California Lighting Sales represents commercial lighting and controls manufacturers. Founded in 1967, they provide lighting expertise and customer service for the architecture and design industry through out Southern California including Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Like many of our clients, California Lighting Sales was referred to Bynder Group from another satisfied customer. The primary goal of the initial engagement was to create an effective strategy for marketing the firm to reinforce industry leadership, increase confidence with their manufacturer partners, and support sales efforts with a lead generation and nurturing program. This included designing a new website and developing an inbound marketing plan. With this initiative, California Lighting Sales began a new era of strategic approach to marketing to build brand value and equity. Bynder Group worked with the firm’s owners and key stake holders to establish processes and methods for integrating marketing tactics with their already established sales efforts. Our team also provided support for the introduction and adoption of Hubspot as a new CRM.
