Too often, contractors see marketing as an expensive, confusing “add-on” to their work. But in this insightful Cabinet Maker Profit System episode, Katie Smith of Wild Path Consulting explains how marketing can be a natural extension of the service you already provide.
Key Insights for Construction Businesses:
✅ Define your ideal client. Don’t try to be everything to everyone. Figure out who you love working with and build your marketing around them.
✅ Marketing is communication, not just advertising. Whether it’s sponsoring kids’ baseball teams or showing up at local rodeos, marketing is how you show you’re part of the community — and ready to serve.
✅ Authenticity beats fancy campaigns. Skip the “one-size-fits-all” marketing tricks. Be real, be helpful, and speak directly to your clients’ needs.
Practical Takeaway:
Katie says: “If we’re just trying to talk to anybody, our message gets muted. If you talk directly to the people you want to work with, they’ll hear you loud and clear.”
