Why They Chose SVM
Marnie Caldwell, Reed Manufacturing’s Marketing Director, reached out to SVM’s Founder Bob DeStefano in the fall of 2017 to discuss their online marketing efforts. Specifically, to get more out of their pay-per-click advertising campaign. As a B2B product manufacturer, Reed needed the help from a seasoned industrial marketing consultant like SVM that understands how to build a pipeline of high-quality leads for an industry that isn’t a one-size-fits-all marketing strategy.
In order to reach Reed’s goal, SVM completely overhauled their PPC campaign structure and conversion tracking strategy in November 2017. The new PPC campaign quickly yielded phenomenal results and we were able to actively manage and improve performance with clear analytics.
Since Bob’s initial conversation with Marnie, SVM has successfully worked with Reed Manufacturing to develop a results-focused pay per click marketing machine that is continuously being optimized. Nearly three months after the overhaul, conversions have increased by almost 100% and the cost per conversion has been cut in half – well, technically more than half (-59.4%).
