Do you ever feel like your marketing is just a series of one-off tactics, each screaming for attention but never really working together? If your website is a ghost town and your ads feel like money down the drain, it’s time to rethink the way you market. Enter the holistic digital marketing strategy. This approach unifies your marketing efforts into a lead-generating machine. Unlike piecemeal tactics, a holistic strategy ensures every piece of your marketing puzzle fits together seamlessly. The result? Greater visibility, higher-quality leads, and more closed deals for your remodeling or building business.
Builder Funnel only does digital marketing, and we only serve builders and remodelers, so we know whereof we speak. Over the past 15 years, we’ve sharpened every tool in our marketing arsenal and curated the best tactics in this ever-changing space. Today, we’ll explore why it’s time to ditch the siloed approach and embrace the power of holistic digital marketing.
A holistic digital marketing strategy is like the general contractor of your marketing efforts. Instead of managing isolated tactics, like running a single ad campaign or writing the occasional blog, it pulls everything together into one cohesive system that serves a clear goal and delivers results.
When these channels work together, you’re everywhere your audience already is, and they’re happy to see you. Your marketing efforts become more than the sum of their parts. Imagine a prospect seeing your Instagram ad, clicking through to a blog post on your website, downloading a cost guide via email, and later receiving a retargeting ad with your project spotlights.
You’ve likely heard the phrase ‘work smarter, not harder.’ That’s exactly what a holistic digital marketing strategy helps you do. By aligning your efforts, you’ll get more leads, better ROI, and the flexibility to pivot when needed.
When your website, ads, emails, and social posts tell the same story, potential clients know exactly who you are and what you stand for. This consistency builds trust, critical in an industry where projects often come with hefty price tags. I
With a holistic approach, data from one channel informs the others, so your marketing dollars go further. For example, if a piece of content performs well organically, you can promote it with paid ads, driving even more traffic and leads. This creates a feedback loop that amplifies your success without extra guesswork.
A cohesive strategy attracts leads who are more likely to convert. Personalized and cohesive touchpoints like targeted ads and emails make leads feel seen, valued, and educated before your first conversation and increase the likelihood of closing.
When your channels are interconnected, it’s easier to pivot when customer preferences or market conditions shift. Whether it’s responding to new design trends or shifting your strategy during a slow season, a unified system keeps you agile and competitive.
Ever felt like your marketing is stuck in a game of whack-a-mole? Running one-off campaigns here and there might work for a moment, but it’s not enough to grow your remodeling or building business long-term. Let’s explore what’s going wrong.
Inconsistent messaging across channels can confuse potential customers. Imagine your Instagram ads focus on high-end design, but your website emphasizes affordability. A branding mismatch leads prospects to question your reliability.
When each tactic operates in a vacuum, it’s hard to see the bigger picture of what’s working. This often leads to wasted money on channels or campaigns that aren’t contributing to your goals. Without a holistic view, measuring your overall effectiveness is nearly impossible.
Relying on isolated tactics might yield small wins, but eventually, you’ll plateau. Your marketing efforts need to work together like a well-oiled machine to scale your business effectively. Without that clear plan, growth becomes harder and more expensive to achieve.
Picture this: you’ve invested in Google Ads, but your landing pages aren’t optimized to capture leads. Or your social media campaigns drive clicks, but you don’t have a retargeting strategy. When channels don’t work together, you leave money on the table.
The beauty of a holistic digital marketing strategy is that you don’t need to start from scratch. Chances are, you’re already using some of the right tools. Now, it’s time to connect the dots. Here’s how to build a strategy that scales.
Think about how your ideal customers move through the decision-making process. Are they searching for design ideas? Researching costs? In our experience, cost and design are folks' top questions when hiring a builder or remodeler. Use these insights to create content and campaigns that align with their journey.
Ensure that your messaging, visuals, and offers are consistent across platforms. If someone clicks on an Instagram ad for kitchen remodeling, they should land on a service page that reflects the same tone and value proposition.
You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. Begin by aligning two or three channels—like promoting high-performing blogs with email campaigns and social posts. As you see results, expand to include paid ads.
Set up analytics tools to monitor performance across channels. This data will help you see what’s working, where leads are dropping off, and how to refine your approach.
Marketing isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. Once your channels are working together, monitor their performance and make adjustments as needed. The beauty of a holistic strategy is that it’s adaptable, so you can pivot based on what the data tells you.
Wading deep into the marketing weeds may not be the best use of your time. Consider hiring a marketing agency like Builder Funnel to create and manage a strategy that drives results while freeing you up to focus on your business.
