1. Client Overview

Client Name: Triple Tech Services

Owner: Clarence Ballinger

Industry: HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Services

Location: Gurnee, IL

Background: Clarence Ballinger is an experienced HVAC professional with a long career in the industry. After working for multiple companies, he decided to launch his own business—Triple Tech Services—to offer complete home care solutions, combining HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services.

2. Challenge

When Clarence approached us, he lacked a clear marketing plan to establish his new business. His primary challenge was creating an online presence that would raise awareness for Triple Tech Services and attract customers. He recognized the need for essential branding elements such as a logo, website, social media presence, and a strategy for search engine optimization (SEO) to compete effectively in a crowded marketplace.

3. Strategy and Approach

We developed a comprehensive strategy to build a recognizable brand for Triple Tech Services:

• Brand Identity Creation: We designed a logo that symbolized the three core services offered, incorporating an American theme with red, white, and blue colors.
• Website Development: We created a user-friendly website that included a PayPal payment system for yearly inspection memberships.
• Social Media Branding: We established social media profiles to align with the website and clearly communicate the services offered.
• Local SEO Optimization: We set up a Google My Business profile to enhance local visibility and collect customer reviews.
• Marketing Materials: We designed postcards, brochures, flyers, and stickers to facilitate ongoing communication with existing and potential customers.

4. Execution

The project was executed over a two-month period with the following key steps:

1. Logo and Branding: Designed a logo and established brand colors and tone.
2. Website Launch: Developed and launched the website, integrating a payment system and ensuring it was optimized for search engines.
3. Social Media Setup: Created and branded social media profiles to match the new website.
4. Local SEO and Marketing Materials: Set up Google My Business and produced various marketing materials, including postcards for annual inspections, brochures for new customers, flyers for expos, and stickers for service equipment.

The collaboration involved both Clarence and his son, ensuring that the website and marketing direction aligned with their vision.
