Why manufacturers and engineering companies need more leads & enquiries

Many engineering and manufacturing companies rely on existing customers and word of mouth alone to keep their order books full. 

Most directors of manufacturing businesses are engineers by trade - marketing and sales do not always come naturally, and marketing especially can seem like witchcraft. Most of the clients we work with have no marketing department, and most have no-one in marketing at all - we do it all for them. Generating a reliable flow of strong sales leads from proactive marketing, however, fuels growth, profitability and makes your business more valuable as well as less susceptible to downturns or lost customers.

The most successful manufacturers achieve this through strategic and automated digital marketing, and JDR Group can give you this.

To be a world-class engineering and manufacturing company, you need to build your reputation, and establish a competitive edge in your niche. This requires consistent, effective marketing that delivers a steady flow of qualified sales leads, enquiries and new potential customers.

The question to ask is can you achieve that alone? More and more manufacturers and engineering companies are turning to JDR Group for digital marketing - we can help you:

  • Create a marketing strategy tailored for your business and your industry
  • Do your marketing for you - social media, blogs, website design and management, online advertising, search engine optimisation, email marketing and more
  • Work in partnership with you and your team as an extension of your business
