DCS

Leading Tech Company Chooses Marketwave to Boost Sales Leads

  • Created a multi-faceted plan to increase visibility for a top structured cabling provider.
  • Designed a top-of-the-line and versatile trade booth to catch the eye of consumers at trade shows.
  • Generated a 33 percent response rate with a direct mail campaign that featured a branded product in unique packaging.
THE CHALLENGE

Data Center Systems (DCS) provides connectivity solutions for some of the largest data centers in the world, including Fortune 100 companies, giving them the ability to serve their customers effectively without interruption. With key strengths like focusing on the details and taking a highly consultative approach to produce customized cabling solutions, DCS needed to create a stronger positioning against its competitors and strengthen the sales pipeline. The company turned to Marketwave to leverage its positioning as a premier fiber connectivity firm to generate new leads.

THE SOLUTION

Our team identified several strengths DCS could leverage against its competitors, including connected fiber cabling technologies that not only meet today’s needs but contain enough capacity to accommodate next-gen technology, saving customers money. We leveraged this strongpoint to:

  • Launch the “Performance Campaign,” which included a multi-piece mailer – a DCS-branded golf putter – designed to influence IT decision makers to schedule a meeting with the DCS sales team
  • Launch the “Production Campaign,” a drip email campaign that leveraged DCS’ patented abilities to provide scalable connected fiber cabling solutions
  • Upgrade marketing collateral and design a state-of-the-art tradeshow booth customizable for a wide array of floor spaces in an industry heavily reliant on one-to-one interactions
  • Secure an IBM Z Series webinar focused on the economic ramifications of choosing the right connected fiber cabling solution
