Let's talk about how to attract clients to a construction company. The main problem that businessmen and marketers face in this niche is finding a potential client. Who is this person who is interested in your services? Drawing up a portrait is the first stage and the most important stone in the foundation of attraction.

The construction niche is quite wide. Here, all buyers can be divided into many groups, and some cannot be classified at all. But let's highlight some of them:

• Those who want to build their own home or renovate it. This ordinary people, members of the earning middle class and above. We take into account the cost of construction in your region and draw up a portrait, as well as a scale of the buyer’s potential income. This will also help you in your pricing policy.
• Those involved in construction. If your company does not build structures, but only supplies materials for construction, then your clients are construction companies, as well as individuals who build themselves. Here you need to focus on both the B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to customer) sectors
• Companies that develop entire areas of residential buildings, both private and multi-family. This is also B2B, but it is highly “picky” about the quality of delivered products and deadlines. But the potential income here is higher, since purchases are usually wholesale. Please note that such cooperation is long-term in nature, which means you can plan your income column

There are already a lot of construction companies now, and almost every day there are even more. Of course, because demand creates supply, and more and more people are now thinking about a “house in the village”. Only now, with increasing competition, the level of sales of most construction companies has remained the same as 20 years ago. Unless, “for some reason” the site was made.

Let's figure out what needs to be done to construction company get clients from one of the most effective sources today - the Internet?

Website development for construction services

Of course, as elsewhere, for online advertising to work, you first need to create a website. Many companies have already passed this stage and have “www.company.ru” on their business cards, and the typical phrases on their website are “roofing work, facade work, construction of houses and baths.” You know, any person hearing “construction company” assumes the possibility of ordering construction, facade and roofing work (and a number of others) there. Those. By simply posting a banal list of services on your website, you are in no way ahead of your competitors.

To properly design website sections, you need to decide what you want to focus on in sales. These can be individual services or complex construction. Of course, everyone needs all the clients, but it’s still worth prioritizing. By the way, in some cases it makes sense to make management of priority areas - depending on the season, a different set of services may be of interest to your users.

If your main focus is on complex construction, then the focus of users will be on examples and prices. Any person who starts construction, first of all, needs to look at what you can do, what it might look like and approximately how much money is needed for it.
If the user likes your offer at this stage, then the site should then process the conversion correctly and transfer the client to your manager.

If the emphasis is on individual services, they need to be structured - “roofing work” is one thing, “replacing roofing felt with metal tiles”, “replacing lathing with overlapping corrugated sheets”, etc. is another. You need to select works that are often asked and highlight them separately - so that the user does not guess what exactly you include in roofing work.

Moreover, it is advisable to orient the user in terms of price and timing. Thus, by giving him the most specific information on his question, you will already be ahead of your competitors.

Selling elements on the website of a construction company

So, the user on your site saw the information he was interested in. Now the site should receive the contacts of this user for further processing by the manager.

This problem cannot be solved “one-time” - conversion elements of the site are processed on an ongoing basis, based on analytics data of user behavior and efficiency advertising campaigns. Today, web development resources have a huge number of services and technologies that allow you to collect contact information of interested users - this includes a call back, all kinds of forms and widgets, and the ability to “catch up” with the user with advertising after he leaves for another attempt at conversion.

Pay attention to the consultation section (the name may be different). On a site like this, a section that allows you to ask a question and get an answer is an indispensable thing for communicating with potential clients. These should be public questions with answers so that new users can see old questions. Someone may ask about the composition for mixing concrete for the foundation, someone will ask about the selection of additional elements for siding - the answers to these questions will not bring you profit right away, but with the right approach, the manager who answers the question can make the user a client.

Don’t forget that in this section the manager’s reaction speed is fundamental. If you do not want to waste time and answer questions daily (if they come so often), it is better not to develop this section.

How much does it cost to optimize an existing sales website?

Sales audit of an existing website

Attracting users to a construction company’s website

So, you have a modern, beautiful, selling website, with cool technologies and unlimited possibilities. But in order for there to be sales, you need to attract interested people to the site. In general, the list of possible sources is the same for any field of activity:

Let's start with promotion in organic search engine results. Everything is simple here - typical requests like “construction of turnkey houses”, “construction of wooden cottages”, etc., however, in some regions, promotion of such requests can be quite long and expensive. We must understand that in contextual advertising such requests will be very expensive, so with proper promotion you can get traffic much cheaper than from context.

Contextual advertising on partner sites (YAN in Direct) can be shown based on information requests. If, for example, a person is looking for “how to prepare concrete for a foundation,” if it makes sense to provide him with foundation construction services. If he is looking for “how long does it take for concrete to dry in a foundation,” you can offer him the assembly of a log house on a finished foundation. This advertising must be in the advertising network, because... Search campaigns like these can be very expensive and ineffective.

Targeted advertising, for example, VKontakte. This advertising is quite an interesting tool that allows you to very specifically address target audience. the main task- understand the places where it accumulates. The most primitive are groups and communities dedicated to cottage villages. More difficult are public pages like “ideas for landscaping a country house”, “projects of country houses and cottages”, etc. By taking the active audience from there, you can get interested users. Again, many of them will be “dreamers” who do not plan construction, but simply dream. Thus, it is necessary to conduct testing and, perhaps, attract users not to the selling page of the site, but to the company group in the same social network, transferring the interested user to the place of their constant advertising.

How much does advertising and website promotion cost?

The cost of these services varies greatly in different regions. For example, promotion in one region can cost the same as a full range of services in another.

In connection with the aggravation of “chronic” construction, trade in building materials has again risen to the peak of relevance. In general, we can say that this is an eternal topic, because to one degree or another people are constantly being built.

Vadim, the picture just doesn’t add up in my head.

Options.

1. The manager needed an experienced manager who could independently raise the bending direction. You signed up for this. And they were able to convince him that you don’t have experience specifically in selling cement, but you have great potential! In fact, it turns out to be zilch. You misled him. His expectations were deceived.
You lack basic competencies in this area. Which are very difficult to purchase in a couple of months. It is these competencies that distinguish a newbie from an experienced salesperson. There's a reason why experienced managers are paid 3-5 times more than newbies. What do you recommend? You are waiting for someone to advise you here: do it once, do it twice, do it three. Most likely this will not happen, because in EVERY specific situation it is necessary to do differently. And it takes a lot of time to figure out exactly your situation.

The repair season lasts throughout the warm period of the year and subsides only in October-November, depending on the weather. Although small Finishing work and plumbing repairs can be carried out all year round.

Today we decided to figure out what repair work is most in demand this summer, where to look for customers, how to protect yourself when making payments, and how you can earn extra money.

But there were many offers for visiting workers who gather at the construction “labor exchange” at the Vokzalnaya metro station or at the entrance to the Wallpaper Market. Trying...

Tip 3: Apartment renovation: do it yourself or hire workers?

The choice of renovation method in an apartment - on your own or by invited specialists - largely depends on financial opportunities family, as well as the perception of this event.

DIY repairs or hire workers? Determining factors

It can be very difficult to make a decision when solving a serious issue. Repairing an apartment or house falls into the category of complex and responsible work, so naturally the dilemma of whether to do it yourself or turn to professionals with experience arises in almost all families. There are several significant points that influence this decision.

When thinking about renovations in a house or apartment, first objectively determine the premises in which you plan to carry it out, and also objectively assess the volume of work required.

Cosmetic repairs involve one or more of the following changes: wallpapering, ceiling painting, flooring replacement, etc. Major repairs are a set of actions to restore, replace and eliminate worn-out elements of property. Usually it includes a complete reconstruction of the communication and electrical systems, windows and doors, alignment of walls, ceilings, and floors. Accordingly, in the first case you can cope on your own, but in the second you will have to use, at least partially, the services of specialists, otherwise the result may require rework, which will result in a large sum for the family.

This choice is of great importance financial position. This is evidenced by sociological research data, according to which the majority of Russians carry out repair work on their own only due to a lack of funds. Indeed, depending on the region of residence, the cost of cosmetic repairs performed by the company starts from 2000 rubles/sq.m, and overhaul- from 3500 rub.

The personal characteristics of people are also largely decisive. Some consider repairs a natural disaster, while others consider them the beginning of a new life. Therefore, the first category will most likely trust the professionals, and the second will make their own efforts to restore order.

After an objective analysis of the material and psychological components, the most suitable method for carrying out repairs usually emerges.

Description:

Do you have a question about how, in such conditions, to attract attention specifically to your company, team, or where to find or get construction orders for every day?

The field of construction services has its own specifics, and traditional promotion methods may not always help in finding clients. What are the most common methods you know or have tried? How to find an order?

A secret to the whole world!

Construction, like any other type of business, belongs to the “word of mouth” method. The completed volumes of work can motivate the contractor and recommend him as a craftsman or team to his family, friends, employees and neighbors, because high-quality repairs are a reason for confidence. By the way, about neighbors: often, looking at the current work, people living next door also decide to do repairs, and attract the same company that works nearby. The principle works: “if my neighbor did it well, then I will do the same.” Therefore, when fulfilling an order, it would be useful to establish contact with both the owners of the object and the people living nearby.

Another great and effective way to find a construction contract is to distribute flyers and business cards. The simplest solution is to negotiate with the sellers in the building materials store and leave your leaflets with them, print flyers or business cards + a small reward to the seller, and the entire clientele of the store will be able to learn about the company, and the costs of such advertising are quite modest. Often, by the way, novice businessmen-builders themselves free time handing out leaflets at construction markets or near shopping centers the corresponding profile.

Construction is one of the industries where old methods of promoting services still work. And advertisements in newspapers and at entrances are a vivid example of this. For many people, an associative series is triggered: since the ad is hanging on my porch, its author lives nearby, which means it’s easiest to contact him. This approach can be used to advantage by placing similar advertisements in the most preferred areas. But newspaper advertisements work less often, but they also have their own clientele, who, from old memory, turn to the press.

Many construction workers have a wide network of acquaintances in their industry. Know your competitors and potential partners useful for a number of reasons. Searching for orders is one of them. Often, owners ask to recommend someone to perform specific work that the master does not do, and this is where familiar builders come to the rescue.
