Rios Blinds

Mobile Facebook social media design work for Rios Blinds

Summary

Rio’s Blinds are a Birmingham-based company specialising in custom, made-to-measure blinds. They travel across the midlands with a focus on two main things: quality of service and speed, which is why they strive to offer a same-day service wherever possible and even offer free quotations and fitting.

They are proud to offer a huge variety of blinds to their customers that will fit seamlessly with the style and feel of their home, which can be made-to-measure depending on the customer’s needs.

The team at Rios Blinds reached out to us in 2022 for help with optimising their existing Facebook advertising campaign. They were generating large numbers of leads at the time, but only a fraction of these were relevant to their intended audience.

The Task

Rios Blinds needed to make sure that they were targeting the right people with their adverts to help save both time and money.

Due to the custom, made-to-measure aspect of their blinds, Rios require the customers to arrange a visit to their home, at a time suitable to them, to provide an accurate quote.

However, many people who interacted with their previous ad campaign were expecting instant quotes and were uninterested in arranging a visit.

As Rios were paying for each enquiry, this meant that they were spending money on people who weren’t the right fit for their service. Our job was to ensure that the adverts were finding the right audience so that the majority of quote requests were from legitimate, relevant customers.

The Results

We started this project by first designing brand new adverts for Rios Blinds which both appealed to the target audience on Facebook and included details about the quotation process. We emphasised in the copy that customers would need to book an appointment to receive a free quotation, given that the blinds would need to be measured to the exact specifications of the window.

We also pushed the tailored aspect of Rios Blinds, effectively communicating the specialist nature of their service so that potential customers with non-standard windows will be more interested in working with them.

Both these choices were made to reduce the amount of time wasted on customers who were looking for a different kind of service.

As a result of our new Facebook campaign, Rios Blinds has seen 360 new, legitimate leads in the first two months, and this continues to grow.

We will continue working with Rios Blinds to tweak their social media advertising with the hopes of attracting more business from a wider range of sources.

It’s been rewarding being able to help Rio’s Blinds improve their quality of leads and target new customers through clear creative and messaging

Summary

Acuity Finance are an asset-based lender that provides businesses with tailored solutions to their financial needs.

Founded in 2004 under the name Inksmoor, they specialise in non-regulated bridging loans, development exit finance and cashflow finance. They are also Patron members of NACFB, demonstrating their laser-focused approach to providing transparent, flexible, and effective solutions for clients.

The Task

Our work with Acuity Finance started in April 2022, when we were approached to support with creating a marketing campaign around launching their rebrand to Acuity Finance. The initial focus was to raise awareness of the Acuity Finance brand to both the existing audience and a new audience, through social media and accompanying PR work on the rebrand.

We have since worked on multiple projects and campaigns with their team, with every department at EDGE playing their part in the progression of Acuity Finance.

Acuity Finance approached us to support with increasing their brand awareness and bring their new brand to life across a multitude of marketing avenues. This included an initial PR release for their brand launch, social media management to drive brand awareness, and SEO and website updates to increase visibility and user experience.

A brand launch campaign was our initial focus, including social media and PR to raise awareness of their new brand, and required the creation of branded graphics to complement their relaunch from Inksmoor Capital. Our involvement with their social platforms increased to management of all their platforms, providing fresh, relevant, and engaging content every week.

The Results

When raising awareness of the brand, we have seen positive results across multiple areas.

On social media, we achieved follower growth on both LinkedIn and Twitter, as well as consistent growth in engagement rate. LinkedIn’s monthly engagement rate has constantly reached over 5.0%, almost three times what LinkedIn considers good (2.0%), and we regularly achieved above the 1.0% engagement target on Twitter.

We have also made improvements to the performance of Acuity’s website, redesigning pages relating to their bridging, invoice and development finance services, including copy improvements that were SEO-optimised and customer-focused. In addition, we implemented monthly blog writing to drive increased traffic to the website through relevant content related to specific keywords.

Likewise, we designed and uploaded downloadable PDFs to increase data capture, and have regular email marketing campaigns to engage their audience.

Overtime, we have also become brand guardians for Acuity Finance, developing a set of core values and working across all wider marketing activities, from exhibition planning and creating branded stand graphics to designing merchandise and brochures.

“We have been working with EDGE now for some months and what a fantastic start to our commercial relationship. Louise and Mark’s team have excelled in service, quality and communication and I have been impressed with their ability at speed to understand our business and offerings. I would not hesitate to recommend them.”

H&G Recruitment

Our EDGE project client H&G branded lorry driving along a countryside road

Summary

H&G Recruitment are a national organisation specialising in HGV driving, warehouse and supply chain jobs to the transport and logistics sector.

With a client base of national blue-chip companies, H&G are one of the UK’s leading recruitment agencies, driving growth for some of the UK’s best-known supermarkets and delivery companies.

The Task

H&G’s previous website was discouraging potential applicants as the job search proved to be complicated and the overall user journey was unsatisfactory, resulting in high bounce rates site wide. A drop in on-site conversions lead H&G to come to us as a marketing agency with the task of improving their website’s UX to produce an increase in job applications and CV uploads.

Through an extensive and detailed wireframing process, we mapped out a website that was both optimised for conversions and effectively communicated H&G’s brand identity and processes.

Through further digital techniques such as social media advertising, landing pages and PPC campaigns, we lead their target audience to relevant job listing pages and single pages to encourage them
to convert.

The Results

After launching the new website, our focus on the user experience resulted in an increase of 100% in CV uploads and 1400% in job applications. This took the previous conversion rate of the old website from 0.57% to 3.15% – an improvement of 450%.

Our SEO-friendly website saw conversions via organic traffic increase by over 400%. Social media and PPC activity resulted in a 254% increase of sessions to the website and 253% improvement in sessions from mobile devices.

We’ve complemented their increased business expansion with engaging landing pages to drive applications for roles with some of the UK’s biggest household names. We’ve also helped H&G celebrate their 15th and 16th anniversaries of trading with animated logos, social media skins and press releases in national publications.

EDGE were initially approached by Lisieux Trust in June 2022 to provide marketing support while their CEO and Marketing Manager were both on maternity leave.

We took control of their social media platforms, tasked with helping to grow their audience across four platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, whilst promoting the work that Lisieux Trust does to help to enrich the lives of adults with learning disabilities or autism.

Alongside this, we also took charge of their monthly newsletter, in particular the design of their printed version as well as building and distributing the digital version that is sent via email.

The Results

Using a tailored approach to their social media strategies, we identified the requirements of each of their platform’s audiences by looking at analytics and data available to us. This then helped us to determine the types of posts that would meet their audiences’ requirements but also meet the desires of each platforms’ algorithms.

In line with the Trust’s own aims, our focus has been on showcasing the opportunities they provide to their tenants and residents, something we do through sharing the activities of everyone at the Trust in engaging image carousels, videos, reels and infographics.

Our design team showcased their creative talents by designing eye catching themes and templates that not only help the posts we create stand out on news feeds but also compliment the Lisieux Trust brand and identity.

Since we took over, we have seen consistent growth on all their platforms in terms of followers. LinkedIn has grown by 16.53%, Facebook by 18.85%, Twitter by 18.18% and Instagram by 16.29%. Alongside this, post engagement has been sitting well above the industry average.

The Task

We have worked with The Forest Hotel for some time now, whom since coming under new management after 30 years, required a new brand direction that aligned with their vision and exciting renovation plans.
