BUSINESS MARKETING TACTICS GUIDE

Social Media PRESENCE

  • We'll help you establish a strong social media presence by setting up dynamic Instagram and Facebook business profiles for your blasting business.
  • With the power of social media, you can showcase your blasting projects to potential customers without any special equipment. All you need is your trusty cell phone to snap pictures and easily post them. It's a great way to build credibility and attract new clients to your business.
  • Not only will you have access to your social media accounts indefinitely, but we'll also take care of posting for you once a week for an entire year. This will help keep your online presence active and engaging. (See Example Posts).
  • Having an active social media presence is a great way to impress potential customers and build credibility for your blasting business. Read more tips on how to get the most from your social media profiles.

BUILDING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

Think about the content your potential customers would like to see — that means things like:

  • Videos of you blasting your latest project
  • Before and after photos showing off your great work
  • Any specials or promotions you may be offering

Think of your social media profiles as an extension of your portfolio. It's a great opportunity to win over potential customers and build trust.

Imagine you are choosing between two businesses:

  1. One has no website, no social media profiles, and no examples of their work.
  2. The other is active on social media and always posts lots of photos and videos of their current jobs. You scroll through their pictures and realize they've already done lots of similar projects, and it's clear they did great work.

Which one would you pick?

Aim to be like the second business in this example. Remember to take lots of photos before, during, and after the job. If you have a helper, ask him to film you blasting or vice versa. You don't need any fancy equipment for this — your mobile phone will work just fine,  and makes it easy to post directly to social media platforms.

"YEAH, MY FACEBOOK PAGE HAS GOT ME A FEW JOBS. I SHARE THE HECK OUT OF IT ON MY PERSONAL PAGE, FRIENDS DO THE SAME FOR ME. GETS THE WORD AROUND MY LOCAL AREA. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY MACHINE FOR 6 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH IT."

 Troy R, Business Owner

STAY CONNECTED WITH MESSAGES

It's important to have a conversation with your potential customers when they reach out to you. In fact, 48% of consumers say that when a company is responsive on social media, it will prompt them to make a purchase (source: Sprout Social).

Be sure to reply to your comments, and answer inquiries through Facebook Messenger and Instagram direct messages. 

DIGITAL Advertising

Incorporating print marketing materials into your strategy is a smart and cost-effective way to reach new customers. Not only do they catch the eye with creative designs, but their durability ensures that potential clients can hold onto them for future reference. By utilizing print materials, businesses can establish a long-lasting presence in the minds of potential customers without breaking the bank. Check out our online store for some great options to expand your customer base.

GOOGLE ADS

Google Ads allows you to target specific keywords or phrases to show your ad to potential customers who are actively searching for your services. This means that your business will be displayed to those who are most likely to convert into paying customers. Google Ads look similar to regular search results and are typically positioned at the top of the page, providing maximum visibility. Unlike unsolicited ads, Google Ads are relevant to what people are searching for, making them more likely to engage with your business. Here's a full explanation.

The Dustless Blasting® Premium Online Presence™ already includes a 3-month, $1,100 value advertising campaign that we'll set up and manage for you. Once the 3 months is over, you have the option to renew your ads with a one-time payment or subscribe and save to keep your ads running.

Our team strategically sets up the location for your ads to be displayed, targeting your city and nearby areas. With our advertising expertise, we carefully select the keywords that bring in the most results and continuously optimize your campaign for maximum effectiveness. You can also request industry-specific targeting to ensure your ads reach the audience that matters most to your business.

We understand that launching a business is no easy feat, and your time is too valuable to be spent navigating the complexities of advertising. Leave it to us, and free yourself up to focus on providing exceptional service to your customers. Trust in our expert marketing services to take your blasting business to the next level while you tend to what truly matters.
