Using Surefire
Using Surefire Digital Advertising
Budget Blinds’s first step was to launch pre-optimized ads across Google, Facebook, and other popular online platforms. Over the course of 2-3 months, they monitored and improved target audiences, ad relevancy scores, and other key metrics. This led to an increase in leads across their entire network, and a reduction in costs per lead.

Reputation Management
Budget Blinds then shifted their focus to online reviews. Across all locations, they used Surefire to begin posting about leaving reviews on social media and send automated email reminders. They also began responding to every review within 24 hours. As a result, online reviews boosted substantially in just a few months.

Analytics
Lastly, Budget Blinds used Surefire to begin tracking all of their most important metrics, such as leads, revenue, and costs, and comparing advertising results to previous months and years. This helped them establish performance benchmarks and continually measure results. Their team now has complete visibility into ROI on both a local and national level.
