How did we implement our strategies?

Our strategy was focused on increasing the awareness of their brand and delivering quality pipeline, sales-ready leads. Here’s how we went about it…

1. Performance Branding & LeadTech

The insights gathered from our campaign fuelled our experimentation. With more than 60% of leads completing their profile, we were able to paint a clearer picture for Frasers Property of their audience: including financial status, household structure, preferred land size and budget.

Through LeadTech we created a conversion optimized lead capture page to generate and SMS verify leads as well as gather initial information on the prospects’ intent. By aligning the best performing advertising and landing page messaging we provided a seamless and optimized experience for the prospect to drive performance. We followed this with progressive profiling, to capture multiple data points on each lead and ultimately arm the sales team with a wealth of data to personalize and support the sales journey.

2. LeadConvert

We leveraged the Social Garden call center to ensure we had a super speedy lead to call time, as we know that is the most effective way to move the needle in the lead to appointment conversion rate. We combined this with the implementation of Calendly to seamlessly and directly book appointments in with the appropriate sales consultants and support the customer with a smooth and helpful process, and best of all, any data collected was integrated instantly into the CRM.

3. Marketing Automation

We developed two nurture streams based on the segmentation of the leads. A profiling nurture enabled us to ensure maximum data enrichment on all leads, with the other Welcome nurture providing a positive and informative customer experience through email for every new lead added to the CRM – and providing every opportunity for these leads to book an appointment with the sales team. Utilising technically savvy round-robin lead routing automation.
