At the start of our relationship with every new client, Logistics Marketing Advisors establishes a clear, objective baseline of agreed metrics. We closely track performance against these sales and marketing metrics and, each month, report on progress. Below are results from select clients, along with a short summary of how we brought value to the company.
Client #1
National Fulfillment Warehousing 3PL
We repositioned this company from a general-purpose 3PL to a specialized provider of direct-to-consumer fulfillment services. To reinforce this positioning, we became regular publishers of helpful eBooks and promoted these offers through consistent blogging to drive site traffic. We operate on the HubSpot platform and migrated this client away from the SalesForce CRM to HubSpot's all-in-one marketing automation/CRM system. This has allowed closed-loop tracking of marketing success and ROI. The company's CAGR since we began working with them has been 18.2%.

Client #4
National Freight Broker
This national company generated most of its profit from its core business of moving bulk freight shipments. The problem was its website and marketing materials did not celebrate this truly unique point of difference. We immediately changed that, promoting the firm as bulk freight experts. Several eBooks were created and a regular blogging program began to position the company as thought leaders in this niche space. We made it much easier for the company's target prospects to find them. As a result, inbound leads that were once non-existent now flow in daily.
