Marketing Challenge
CPQ has enjoyed steady success since its inception nine years ago. However, CPQ’s principle Chris Brody came to To Market with a wish to build a more pro-active marketing strategy to increase CPQ’s profile amongst its target groups, in particular with corporate clients. CPQ therefore required a strategy and subsequent marketing plan that would help to better engage with targeted groups with the aim of securing new bookings.
Approach
To Market proposed the creation of a systemised method of engagement, follow up and contact maintenance with specific target groups.
This took the form of:
- a programme of social media engagement that identified event management planners, influencers and specific venues.
- Tailored email marketing campaign directed at specially identified targets, i.e. entertainment agents,hotels, cruise ships.
Results
During the campaign the focus shifted from a tailored social media campaign on Twitter and Facebook to future client research for targeted campaigning
- At the height of social media campaign for a 4-week period Facebook showed that page engagement was up by 433.3% and the weekly total reach of the CPQ page went up by 711.1%.
- Mailing list growth from a single list that included family and friends to sector lists gained through specialist research and contact mining.
