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.

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.
