Case Study: SIG Design & Technology
Whilst FTSE 250 logistics company SIG plc is well known in the contracting world, the company was little known by architects and other specifiers who tend to rely on familiar brand names for single products. Many of these products are less cost effective and reliable, and as roofing systems become more complicated contractors are requiring whole system guarantees and expertise architects rarely have and don’t want to acquire.
SIG Design and Technology appointed Just Practising in 2012 to act as strategic advisor on both social and digital media and raising the profile of the company with architects, and to deliver a programme of training, deliverables and measurement to increase the company’s income from specification sales.
Over the initial 2-year programme, our strategy attracted 831 blog subscribers, a 285% increase in content downloads from the site and an eightfold increase in contact form enquiries. Specifications increased 89% in number and 73% by value. This contributed to an increased return on investment of net specifications managed to order from 277% to 330%, all without any significant increase in marketing spend.
The project was Highly Commended in the Construction Marketing Awards 2015, and Just Practising Limited continue to work with SIGD&T.
