When the pandemic hit in 2020, in-person events such as conferences quickly began to get cancelled. Because of so, many sales professionals and business owners had to shift how they marketed their business. 

For Ashley Lynds at Global The Source, this meant building her personal brand, HVAC Ash, on Instagram and promoting products directly to HVAC businesses. 

The result has been incredible. Even though Global sells directly to wholesalers, who in turn sell to the contractors - they have managed to become a brand personality that encourages contractors to ask questions and learn more about their products. 

In this episode of the Smart HVAC Marketing podcast, we talk about what sparked this idea, and how Global is leveraging this idea to integrate it in their marketing plan.

A question that we get all the time here at Rival Digital is "how much does HVAC digital marketing cost?" The short answer is "it depends." There are a lot of variables that go into play when it comes to pricing our services. So before we can answer how much it will cost, we need to first understand these three things:

• What are your business goals?

In this post, we are going to break down each of those three questions. Knowing the answer to these questions will help speed up the buying process for digital marketing services, and will allow you to avoid wasting your time with agencies that may not necessarily be a fit for your company.

Anderson's HVAC, Plumbing, & Electrical has been serving western Montana since 1976. So as you can imagine, they've been in the game long enough to understand how to maintain a thriving business - even in areas that see blistering cold weather in the winter months. 

If you know anything about Montana, it's that most areas are fairly spread out, unlike most metropolitan areas. So some jobs can be anywhere from 30-100 miles away from the next job. As you can imagine, this takes strategic planning, and a solid marketing strategy to reach all of these homeowners. 

During this episode of the Smart HVAC Marketing podcast, Eric speaks with Ryan Doran, who is the marketing director at Anderson's, and we talk about how they overcome the challenges that are presented to their business, and how they are able to continue serving their customers in the winter.

We also discuss their recent re-branding project, and how they've set their business up for long term, continual growth by creating a bold brand that is hard to miss and easy to remember.
