"Why Oil and Gas Service Companies Need a Strong Marketing Strategy to Succeed in Today's Competitive Market"
As an oil and gas service company, it is essential to have a strong marketing strategy. Why? It’s important to stand out in a crowded and competitive market. Service companies can do this by implementing strategic marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness, differentiate your company from competitors, generate leads, drive sales, and build trust and credibility with potential customers.
The best way to do this is starting with a messaging strategy. You might be wondering how to do this. We recommend using the StoryBrand 7-Part framework to create a clear and compelling message.
Here’s why:
People don’t hire the best service companies. They hire the service companies they understand the fastest.
For example. Let’s say you have a consulting business that helps with safety. You’re at a networking event and someone asks you what you do. You would probably say something along the lines of, “Oh I run a H&S consulting company.”
They’d probably be impressed and not think much more of it.
However if you had a competitor at this event and they responded with “You know how a lot of safety consulting companies out there seem to do a lackluster job? I own XYZ company and I hate when safety companies don’t hold your employees safety at heart. We use a 10 part framework that has kept us above a 99% safety rate for over 6 years now.”
Who’s going to get more work? The competitor because they have a messaging strategy in place.
When you have a messaging strategy in place you can then focus on other areas of your marketing.
You can then push your message on social media, through email marketing, and content marketing. This will help to make sure that your brand is on the mind of potential customers.
The best way to gather leads and convert them to sales is with a sales funnel. You are 62% more likely to get the job if the hiring process is easy. And a sales funnel can help with that. Sales funnels also help give value, give credibility and establish trust.
Building trust and credibility with potential customers is essential in today's world, where consumers are bombarded with information and may be unsure of who to trust. Implement a strong marketing campaign that showcases your company's values, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction to build trust and credibility with potential customers.
In conclusion, implementing a strong marketing strategy is essential for oil and gas service companies looking to succeed in today's competitive market. By increasing brand awareness, differentiating your company from competitors, generating leads and driving sales, and building trust and credibility, you can effectively grow your business and thrive in the industry.
