Key Takeaways

✦

Leverage CRM data in conjunction with traditional media campaigns to accurately track inbound leads, conversion rates, and profit margins, allowing for precise ROI measurement.

✦

For home service companies, broadcast TV offers unparalleled reach and cost-efficiency (low CPMs) for targeting homeowners over 35, making it a powerful channel for driving brand awareness and leads.

✦

Traditional media, especially TV, can put digital efforts 'on steroids' by increasing branded search and direct website traffic, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your marketing mix.

✦

Don't solely rely on last-touch attribution; analyze broader KPIs like web traffic spikes and conversion rates immediately after traditional media airings to understand their impact.

✦

When entering a new market or growing, consider an aggressive 'conquest' strategy with traditional media to gain market share, especially when competitors pull back their advertising spend.

✦

Budget roughly 50% of your marketing spend on 'scale' media like broadcast TV to effectively reach a broad audience, ensuring your brand stays top-of-mind.

✦

Utilize lead-generation calls-to-action in your traditional media, such as free estimates or special offers, to drive immediate intent and measurable leads, not just passive branding.
