When you sell design services, there are a few things you need to think about. Your salespeople play a very important part. You won't be able to keep in touch with potential clients if you don't have a good sales plan.
But how do you get the conversation started? You can make sales with cold calls and other methods. Some people, though, would rather not make touch this way. In fact, people who could have become clients for your business might turn away if you call them out of the blue.
So, you need some strategies for marketing for architecture companies. Your marketing will get you in front of people who are interested in your business because of what you say about it. Marketing is less direct than sales, but it lets you build your brand and tell possible clients about it.
There are a lot of different ways to sell architecture out there. The key is to put them all together into a single marketing plan. This is very important for new businesses. If you don't have a good marketing plan, you might not be able to cut into the market share that your rivals have. Companies that are already doing well need to keep selling themselves, too, if they want to keep doing well.
So, where should you start? Here are 10 ways that architecture companies can market themselves.
Plan 1: Use social media.
Don't forget how important internet marketing is for architecture firms. If you use them right, those free social media pages can help you find new clients.
The worst thing you can do is make a social media page and then do nothing with it. Any fans you get early on will leave, and you won't be able to get any more.
Instead, you need a full business plan for social media. You also need to think about the site itself. For example, LinkedIn is a social network for business people. So, you should use it to meet people and show that you are an expert in the field. Pinterest, on the other hand, is a network for sharing pictures. It can be used to show pictures from your portfolio that might get people talking about you.
If you use social media, you might have a leg up on your competitors. After all, many architecture companies don't use their social media accounts to their full potential. This leaves a hole in the market that you can use to build up your company's name and image.
Strategy #2: Figure out where you stand.
People may talk about the four P's of marketing for builders. This structure shows the four most important things builders should think about when making their marketing plans.
One of the "P's" is your place in the market. You need to be clear about who you are and what you can do for your clients.
A quick look at the websites of some architecture companies will show you how not to use this P. Many businesses try to do many things at once. In order to get some clients, they will show every type of architecture there is. But this strategy gives the idea that the company might not be good. "A jack of all trades is a master of none" is an old saying that says this. It works really well in this case.
You should not do this. Set up your spot early on to do this. Tell possible clients what you do best and show them examples of your work. Yes, some clients might not need that service. But those who do will be more likely to choose your company over one that does a lot of different things because you have a strong market place.
Strategy #3: Use services that bring in leads
Lead generation services may be one of the older ways for architecture companies to market themselves, but they do work. In fact, a lot of people say that this is the fastest way to sell in the field.
There are different ways to get leads. One of the most well-known is cold calls. A company will get information about tens of thousands of people. Using this information and the information you give about your business, they will call people to try to get them interested in your services. It is a straight marketing method that does work. But it can also turn people off if they don't want a phone call to interrupt them.
Digital marketing is used by other companies that generate leads.
