Cornerstone is a leading firm specialising in stock and share trading, with a strong reputation in the financial markets. Their mission is to empower retail investors with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of trading. Cornerstone sought to expand its client base by attracting qualified leads interested in efficiently trading stocks and shares, as well as participating in broader financial trading markets. To achieve this, Cornerstone needed a targeted approach that would not only generate interest but also ensure that potential investors were well-informed and prepared before engaging with the company. This required a comprehensive marketing strategy that could deliver high-quality leads and facilitate a seamless transition from interest to conversion.
The primary challenge for Cornerstone was generating a substantial number of qualified leads within a short timeframe while maintaining the high standards that the brand is known for. The financial trading sector is highly competitive, with potential investors often inundated with offers and information. Cornerstone needed to stand out, offering not just a service but a well-rounded experience that built trust and credibility.
Moreover, it was crucial to pre-educate potential clients before their initial interaction with the sales team. This would not only streamline the onboarding process but also ensure that the leads generated were genuinely interested and prepared to engage in meaningful discussions about their trading needs. The challenge was to create a strategy that could efficiently address these needs and position Cornerstone as the go-to choice for retail investors.
To tackle these challenges, we developed a bespoke marketing strategy tailored specifically to Cornerstone's objectives. This strategy encompassed content creation, scripting, shooting, and editing to produce high-quality, informative materials that resonated with potential investors. We then launched targeted Facebook and Instagram ads to reach the desired audience, ensuring that each campaign was meticulously managed and continuously optimised for maximum impact.
In addition to traditional marketing efforts, we built a customised marketing funnel, in the form of a microsite, designed to position Cornerstone prominently within the market. This microsite served as an educational platform, pre-educating potential clients ahead of their booked calls, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the sales process. We also implemented CRM automations and tracking systems to maintain constant contact with all leads, ensuring that no opportunity was missed.
The results of this comprehensive strategy were outstanding. Within the first 30 days, over 500 qualified leads were generated, far exceeding initial expectations. These leads were not only numerous but also highly engaged, thanks to the pre-education provided through the bespoke marketing funnel. This led to a record-breaking number of clients being onboarded into Cornerstone's portfolio, significantly boosting the company's market presence.
This success not only demonstrated the effectiveness of the tailored marketing strategy but also reinforced Cornerstone's position as a leader in the financial trading sector. The combination of targeted advertising, high-quality content, and seamless CRM integration proved to be a winning formula, delivering exceptional results that set a new benchmark for future campaigns.
