How Much Can Your Remodeling Biz Afford to Spend on Marketing? (Hint: it’s not X% of revenue)

Calculate your average project's gross margin to understand a customer's true worth, as this is the basis for your marketing investment.

Adopt an 'investment' mindset for marketing, expecting a return rather than viewing it as a mere expense, aiming for a 3:1 (or higher) return on marketing spend.

Implement the 'Attract, Convert, Nurture, Measure' framework for your marketing strategy, ensuring each component is addressed for a complete system.

Develop lead magnets (e.g., cost guides, webinars) to capture information from the 96% of website visitors who are researching, allowing for long-term nurturing.

Consistently nurture your leads and past clients through email, providing value-first content (like project spotlights) with subtle calls to action.

Prioritize accurate tracking of lead sources and client acquisition costs; software can help, but manual tracking is better than none.

Leverage your existing customer database by sending personalized, value-driven emails to generate immediate project opportunities, as this is your 'warmest' audience.
