CGR Products

The Challenges & Goals Of Growing A Small Business

CGR Products was looking for new ways to attract their desired customer profile — namely large OEMs. Trade shows were proving ineffective, with significant travel expenses outweighing the opportunities they encountered, and advertising options had been equally costly and not as effective as they once were.

They hoped to redesign their website and drive people to specific pages, where they could then provide prospective users with quality content about their business and product offering.

By generating greater interest and awareness of CGR, the company hoped to identify new leads and convert them into orders.

Real Results — How Digital Marketing Worked For CGR Products

CGR teamed up with Thomas to create a more user-friendly website filled with blogs, white papers, and other helpful resources for their visitors. Within the first year of the redesign CGR had:

32% Growth

in website traffic

280% Growth

in leads per month

$4 million

worth of quotes in one year

In addition to new business opportunities, the company has received positive feedback from both customers and suppliers about the quality, quantity, and timing of their site content.

To respond to the influx of new leads, CGR has integrated detailed back-end web traffic analysis tools, aligned their outside account managers with specific regions, and assigned someone to immediately respond to RFQs. With the help of automated notifications, sales representatives are also able to quickly and personally follow-up with prospects who request information from the site.
