Building a Badass Brand: Marketing, Culture & Everything in Between
Tuesday, April 23 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there. The same can be said about most home service branding. While many are choosing safe, comfortable brands that blend in – or ‘bland’, what would happen to your business if it stood out? What if people in your community already knew your name when they needed service? What if you could lower your marketing spend, and be less of a slave to Google? Dan Antonelli walks you through the psychology behind building a better brand for your garage door company, and how the right brand improves your marketing ROI, your average tickets, helps with recruitment and even improves the culture of your garage service company. With dozens of before and after examples for other garage door service companies, you’ll see first-hand the results of better branding.
