The Solution
SBC incorporated intensive marketing research to dissect the specific interests and pain-points held by DHI’s unique target audience. It was vital for SBC to understand the ideal consumer and examine what type of selling points resonate best with this particular audience. Doing so, we were able to outline exactly how DHI could utilize various imagery and copy to not only inform the consumer of DHI and their products/services, but also interact directly with their brand and drive them to make purchases. In addition, SBC used consumer behavior to strategically plan the day part and consistency of our email campaigns that effectively translates into increased engagement.
