Transforming HVAC Campaigns with Marketing Automation
The Challenge
An HVAC company sought to improve its marketing effectiveness, overcome audience fatigue, and drive higher conversion rates. Despite efforts across multiple channels, the company faced difficulties in reaching its full potential for customer acquisition and retention.
The Solution
As the marketing agency for HOP Energy and their partner company, Dollarwise Discount Heating Oil, ColorPage implemented a comprehensive multi-channel marketing strategy. These monthly campaigns were deployed across all branches in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The campaigns included Win-Back (re-engagement) campaigns for both HOP Energy and Dollarwise Discount Heating Oil, as well as targeted efforts to convert Will Call customers from the COD Dollarwise Discount Heating Oil into the full-service HOP Energy Auto-Delivery customers.
Direct Mail
Personalized mail pieces were sent to targeted customer segments. Each piece featured dynamic content tailored to the recipient’s specific needs and included a QR code or PURL to encourage immediate online interaction.
Email Campaigns
Coordinated email efforts complemented the direct mail pieces, reinforcing the message and providing an easy, clickable path to the next step in the sales funnel. Each email mirrored the personalized content found in the direct mail, creating a consistent experience.
