CASE STUDY: ALL JERSEY SYSTEMS 3

For over two decades, All Jersey Systems has been a pioneering presence in

the commercial construction and contracting space, providing world-class

electrical, carpentry and HVAC services throughout the East Coast.

Historically, All Jersey, like most contracting companies, had always leaned

on word-of-mouth, bids and referral-based opportunities to secure new

business. But in an industry notoriously slow to adopt technology as a means

to advertise its offerings, All Jersey’s President, George Pavlonnis was

different.

In 2008, as the biggest economic crisis on record decimated business around

the world, George broadened his services to include residential prospects. In

so doing, he uncovered revenue opportunities less nimble businesses

ignored. And not long after these uncertain times, George also leveraged the

power of the internet to expand his brand’s reach as well.

But despite a revolutionary spirit, the deployment of multiple strategies or

the large investments made year after year, digital marketing did not

generate new customers reliably for All Jersey.

CHALLENGE

For All Jersey, their digital marketing had historically failed to both create new

revenue, and report on why it hadn’t. Vague, ambiguous metrics, such as

traffic and impressions, did little to inform next steps. Yet, actionable data, like

bounce rates and click-to-calls were entirely absent, and thus, strategies never

became investments in customer acquisition.

While All Jersey understood that ideal buyers were, in increasing numbers,

researching brands digitally, the company was unable to secure the services of

a digital marketing partner that could prove digital marketing does, in fact,

actually produce new customers.

For All Jersey, digital marketing therefore needed to solve two problems it had

yet to:

1. Craft digital communications, messaging and user experience

strategies that intersect with ideal targets at the precise moment(s)

they expressed a need for an All Jersey-like service provider.

2. Ensure such strategies possess accountable means through which

campaign performance is captured and production graded.

THE PLAN

Prior to developing the digital strategy that would fuel the tremendous

growth All Jersey has seen, Single Throw identified the following buyer

personas that would ultimately comprise ideal All Jersey digital targets:

the commercial client, looking for a provider of plumbing, HVAC

or electrical services for a commercial facility either under

construction or in need of repair;

the residential client, searching for home services, such as an

electrician, a plumber, or a home improvement contractor, for

new and existing residential structures;

the emergency client, needing an immediate provider,

sometimes at inconvenient hours, and commonly during a crisis,

like a power outage or burst pipe and;

the vigilant client, searching for things like generators, in

preparation for inevitable environmental events, such as major

storms or other natural disasters.

THE PLAN

Once digital personas were established, Single Throw began to analyze the

gap between the user experience (UX) buyers sought from an All Jersey-like

service provider and the one All Jersey delivered. In so doing, our UX and

buyer persona cross-audit identified:

how and in what way(s) personas typically expressed their buying

intentions within search engines;

how personas would ordinarily navigate/traverse a construction

and/or contracting service provider website;

The website personas frequently assembled on when searching

for a reputable All Jersey-like provider;

life events that organically and reliably occurred directly before a

persona began searching, and;

temporal and seasonal events that surrounded All Jersey’s

services, such as water heater replacements and furnace repair.

By creating a matrix of these key UX and persona data points, Single Throw

was able to isolate not only digital buyer behavior, but also create

intersecting messaging within a UX expressly designed to nurture

natural buying momentum.

EXECUTION

Single Throw modified All Jersey’s homepage and subpages by creating an

80/20 split between content and clear, right-hand calls-to-action (CTAs).

Because mobile content consumption continues to show that buyers are

more inclined to call, over submit a form, website CTAs included trackable

phone numbers, as well as conventional on-page forms.

Additionally, Single Throw created unique conversion paths that were

designed to appeal to the buying sensibilities of each persona, along with

the goals each has when shopping for an All Jersey-like brand.

Persona analysis likewise revealed that commercial HVAC, energy

management and residential plumbing represented high-value organic

targets. Therefore, webpages were recrafted to naturally speak using a

validated problem-solving idiolect commonly used among searchers looking

for answers to problems All Jersey’s offerings solve.

Offsite data, such as company name, address and services, all of which search

engines use to establish degree of brand authority, were cleared of

inconsistencies or other inaccuracies. Additional offsite authorities, like

chambers of commerce and customer experience review websites were also

leveraged to strengthen the brand’s perceived clout among search engines

as well.

Notes:

CASE STUDY: ALL JERSEY SYSTEMS 8

EXECUTION

The plan also called for Single Throw to identify offsite linking opportunities

that represent the online gathering destinations for personas searching for

an All Jersey-like service provider. Doing this expanded All Jersey’s digital

reach beyond their website alone, by demonstrating that All Jersey is a

ubiquitous and trusted digital name in their category among industry-related

and highly influential websites.

Lastly, Single Throw deployed a PPC ad campaign that naturally spoke to

buyer search queries. Landing page content matched search queries and ad

copy synchronized with buyer intent — all of which combined to increase ad

visibility. Phrases dealing with seasonality and location were also leveraged

to reinforce both geographic, as well as contextual reach. PPC targeting now

reflected counties and zip codes, as opposed to radial targeting, which, while

in use with previous providers, never produced well-qualified callers and

clicks.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite an industry slow to embrace digital marketing mediums, All Jersey

Systems values the internet as a reliable source of customer acquisition

opportunity. Yet even with optimism guiding their digital ambitions, finding a

marketing partner that could actually reveal new buyers proved as illusive as

the buyers themselves.

Undeterred by several failed, and costly attempts to uncover digital buyers,

All Jersey sought Single Throw to finally put to rest the debate over whether

or not All Jersey’s customers are using search engines to secure their

services.

The problem All Jersey faced was not a result of their industry, but of the

strategies themselves. If a brand is not intersecting with their targets at the

exact moment targets are prepared to complete a purchase, customers can

neither be found, let alone persuaded.

But when the strategy takes the time to study the buyer, how they search and

what motivates them to both search and purchase, customers do emerge.

All Jersey is enjoying new revenue produced by a digital marketing strategy

focused on All Jersey’s buyers — nothing more, nothing less.
