STRATEGY PROPOSAL

Digital Marketing & Advertising Management

Transform your $40,000 monthly advertising budget into a measurable, accountable digital system that drives real leads and cuts waste.

Why We're Proposing This

Landon, this is not a shiny pitch for new channels. You already spend real money every month and you already have strong awareness in the market. The opportunity now is to protect that spend, cut waste, and build a system where you can clearly see what is working, what is not working, and why.

If we cannot produce measurable lift in leads at a reasonable cost, we should not keep doing it.

Primary Goals

  • Drive more measurable leads for sales and service
  • Improve lead quality and reduce wasted clicks
  • Build consistent reporting you can trust

The Strategy

Reduce radio to a supporting role and reinvest that budget into a measurable digital mix that captures intent, promotes time-sensitive offers, and retargets shoppers until they convert.

Current Snapshot

Total Advertising Budget

~$40,000/mo

Majority allocated to traditional radio

Current Digital Investment

$8,500-$11,500/mo

  • • Google PLA (inventory): $3,000/mo
  • • Google Dynamic Search: $3,000/mo
  • • Google Ads (service): $2,500-$3,000/mo
  • • SEO retainer: $2,500/mo

Recommended Digital Media Mix

OTT & Streaming Television

$5,000-$6,000/mo

Reaches a similar audience as radio with better targeting and reporting. Lets you show the facility, the inventory, and the service department. Supports sales events and service awareness without guessing.

Tracking & Accountability

OTT is primarily a demand and consideration channel. We will measure lift through branded search trends, direct traffic, assisted conversions, and tracked landing page traffic. Creatives include QR codes as trackable calls to action.

Creative Production & Asset Plan

This media plan only works if we have enough good creative to rotate. Paid social and OTT fatigue fast. The goal is to build an evergreen library once, then keep it fresh with a lightweight capture cadence tied to promotions.
