips. Since this client is growing their business, we also use it for recruitment too. It's hard to find good help!

We created a DIY guide for winterizing a vehicle. These are time-intensive for Pro RV Repair to perform, and they slow down turn-times, so it makes sense to empower the customer to do these on their own, when possible.

To quantify success, and the get the most mileage for this "campaign", this post is linked to a landing page on the website, then it's connected to a form fill, and once completed, the download is available, and the user is directed to a different landing page. From there, the user can use the online version on their phone or download the document to print it out.

The document is also a printed document that is placed on the counter in the shop for customers to access. And, an email included this offering as well for customers who haven't visited in a while.

Again - adding value to the reader / fan / subscriber - this is the goal! AND, you get new email addresses so you can ask them to subscribe to future mailings, and you can see how the campaign performs in analytics!

As the superheroes of Planetclark.com say "Bam! Done!"

If you’re ready to take your organization’s web presence to the next level, congratulations! But how do you hire the right web firm? In 2022, having a functional, well-designed website is a must. This requires many steps across several disciplines – from content creation to design to upkeep once your site is launched.

To assess the quality of a web firm’s work, start by visiting their clients’ sites and being a critic. Here are just a few of the most obvious things to take note of:

- Formatting. Do the words fall off the edge of the page? Are there huge gaps between the content blocks? Are the fonts, colors and other style choices used inconsistent across the website? These are indicators of a company’s design ethic – sloppy margins and inconsistent fonts often indicate that the design is novice, at best.

- Content. Is the content professionally-written and engaging? There are many businesses with blogs out there, and simply publishing articles is not enough. Does the firm you’re considering highlight their clients’ areas of excellence?

- Site Construction. Is the site slow to load? Are there broken links, missing pages or forms that don’t work properly? In the case of a slow website – perhaps images uploaded to the site were not properly sized and there are no image compression features on the site. Perhaps the site navigation was not set up properly, leading to broken links and dead ends. Errors like these can be indicators of poor planning and shoddy quality control.

- Branding. Are the colors just not “jiving”? Are the fonts hard to read? Do the logo and messaging seem dated or inconsistent? This is likely a case of incomplete branding. Branding is how you convey your organization’s values, “personality” and mission to the world. It is non-negotiable for a stand-out online presence.

Your objective is to get a feel for a firm’s sense of quality control and attention to detail. Quality control is important, from start to finish. If it’s overlooked, then “finished” will never feel like finished, and yet you may not know why! We hear this a lot from new customers.

It's the , a time for new growth and possibilities…and time to tell a new story.

That’s right - today also happen to be . We invite you to tell yourself new stories about what is possible for your life, your loved ones, your business and the world around you. What opportunities are flowing into your life?

As a “content first” company, MEQ believes storytelling is the foundation of unique connections and an opportunity for aligning your interest, values and mission.

I’ve been writing stories for clients since 1988. This year I thought it was high time I began my personal journey with writing. About eight weeks ago, I joined an Artist’s Way Group with my friend Heather.

First you sign a contract with yourself to honor, nurture and grow your inner artist (we all have one). After that, you commit to writing three pages every day. The writing can be anything you want, but you are not allowed to censor or judge it. I have never been one to journal. I think I judged my writing before it even landed on the page.

This exercise has put me in touch with some very important stories in my life that have been buried away. As a result, I have been writing more music with lyrics, which is a change from my standard instrumentals. What a joy it has been to discover more of my voice! I’ve been seeing the benefits in my business and personal life.

What Julia Cameron invites us to do is JUST WRITE, no matter what it is. What stories are hidden beneath the surface that need to be told in your life? It’s healing (and emotional), transformative (your deepest passions emerge), and you may see yourself in a new light.

Wishing you a season of growth and boundless possibilities - Julie
