Client: BS&R Birchills Sculptures and Metal Restoration
Services: Digital Marketing Plan
Overview: In my recent project, I developed a comprehensive digital marketing plan for BS&R Birchills, a company specialising in sculptures and metal restoration. This plan was designed to enhance their online presence, attract a broader audience, and ultimately drive sales and engagement. To achieve these objectives, I utilised several strategic marketing models, including AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action), STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning), and DAMP (Differentiation, Accessibility, Measurability, and Profitability).
Key Components of the Marketing Plan:
- AIDA Model:
- Attention: To capture the audience’s attention, I proposed leveraging visually engaging content, including high-quality images and videos of the sculptures and restoration processes. Social media campaigns and SEO-optimised blog posts were recommended to increase visibility.
- Interest: To maintain interest, I suggested creating informative content about the history and craftsmanship behind the sculptures. Engaging storytelling and behind-the-scenes looks at the restoration process would be shared via blog posts and social media.
- Desire: To foster desire, I recommended showcasing customer testimonials and case studies highlighting the quality and uniqueness of BS&R Birchills’ work. Special promotions and limited-time offers were also part of the strategy.
- Action: Clear calls-to-action (CTAs) were incorporated across all digital platforms to encourage potential customers to make inquiries, request quotes, or visit the showroom.
- STP Model:
- Segmentation: The target market was segmented based on demographics, psychographics, and behaviour. Key segments included art collectors, interior designers, and historical building restorers.
- Targeting: A focused targeting strategy was devised to reach high-potential customer segments through tailored content and advertising campaigns.
- Positioning: BS&R Birchills was positioned as a leader in high-quality sculptures and meticulous metal restoration, emphasising their expertise and attention to detail.
- DAMP Model:
- Differentiation: The plan highlighted BS&R Birchills’ unique selling propositions (USPs), such as their bespoke craftsmanship and historical restoration expertise.
- Accessibility: Strategies to make the company’s offerings easily accessible were proposed, including a user-friendly website, responsive customer service, and active social media engagement.
- Measurability: Key performance indicators (KPIs) were established to measure the effectiveness of the marketing efforts, such as website traffic, social media engagement, and conversion rates.
- Profitability: The plan included a cost-benefit analysis to ensure that marketing activities would result in a profitable return on investment (ROI).
Implementation: The digital marketing plan was structured into a phased approach, starting with an initial audit of the current digital presence, followed by the implementation of the AIDA, STP, and DAMP strategies. Regular reviews and adjustments were scheduled to ensure ongoing optimisation and success.
Results: Although still in the early stages, the plan has already shown promising results, with increased website traffic and social media engagement. The next phase aims to convert this increased interest into tangible sales and long-term customer relationships.
This project demonstrates my ability to apply strategic marketing models to real-world business challenges, driving measurable results and contributing to the growth and success of a unique and specialised company like BS&R Birchills.
