Rebranding
Their existing branding was 10 years old. We reinvented them with a new colour scheme, modern fonts and a tagline that really epitomised what they stand for.
Smokeylemon gets results
No matter how flash your marketing looks, if it isn’t getting prospects to your door then it just flat out is not working for you. Smokeylemon has both the creative flair and the measured marketing genius to create campaigns that work.
Since late 2017 Smokeylemon has been the chosen agency for Latitude Homes, a national group home building company.
Smokeylemon have taken Latitude Homes from outside of the top 30 group home building companies in New Zealand in 2017 to be 18th in 2019 and 12th in 2020.
Latitude Homes engaged Smokeylemon to create a marketing strategy that would drive them into the top tier of group home builders in New Zealand. This involved:
Website overhaul & customisations
Introducing the new brand into the website plus some smart filtering and user experience we have made the visual experience more pleasing to the end user, which increased customer retention/returning visitors and more qualified sales enquiries.
Print materials and signage
From home show stands to show home signs the Latitude brand is consistently delivering the same message in which all franchisees live and breathe. They believe in their own brand which in turn exudes confidence to their customers. All print material is of high quality, just like their builds.
Centralised marketing CRM with automated marketing
Lead generation automation has been invaluable to the business. By filtering out 'tyre kickers' the sales team are only dealing with valuable, qualified leads. Automation and workflows dictate where the leads should go, and the customer's touch points with the brand are recorded, giving incredible insight.
National advertising
Marketing budgets require management. This means we have forecasted the marketing plan and can factor in expenses such as TV and full page newspaper ads in a controlled and planned way. Delivering the brand nationally with bulk buying power we can ensure each region is apportioned the allocated spend - no franchise gets left behind.
Client management and reporting
Detailed reports, broken into each region/franchise, are created, analysed and delivered every month. We monitor and measure marketing influence and website visitor behaviour whilst looking for peaks and trends, that give us the insights we can apply going forward. We have the privilege of presenting findings and future plans at their annual conference, as well as quarterly meetings face to face, strengthening the relationship between Smokeylemon and Latitude Homes.
