Why should I advertise?
1. Create top of mind awareness and branding of your company through
your entire service area.
2. Train your prospective clients that the first call goes to you
when “DISASTERS HAPPEN” to them.
3. Lock into emergency work before it’s filtered and diluted
through the current claims supply system.
4. Increase your chances of securing phase II restoration projects.
5. Reduce reliance on the insurance industry to find your work.
6. Position and maintain your company as Number 1 in your marketplace
7. Secure first mover position creating permanent barriers to entry
by competitors.
8. Increase odds of being selected on DRP programs.
9. Increase odds of generating more jobs by 20%-50%
10. Reduce the need for marketing personnel and associated expenses.
How do I know my competitor can’t use the same ads?
In the United States, there are 210 Designated Market Areas (DMA’s).
DMA’s are divided by population size and correspond to the
reach of network television. When your company purchases the “DISASTERS
HAPPEN”SM television spots, no other competitor in your DMA
can run the same “DISASTERS HAPPEN”SM television campaign.
Being the first contractor to utilize the tremendous power of media
puts you in a very strong and secure position. Don’t give
up this opportunity for “first mover position” to your
competitors. Take the time now to secure this critical to marketing
option to reap significant future rewards while at the same time
setting up barriers of entry for all your competitors. Please contact
our sales representative to see if your DMA is available.
How much money should I allocate for marketing
and advertising?
Every company has individual needs, so there is no magic formula
that works for everyone. However, the industry standard usually
allocates 3% of revenue to advertising and marketing. We find that
this is often a good place to start. Using the money allocated,
we then look at how much should go toward television, radio, print,
billboards, brochures and public relations. Those numbers depend
on your specific market and your specific needs. We consider all
of those factors when hen we put together our recommendations.
