News for the Hospitality Executive |
June 6, 2012 –
Los Angeles – Spirited innovation and the human touch differentiate
InvoTech
Systems, Inc. from its competitors. The company recently discovered the
magic these
same qualities bring when applied to public relations and branding. One
result is
a banner year for InvoTech, which saw dramatic sales growth of its inventory
control systems in North America,
Australia,
Canada, Mexico, and the Asia Pacific region.
InvoTech Systems credits its fresh marketing approach for
helping to
double sales inquiries and steadily increase new contracts.
“The first step is to delve deeper into understanding potential customers—who they are and what they want,” explains Jeff Welles, vice president of InvoTech. “This enables us to understand how to craft messages that reach our prospects and effectively address their needs.” InvoTech’s customers include the world’s largest casinos, hotels, resorts, theme parks, sports arenas, and laundries. Welles says highly focused public relations and marketing programs generated much of the growing interest in InvoTech’s products. Those efforts began last year when InvoTech started a relationship with an award winning Atlanta-based public relations and marketing firm that specializes in hospitality and casino gaming.
“Softscribe Inc.’s PR strategy, benefit messaging, strategic communications, and website work boosted awareness in our target markets of the value we deliver,” says Welles. “Case in point: a video press release they developed. The release includes a live demo that we conducted at the June 2011 HITEC event in Austin. We wowed potential customers with three typical hotel laundry tracking processes that our systems automate and improve. When a prospect called us in April 2012, we forwarded a link to the press release. Being able to watch our system in action prompted the prospect to become a customer. InvoTech continues to get a significant return on the PR investment we started nearly a year ago.” Effective messaging, innovative approach drives more pre-qualified inquiries, a shorter sales cycle “The relationship with our technology public relations provider clearly builds a greater awareness of our systems’ value in the minds of potential customers,” said Harvey Welles, founder, CEO, and president of InvoTech Systems. ”Now, when prospects contact us, many already know about the benefits we deliver through our marketing work. We are only beginning to scratch the surface of what we can achieve.” InvoTech recognized early that their marketing partner shares the company’s emphasis on innovation and long-term customer relationships. “Softscribe has a great rapport with our team,” said Jeff Welles. “We trust them to contact our clients and value their ability to represent InvoTech. When we provide our customers’ information for a story, their team handles it professionally every time.” “A whole new way of marketing” doubles leads during the first year InvoTech—a company that grew into industry leadership before ever distributing a press release— moved into “a whole new way of marketing,” says Jeff Welles.
