2020 Q2 Marketing Report

I'm pleased to share The Grounds Guys' 2020 Q2 Marketing Report. This presentation outlines second quarter performance of the national Marketing, Advertising & Promotions (MAP) Fund. Click the image below to view the report:

Website Form Updates to Improve Lead Experience 

To improve your customers' experience online, we are transitioning pricing from the lead form experience. Instead, if you are currently featuring pricing on your website, it will now be featured on a local website page under the “About” section titled “Lawn Care Prices.” This update will be made August 31.

We anticipate this optimization and standardization of the existing lead capture form experience should increase the amount of online lead conversions. By creating a seamless experience for online users, it will:

  • Reduce the amount of clicks it takes for the user to both find and fill out the form
  • Increase the amount of leads you should receive due to a seamless and quick experience 
  • Consolidate three forms into one, minimizing user confusion and creating consistency

Update from Shane Lewis, Director, CRM and Marketing Automation, Neighborly (US Only)

As the Neighborly Customer Relationship Management (CRM) team continues its focus on the Neighborly “Own the Home” initiative, additional emails focused on modernizing the home will be sent during the next two weeks.

These campaign emails will offer tips and ideas for updating a kitchen and adding home automation. The blogs included will show homeowners what could be updated in their home while encouraging them to turn to Neighborly brands for all their home service needs. Emails include:

  • Email one, scheduled to send the week of August 3, provides blogs on upgrading the kitchen cabinets and adding a new kitchen backsplash on a budget. A “Find a Pro” button connects homeowners with the Neighborly brand who can service their needs. Click here to view the email.

Occasional Neighborly Customer Surveys 

As part of our Neighborly marketing efforts, we periodically survey our Neighborly customers to gather opinions and feedback. The data gathered is utilized to help the Marketing team create effective campaigns and materials based on customer input. In order for these surveys to be effective and credible, they are sent randomly to various markets and customers from all Neighborly brands.
