Healthy Home Marketing Campaign Boosts Chem-Dry Franchise Revenue

Videos and related materials provide franchise owners with easy to use, informative marketing elements to drive interest, awareness and sales

There are more ways to advertise a business now than ever before, but one core principle remains the same: A great ad is short, engaging and meets a consumer need. Thanks to the continued rollout of the Healthy Home marketing campaign, every Chem-Dry cleaning franchise owner has the tools he or she needs for success.

“The Healthy Home campaign uses different approaches to highlight Chem-Dry and drive interest,” explains Bill Zinke, Vice President of Marketing. “We are now rolling out a series of new, animated videos that focus on our core services, which will be shown on our national platform but also available for franchise owners to use on their franchisee websites as well. Our Healthy Home study shows the effectiveness of Chem-Dry services when it comes to removing allergens and pathogens, so we are creating materials to help communicate that information as effectively as possible.”

Online videos are a growing marketing trend

Consumers continue to view and share videos online, so they’re a great way to get information about what a Chem-Dry cleaning franchise can offer. The first animated video is already up on Chem-Dry’s national site, and soon will be joined by four more. Used in tandem with social media marketing and other outreach efforts, they will help every Chem-Dry team raise its community profile and generate interest, leads and new business.

“Our campaigns also help keep the Chem-Dry name top of mind for homeowners and businesses who may have used us before, but haven’t in awhile,” Bill adds. “Targeted marketing reminds them of our core services, but when we come to provide an estimate it’s an opportunity to show them new products and services they may not be aware we have added. Once we are in the door, there are lots of ways to upsell, which boosts revenue.”

Educating consumers is a key focus

The videos, along with other Healthy Home marketing tools, provide more consumer education alongside the Chem-Dry cleaning franchise brand promotion. Whether it’s a postcard or an email, website content or even new, updated laminated talking points for techs, the materials show how Chem-Dry provides a deep, thorough clean without harsh chemicals.

“Our Hot Carbonating Extraction process is environmentally friendly, and safe for kids and pets,” Bill says. “That’s a message that we want to continue, but we also want to make sure that consumers know that we have literally dozens of green-certified cleaning products, and that all our other services make the home or business environment not only cleaner, but healthier as well.”
