The Challenge
Socomec had three primary goals when they reached out to New Perspective. The mission was to:
Improve The Quality and Quantity of SIte Traffic
The biggest obstacle to Socomec’s success was its digital presence and visibility in search. The website wasn’t generating the leads and revenue it needed to grow.
Improve Conversion Rates
“We were barely getting any online visibility for the most relevant search phrases. Our user experience needed work, and few of our visitors were converting into prospects,” said Cragan.
Target the right US audience with Inbound Marketing
“Socomec’s marketing approach was also a major roadblock. “We were completely unfamiliar with inbound marketing,” explained Cragan. “Our website lacked strategy, and we didn’t know how to address our modern buyer’s needs.”
What our partnership delivered:
New Perspective completely redesigned Socomec’s website to improve its brand messaging. Downloadable offers such as ebooks and white papers were added to encourage conversion.
“The redesigned website is a big improvement over the old site,” said Cragan. “It is mobile responsive, user-friendly, attractive, has conversion points, and our traffic has increased dramatically.”
In order to help them hit their company goals for the year, we:
LAUNCHED A FULLY REDESIGNED AND MODERNIZED WEBSITE.
CREATED A CONTENT STRATEGY TO SPEAK TO THEIR MULTIPLE BUYER PERSONAS.
DEVELOPED A PLAN TO ALIGN MARKETING AND SALES.
The Results
For the first time, Socomec implemented blogging as part of their strategy. We created various types of blogs that would address the issues faced by their ideal partners. Socomec went from never publishing content to publishing multiple audience-targeted blogs per month!
In just over two years, Socomec’s online presence in the US drastically transformed. And the numbers don’t lie:
