How Abacus Plumbing Uses Brand Cohesion in Their Marketing Strategy

When you search for a plumber in Houston TX, Abacus Plumbing is all over the first page. How did they make that happen? To read an in-depth explanation of their digital marketing strategy as a whole you can read this post; but one of the most important factors to their success is how they have a presence across the web, on websites such as Google, YouTube, Twitter, Yelp, and Facebook.

However, when your business is present in all of these places, it’s crucial to make sure you make customers feel like they’re connecting with the same company and brand, no matter where they see your business.

For example, when a potential customer is watching a video of yours on YouTube, you want them to see the same logo, business colors, and even the same tagline that you use on all other social networks and your website.

Abacus does this and more in their marketing. They use brand cohesion throughout the marketing channels they use to create a high level of brand recognition among potential customers in the Houston, TX area. In this post, I analyze Abacus plumbing and use them as a branding strategy example that your small business can follow when trying to grow your business.

Do you notice how the guy in the picture in the Facebook cover photo is the same guy in the picture in the Contact Us box on the home page of their website? That is 100% intentional. When you see the same image on the contact form as the one you see on a business’ social media profile, it creates the feeling of consistency and cohesion that makes potential customers feel more comfortable, which helps you to build trust with potential customers.
