SOMETHING NEW
Automate America developed an outstanding web application for the automation industry. It allowed businesses and contractors to connect like never before, but users were only trickling in. While the web app was ready, Automate America had an awareness challenge.
COLD
Getting the word out was a slow process. Cold calling and emailing was monotonous as the same pitch had to be explained over and over. Even with a pitch well fleshed out, it was hard to explain the value of Automate America merely over the phone or in an email.
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS
Marketing budget had been spent on branding, website, and app UI, not to mention the hours spent on calling and emailing. It was all helping, but users were still not signing up fast enough. There had to be a better way. After looking around at their options, Automate America came to Tell and made the tough decision to pull the trigger on a new marketing tactic — video.
THE RESULT
The hard decision paid off. When potential users watched the video they understood Automate America’s value, cold calls and emails turned into conversions in a fraction of the time. Similarly, the tradeshow video loop caught people’s attention, explaining Automate America in an engaging way.
