Assumes a digitally-versed client, selling residential solar energy products & installation Tell a story from the client’s perspective: “We just aren’t generating enough leads/sales from the culmination of our marketing efforts. And the traffic we are driving is not converting the way it should be. We’re considering rebuilding the Web site within the next few months. For now, we are definitely going to launch a new Twitter page to see if we can garner more qualified traffic that way. We’re also thinking we need to create new banner ads; our banner campaigns aren’t working. I’m also getting pressure from my managers to learn more about mobile and how we can be playing there, so I’ve signed up for a conference on mobile marketing best practices, trends, etc., next month. It seems pretty inevitable that we are going to be having budget cuts in traditional areas and likely in areas of digital if we can’t make this work better.”
