Challenges

Before Cabinets Direct USA began working with Today’s Business, they had no documentation of website traffic or overall ROI for their marketing efforts. They had very little social media presence and a poorly designed website. They wanted to increase traffic to their brook and mortar stores, as well as increase awareness of stores to open. Prior to working with Today’s Business, they had been doing TV Advertising, Print Advertising, Billboards among other traditional forms of advertising. They had very minimal online presence and had trouble tracking what advertising efforts were effective, and which were not.

How Product Helped

Today’s Business not only increased their online footprint; we provided geo-targeted marketing efforts that helped successfully launch two new stores. Today’s Business has also developed a desktop and mobile version of their website.  As for social media, we have launched Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Google + and Houzz profiles.

In order to increase website traffic, Today’s Business has begun using Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine Marketing, Retargeting and Digital Media Buys.

By utilizing call tracking software and tracking programs, we are able to provide a clear ROI for almost all marketing efforts. This helps provide clear guidance for all future marketing efforts.

Cabinets Direct has transitioned its traditional marketing efforts to a complete digital effort throughout the duration of the campaign.
