Marketing and Lead Generation for AEC
AEC Marketing and Leads
The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (A/E/C) Industry has been one of the slowest to embrace inbound marketing as a whole as a tool to win more deals at a lower cost than traditional forms of advertising. In particular, the design and construction sector has been slower in embracing digital marketing than other professional service providers. Many partners in AEC firms think online marketing is not for their business, or that their business is “different.” While larger firms have started to utilize AEC marketing strategies, this is not the case among mid to smaller-sized firms. This lag creates a massive opportunity for early adopters of digital marketing to leap ahead of their rivals while this rare window of opportunity remains open.
The Benefits of AEC Marketing
Prospective private and public sector design industry clients are online and reachable through various platforms, such as search engine marketing, social media, and drip email marketing campaigns for lead nurturing. Few greater opportunity have existed for A/E/C firms to gain rapid market share against their competitors who delay embracing online digital strategies for generating high quality inbound leads. A/E/C firms who generate more than 50% of their leads online grow on average at least 250-500% faster than their competitors. It follows that a well-planned and executed A/E/C marketing program can yield extremely lucrative results.
