SHED GEEK:Okay, welcome back to episode of the shed game podcast.
DYLAN STREET:It's every time. It's every time. Welcome back. I knew you were gonna do it too, dude.
SHED GEEK:We just went through this whole thing and then you just started it out of nowhere well, hey, Matt ask about that, because me Matt and chatted for 12 minutes one time and he's like hey, are you gonna actually do the introduction or we just gotta sit here and talk, because I know your format, I know how you do these things, yeah. And I was like okay, fine, I'll do it, welcome back. And then every time I did, he couldn't quit laughing yeah, I remember y'all were in the in the shed. In the shed, yeah, behind his office. There I was like, yeah, okay, well, I'm trying to be professional I'm trying to stay on brand here we are be consistent.
SHED GEEK:That's right, all. So what are we doing here today?
DYLAN STREET:Am I the host?
SHED GEEK:I don't know. No, I'll host, okay, okay.
DYLAN STREET:Okay.
SHED GEEK:I'll do it. Let's talk marketing, because everybody's so like tired of hearing us talk about marketing.
DYLAN STREET:I don't think so. No, I don't think so. Either man, it's the hot topic, either man, that's the hot topic. Man, it is the hot. You look left, you look right. It's like oh, shed marketing has arrived.
SHED GEEK:2024 I think, understanding marketing and like sort of like how it fits in sheds dude, let's, let's start there. Let's give, let's give the dylan street stamp of knowledge on how you would define marketing in general and then what you see as marketing and sheds.
DYLAN STREET:Three, two, one go yeah, well it's, it's huge, everything that you do when you're, when you're wearing the hat of your brand, whether you're selling, um you know, whether you're buying furniture for your. You know your shed lot for where clients come in, the signs you get. It's all part of marketing. Do you mow your lot? You know what.
Speaker 3:I mean, it's all part of marketing.
DYLAN STREET:It's all part of the picture of the brand and where you stand. But on my end I look at more of the digital side. We help If people have questions. We try to add value any way we can. If some are struggling with leads, we get on a call with them and try to figure out their process and help them with a new one.
DYLAN STREET:Literally, I had a client struggling with some leads and I sent some scripts to try and I figured out. What do you all do? Do you email? Do you text first? Do you call? Are you struggling with in-person sales? And anyway they it was online leads, um and like on messenger and marketplace and stuff and I I just kind of gave them my what I would do, right from what I've talked to different salespeople. But so what we help with my side of marketing, we'll do. We'll just we side of marketing. We'll open a new bucket and just call it digital marketing.
DYLAN STREET:Okay, so I'll separate from all the other things, but it all is marketing. You know what I mean, even though some things that we build digitally become external products, like we do expo setups. We've done a bunch of those this year where we design the backdrops and the canopies, they're called standees, you know just all these different things, table tops, that's all part of marketing and branding, graphic design. But you know, marketing in the sense of lead generation is kind of where we sit a little bit closer to most of the time, right, lead generation marketing. But when somebody reaches out to Shed Geek Marketing about you know, getting more leads really or they want marketing help, they're generally saying, hey, I want to sell more buildings, right, I want to sell more buildings, right, I want COVID era back you know what I mean, but I see that it's not going to work without me doing something actively right?
DYLAN STREET:So you know, we see that now, before we start down the tunnel of looking at building leads, we look at everything. You know what I mean. We look at their Facebook, we look at their Instagram. We look at all their social media assets. We look at their logo. We look at their website how is it laid out? Is it user-friendly? We look at all those things first and then, generally, after we kind of do an audit, we will recommend things like hey, we'd love to get you more leads, but your website is not set up properly to handle them.
SHED GEEK:What's an example of an improper setup.
DYLAN STREET:Oh man, I mean, you know a lot of folks. They'll build their website on their own with really no knowledge of it. They got the tools. You know what I mean. They're watching videos, they're doing their best. But, like, you know just the way that you're supposed to lay out a site. What should come first, what's your priority, what's your goal? Um, you know where are all of your lead forms at. Are your emails and phone numbers on your website clickable? You know what I mean. Like all these things matter.
DYLAN STREET:And then there's so many different ways to lay out a shed site, you know, and you got to figure out, like, we don't just tell you what we're going to do. A lot of times we like what do you like whenever you go search sites, right? So we kind of help and and dive deeper into that lane. But you know a good website, man, it's just user-friendly. First off, it loads quickly. You know that's a big thing, loads quickly. It's user-friendly, um and and and. Just the way that their eyes move down and the information that they're fed first. How far do they have to scroll down before they get to what they need to get to? Um, and that's difficult because we sell so many different products, right? So that's why we try to figure out your goals first, right? So so many things there, man.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, who's your company? What do you sell? You know what I mean, like you, you you've got to ask questions, just the same as they would trying to sell the shed. We've got to ask questions, that's right, just trying to understand the heartbeat of your company, how it operates and how we can best put that into a digital display.
DYLAN STREET:Absolutely Right. Yeah, Now what?
SHED GEEK:about whenever customers I'm going to rabbit hole here real quick. But what about when customers are like I don't need all that, that's not important. Clickable blah, blah, blah. I don't shop like that.
DYLAN STREET:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. So, yeah, we get to talking about Google ads or something like that, you know. And then people are like we. We tell them, hey, you know, we would recommend doing running some Google pay-per-click campaigns and like, well, those are the ones that are up at the top that say sponsored or whatever. It's like I would never click on one of those. And it's like, well, that's okay and that's all right, and honestly, I don't usually either, very often, but they do get clicked. I don't know what to tell you. They. They just do um, and that's why everyone does them. That's why all of your, the brands that you know, are running those.
SHED GEEK:You know what I'm saying yeah, not everybody shops that way. I say it is not everybody shops like you. Yeah, it's like sometimes, whenever you're trying to reach your customer, you got to get out of your head and the way that you shop. Sometimes it's useful to use the way you shop as a sounding board of like, hey, let's create some kind of a flow here. But then you also got to be like wait a minute, not everyone shops the way I shop.
SHED GEEK:So let's find out how the majority of the people will come to and people do click on sponsored ads that's right.
DYLAN STREET:They just do you know and, and, and. It's tailored to what we already know they're actively looking for.
SHED GEEK:Explain that Break that down a little yeah.
DYLAN STREET:So you know, if we're speaking specifically on SEM, search engine marketing, whether it's Google, bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, doesn't matter. You know people are typing something in the search bar. You know what I mean, like chicken coop, chicken coop dealer near me, shed lot near me, cabin dealer, cabin builder near me, whatever it may be. And so, depending on like in our case, for our clients, it depends on which package you have. But you know, if you go with our higher packages, all of these ads are tailored to everything that you offer. All of these ads are tailored to everything that you offer. So you can have some that are, just like you know, number one shed manufacturer in where we are in Kentucky. You know what I mean and it's pretty basic shed builder, shed manufacturer.
DYLAN STREET:But if you get people that are typing in keywords like cabin or horse barn right, we like to build ads for every product that you offer. That way, based off the keyword that they're typing in, you have an ad for that. If you offer it right, you don't want to pop up if people aren't searching exactly what you build. Does that make sense? So your Google Ads account it just continuously gets built out deeper and deeper, stronger and stronger. The more data you have, the more niche down that you can get on what your audience is searching for, based off of the products that you offer with your shed company.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, no, it makes perfect sense. So we've kind of defined marketing as a overall picture. But then diving in deeper to the digital marketing side, I know it's easy to get going down any one particular road of any of these things Google ads. Facebook ads. But you say, to take us through like this journey, you start with branding, branding guidelines, kind of logo, design colors, color palettes, all of these things, and people are like, ah, it's not really important, or I can get on Fiverr you know, I can get a guy to knock something out for $55 or something like that when, like, what's some vulnerabilities and things like that that they might not be thinking about, not saying I'm not telling them to do it, you shouldn't do it. I'm saying what are some vulnerabilities that they face when they begin to try to take marketing to new levels?
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, like brand consistency. You know, we had a company out of South Carolina reach out not long ago and they had hired someone on Fiverr to do a logo. Um, you know, and they, they, they liked it for, you know, for whatever reason they liked it and the their investors liked it, and so on and so forth. And they wanted us to build a website. And I told them, you know, I was just being honest and I had told them I was like, man, I don't think this is a good look for what y'all are doing. And I was just honest with them. And then they still wanted to move forward and before we did the website, I was like, hey, guys, I just want you, I'm going to offer to build you a logo for free. I'm not going to charge you a thing. Now we don't do this on a regular basis.
SHED GEEK:You're going to get a lot of calls now.
DYLAN STREET:Let me make this clear. But I knew that if we were going to do everything else besides the logo and we had to match the branding of that logo that they paid $55 for on Fiverr, right yeah, and I just knew that it wasn't a good look. Well, I urged them again and I was like I'm going to build you one for free. And every time I talked to him he's like man, I'm so glad that you did that, because now everything like the aesthetic appeal altogether is just beautiful. You know what I mean From the logo, the branding, the guidelines, the ads, the color palette. It's just beautiful. So now the brand is awesome.
SHED GEEK:And you can even go into more like rabbit trails from there and like png files, vector files, like all of these different things that people are like well, I might not be, it's just, it's how. I'm a shed builder, you know what I mean. I'm not. I'm not in that world every day, all day. So I need you to kind of explain that to me in the quickest amount of time that you can, which is probably difficult for us because we take a different approach in the customer acquisition. Like we spend some time with you to be like, okay, what's your questions? And then ask them in all your brokenness, so that we can just kind of explain it to you on what?
SHED GEEK:we think you're asking.
DYLAN STREET:But I think you should double down on that. If there is anyone that knows they need marketing but they literally don't know anything about it, we would love to answer your broken questions. I know probably more than the average person about sheds because we write descriptions. I know what a lofted gam or side lofted, I know what all these things are. But you start asking me building questions. I'm out. You know what I mean.
SHED GEEK:Like tongue and groove. Lip panel paneled one quarter inch. I'm out. You know what I mean. Why?
DYLAN STREET:what's a double top?
SHED GEEK:play. Why should you? You know, like, like, you know, space them out. You know, over the splits and things like that, you're like what's deadwood in the corner, like I have no idea what's going on. But they know those things. That's right. They're going to be able to tell you about roof pitches, they're going to be able to tell you about all these different things and but. But when it comes to marketing, that's your area of expertise. So like that's why you go deep on it and we've got to try to still be relatable to the customer. Who's like I'm coming in like we had one customer say you know, uh, I mean not not arrogantly, they were saying it like like humbly, you know, but they was like you know, I want to want you to build a website and of course they had a custom coded website and it was, it was, it was gonna be ending because they weren't gonna keep it like 30 years old yeah yeah, and he's like you know so still thinking about you know pricing of 30 years ago and now on a website.
SHED GEEK:But then at the end of it we got finished and we got the quote and he's like I think I could go with that if you guys can do one thing for me. And I was like what's that? And he's like I need you to make that. Go ahead and show up on the very top of Google whenever people are looking for it and you're just like oh.
SHED GEEK:I just discovered something Like not arrogantly saying this, but like you, have no clue about seo and how a website functions and we didn't do our due diligence to like educate, yeah, properly yeah, and it was like we've got to go back and like have this conversation again so that you understand we can take this, build this beautiful website and put it way out in the middle of a two-lane dirt road that no one will ever see. Yeah, seo is your four-lane highway that's going to get get all the people to it and we didn't discuss that yeah you could have this beautiful thing that no one ever sees.
SHED GEEK:So we've got to go back and like address this all over again that's the first thing when someone calls about a website.
DYLAN STREET:I'm like, well, do you currently have one? And they're like, well, no, um. And I was like, well, we, we would love to build you a website. Do you have a plan to get people to it once it's built? You know what I mean, because nobody is going to unless you're actively doing SEO for a long time or you're running paid campaigns. We always recommend running paid campaigns and SEO at the same time, so you don't always have to pay for ads. You know what I mean. But if you want to amp it up, you can. But you also have organic leads coming in as well. Like that's a healthy place to be do you think that?
SHED GEEK:do you think a lot of it has to do with like? This industry probably falls in the listen. I don't understand it very well, but I tend to think that the more you pay for something, the better it is, because we know that we don't charge the cheapest on our sheds. We build a quality shed, but we can tell you what all you're getting with that. Do you think it's the same way? Whenever they go purchase a website and they're like well, this guy's, you know, six grand, but this guy was 12 grand or whatever it is on a website and I'm just throwing numbers out the 12 grand's got to be better because I'm paying more money, it's got to be better. The questions start to come to mind, like is this just like their assumption in their head, like, and that's probably going to get it indexed? And if they're like what's indexed, you know it's probably going to get it.
SHED GEEK:Show up at the top of google or bing, or duck duck go whenever people search. But I mean, all google is, it's, it's a source of like truth for information, right, like what google's just saying is like hey, we, the search engine, have went out and we looked at all these places and we found the most reputable, reputable thing to recommend to you. Yeah, based off what you asked us. Yeah, so you asked us where do I find some hats near me? Well, according to you know what I mean, like how many website visits this guy this site gets, according to their branding authority, all of these different things. Google says here's your guy number one. Yeah, here's your guy number two, here's your guy number three. So you're probably not just gonna do a website and be like boom, there you go, I'm at the top of it.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, it's almost impossible, unless you're in some sort of weird niche market. You're in the shed industry. It's impossible to just build a website and be number one, unless you're in the middle of Kansas and there's no population. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:I'm being serious.
DYLAN STREET:It's almost impossible, because you're selling sheds somewhere that there's a population and there's surely got to be people that want to buy them. Um, so generally there's a competition, you know what I mean. Or there's a, a larger company that has a presence there, like a big, you know, like a tough, or, uh, dirksen or something like that you know what I mean yeah, um, you know, they're constantly building and working on their seo all over the country, so you're competing with that already that's why lozenge home depot shows up whenever people search most adwords for for sheds right yeah, and you know why.
DYLAN STREET:Why they get they pop up for sheds is because the the amount of search traffic that they're getting um based off of all the other 1 million products that they offer, right that is, that is pushing their, their shed seo up because there's so many other, oh yeah, backlinks and things all these things, man yeah, so.
SHED GEEK:So let's go a little bit farther down the journey now. They, you know they've, they've recognized the, the branding, uh, they've got the website, they got the seo you're talking about ads. What about for, like we're we're a bit of a, an odd industry? We have, like mom and pops, you know, that are just, you know, happy with where they're at in growth. They just want to see minimal growth a million to five million to ten million a year in sales or whatever and they're like we're pretty happy with that. And then you've got, you know, 100, 150 million, 200 million a year in sheds, like we've. We've even looked around and like searched vulnerabilities in those large companies and people might be surprised that there are some big vulnerabilities and even the big players yeah, right, yeah, yeah, you say it so confidently, but you don't want to, you don't want to go in on that further.
DYLAN STREET:Okay, I'm not there, buddy, okay okay.
SHED GEEK:Well, we'll move on from that. Um, what would your suggestion be like for a small company? How can they make a difference? How can they make an impact, like going up against these big guys with proper marketing?
DYLAN STREET:yeah. So I mean, you got to look at it this way is, um, you know, they have complete control. So when you're dealing with one of these bigger companies like uh, you know, I don't even want to mention that I don't.
SHED GEEK:you ain't going to tell your names out.
DYLAN STREET:It's a big shed company that has a lot near you, or you know two big shed companies that has a lot near you. You know, most of the time those big companies, they they don't build like a website for that dealer. There's like one or two that does, but for the most part they don't. So a lot of times those dealers have to kind of create their own website. But the big shed company, they have a location page for there, right, and sometimes you're like competing with that. You know what I mean. And that location page has SEO because of the rest of that robust website.
DYLAN STREET:So you can just be, I think you can just be more focused. You know what I mean. You've got to figure out you know what is our delivery radius, where do we service, what are the towns? Right, and you know you really need to have lists of these towns that you service, with links they go to Google Maps and then so when the Google robots crawl your website, you know what I mean and these are difficult things. So if you're at, are you asking like, what can people do, or what can we do for people?
SHED GEEK:well, that's a good question. Yeah, uh, and I think it's kind of going to lead into my next question, which you know I wanted to talk about. Like, like you know, larger companies who do franchise their websites versus you know if it's a consignment law and cause, we get calls from dealers all the time and they're like I want to be competitive and so like, maybe I should ask the question that way. Like, we get calls from dealers who who say I want to be competitive, um, I work like as a 10 99 private contractor, if you will, for a larger organization, um, and we need some help. But then there may be some sticker shock from the dealer perspective of like creating all of these things from.
SHED GEEK:You know they can't do anything about their branding because it depends for one. It depends on if they brand theirself as their own individual lot with a separate name than the larger brand of sheds that they carry or carports or whatever that they carry. But if they do brand their self underneath the larger brand, they can't control the branding Right. So they just have to take what they're given Correct, assuming it's good branding. We move on and there's a website question. Now, well, if they're branding theirself individually, then all of a sudden, they've got to have their own website. Yes, correct. And they're probably looking around and saying well, hey, I'm making 8%, 10%, 12%, whatever it is, on selling sheds or whatever. So I don't really have the affordability to go do this like, you know nice high-end website and then develop this.
SHED GEEK:You know this seo. You know tools that's necessary and then, way beyond that, running ads. You know I don't control maybe the 3d configurator or maybe I do. Maybe my manufacturer said you go figure it out. Maybe they've already figured it out. So like how, how do we help the dealer?
Speaker 3:Yeah,
SHED GEEK:we've talked about doing a class, that's right.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, yeah, that's tough.
DYLAN STREET:We've spent so many countless hours on the phone or on zooms with dealers just trying to help. You know what I mean, but it's so hard, um, you know it's. It would be very. It would be a big step of faith for them to actually pay what it costs to do all these things, uh, in a big way. So, um, you, you know we've been discussing trying to create a, you know, like a dealer, a shed dealer master class, um, where we show them because you can find these things, but it's not shed specific. You know what I mean. And so if we built out, ultimately, a template like what should your google my business look like? What photos should you have on there? How often should you post? How do you boost a marketplace post, um, how do you even post on marketplace? Do you do it under yourself? Um, you can't do it as your business name because you can't access a marketplace. Should you create a fake personal profile? You know what I mean. Should you create a personal profile with your shed business business name?
SHED GEEK:These are all questions, they're all questions you see come up too on Facebook and other places.
DYLAN STREET:All the time. And then you get some people that have ran some boosted posts but they want to do better. And then so you've got the Facebook Ads Manager, which it looks incredibly difficult, it's very technical, there's so many buttons and configurations, but just showing people how to use it and use it effectively, and even offering like, like, copy content, which that's you know, when you make a Facebook post, you got a picture, if you, if you put a picture and you got your words that go above it.
DYLAN STREET:Right, you know, and even possibly helping with some of that scripting content some of that copy content, content, some of that copy content, so you can see some effective uh stuff on your, on your, your front, that come from your ads, um, but yeah, I mean showing people how to do lead forms or message campaigns or how to retarget them and put a pixel on your website. You know, there's so many things and I feel like people could do it if they're taught shed specifically. You know, know, piece by piece, it could be done, but paying someone to do it at that level it's gonna it's expensive. You know what I mean.
SHED GEEK:It's just expensive. So there's a lot of functionality that goes to creating a digital storefront. Yeah, you know, and if you're a dealer, that that can be difficult unless you're probably pretty tech savvy, and then you're probably still going to need a sounding board from time to time to bounce things off of. So, like we, we may do that. I think we want to do that. I think if we can find the time, you got it yeah we'll do that. You got it the.
DYLAN STREET:The core, in my opinion, the core of the problem is that, like all of these bigger shed companies, they're so far in you can't go back. But I think maybe even most of them may know that the best thing to be would be build, keep building their robust website and there be these location pages with lead forms. And you build your dealer's Facebook pages, you build their Google my Business, but then also, when you get leads and the leads have a zip code, you distribute that to that dealer for free.
DYLAN STREET:I think, from what I've seen and what I've learned, that that is the most effective way. Some of the companies that we're working with have HubSpot zip code distribution to their dealers and they've looked at population density of that state and it's distributing it fairly amongst all the dealers and they're giving their dealers a chance to sell them and they're training them on sales. The ones that are doing that, starting off man, they're going to be the ones that are killing it here. In a couple of years They'll go from the $10 million to the $20 million and the $20 to the $40.
SHED GEEK:Now, what about when you talk about lead Jen? There's the whole other side of the puzzle and that is like closing yeah on lead generation because, like we can, we can talk about all the fancy terms. And like dylan laughs whenever we get on a zoom call, because I get to drop some of my favorite little acronyms like GA4 tags. What's my new one.
DYLAN STREET:I don't know, GTM.
SHED GEEK:UTM parameters.
DYLAN STREET:UTM parameters. That's correct.
SHED GEEK:Do you guys know how intelligent I sound whenever I say well, what you really need there, guy, is some UTM parameters.
DYLAN STREET:I usually turn my camera off when he goes on this run. I'm just like, oh whoops, camera's not working.
SHED GEEK:Sometimes you've you gotta be smart enough to know you're not smart enough. You know what I mean. Like, uh, you're a sum of the five people you hang around with, and I hang around five people smarter than me all the time.
SHED GEEK:So, uh, yeah, dylan gets a kick out of it whenever I talk with authority on utm perimeters I can't help myself uh, but, but those are just deeper conversations inside a conversation of drip campaigns and blah, blah, blah and all this other stuff that people are like, man, my eyes are rolling in the back of my head when I called you and wanted a five minute conversation on why I can't get a 339 on doing good marketing, and it's like, well, I'm not saying that you can't, but you like. There's just, you know, like we assume, because it's the way we attack business that you want to be successful and grow.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:Because we want to be successful and grow and we believe that growth is imminent for any company. So, like we assume a lot of times that, like you're wanting to see like big success and you're willing to go through the things to make them. Because, you know you've dumped, you know, $150,000 worth of inventory into a lot.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:And it's like now you got to think about. In reality, the cost to build. Build a digital storefront is theoretically less than that hard inventory.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:Those hard costs on on hard products. This is a. This is a virtual product, if you will, but these are still assets you own. Right at the end of the day, you own your conversion tracking, like we don't own it, right, yeah? And like we actually steer you away and if anybody's listening who does it different?
DYLAN STREET:just know we do actively steer away anybody yeah, from uh letting the marketing agency own correct their digital assets.
SHED GEEK:You need to own that because if you ever come to a place where of disagreement with us where you're like we need to move on, we don't like you, or you said something funny to me and yeah, we quit, yeah well, we are not going to hold you hostage or your data hostage. We want you to be able to move on freely because you know, know, we believe that service is what wins. If we do massive, like customer service, like you'll want to stay with us if we're doing a good job, we just we got to go through those conversations so like something we've met immediately is like we can, you know, lead the horse to water, can't make it drink, kind of thing. So all of a sudden it's like well, well, we want to use your marketing services because we want leads. Boom, got you leads.
SHED GEEK:Hey, man, um, you know, my guys didn't close that many leads yeah and now, all of a sudden, the conversation is like um, like, without being arrogant, you're like well, you want me to do about it?
SHED GEEK:Yeah, yeah, it's like tell me about your sales process, because this is a different thing, and this is where me and you have to stop and be like wait a minute.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, talk to me.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, this is the toughest part, man. This has happened two or three times and it's like, yeah, man, I mean I don't know. Here's what I do know. I know that our ads are targeting or retargeting people who are, and have been, interested in sheds on or off of this platform. Let's just say Facebook, for instance. If you're searching for sheds on Google, facebook knows it does so. When we target people that are looking for sheds or pergola or chicken coop or horse barn, whatever, and they see that ad, we are paying to make sure that that shows up on their news feed or wherever, or their reels, doesn't matter and it's showing up there because they have been actively searching for a product like that recently.
SHED GEEK:That's a warm lead, yeah. Let's call that what that is in any other industry. It goes further than that it goes further than that.
DYLAN STREET:They see the ad and they're like that looks, that looks really nice they do I mean?
SHED GEEK:my lord, that is a shed. Do they do it like that?
DYLAN STREET:I don't know. I don't know, maybe in their head, you know I would.
SHED GEEK:It depends on what I like. I like your high octave, you're like anyway.
DYLAN STREET:So so they get hit with this ad because we're you know, we're paying facebook to use the data of what they know about this person. Okay, yes, they see the ad, they're like oh, wow, that's good. And then they read it and they're like wow, you know, that's really nice, really excited now goes further than that.
DYLAN STREET:Then they hit, you know, get offer, get quote, learn more, whatever they click it and then it's like, hey, we're big, bad brad sheds and we can't wait to sell a structure for you. All of ours are, you know, built to last forever. And and you're like, wow, that's wow, wow, that's really good. And then they hit next, and then it says what type of structure are you interested in? Do you want a cabin.
SHED GEEK:I can't quit laughing in my head.
DYLAN STREET:I'm sorry, it's all good, I'll just keep going. Just turn around you go.
DYLAN STREET:So keep going. Yeah, just turn around. You go, um. So what are you interested? What type of structure are you interested in? Cabin, a utility shed, a tiny home pergola or other? You know what I mean. Whatever we're asking, right, and then they click one, then it goes to the next slide and that next slide says hey, um, you know we're not going to share your data with anyone, but one of our um sales folks will reach out shortly. So we get their name, their phone number, their email and their zip code.
DYLAN STREET:So we're targeting the person that has been searching for this ad. They love what they're seeing. They fill out and give us their name, phone number, email, zip code and tell us what they're interested in. Then they submit it and a lot of them. There's a second call to action where they can go design, use your 3d builder or go to your website and a lot of them do that as well. And so boom, you know you've got a lead. But then the sales guy tries calling one time at 10 47 am in the morning, right, and then they nobody answers. Like freaking leads.
DYLAN STREET:Suck, you know what I mean and I'm just like a good lead at all and it's just what's crazy is it's like man, they might be at work like you. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like, why don't you text them first? Because I found that a lot of folks, when they even text or they'll email first. Well, it's this big email. Hey, I'm dylan. We believe in our sheds. We're amazing, yada, yada. Here is a pamphlet about everything that we offer and this shed specifically. It's just a lot of stuff and it's in their email and it may or may not look like spam, you really don't know. But then you just give up. What I would do if it's in the middle of the day and I'm not selling sheds here, but I just know how people work and I'm not selling sheds here, but I just know how people work and like, if you call my wife, she's likely to hit end and then be like text. You like, hey, I'm busy, what's up? You know?
Speaker 3:what.
DYLAN STREET:I mean that's just where we're at. You know what I mean. Especially with online engaged shoppers tend to be more like that. So what I would do is I would text and be like hey, it's Dylan at Big Bad Brad Sheds. Do is I would text me like, hey, it's dylan at big bad brad sheds got your inquiry. Tell me. Uh, holler at me when you're available in a little bit and I'll give you a call yeah, that's it you know, let me see where that goes.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, and then, if they don't, I'll call the next day, then email, and then, if I don't get nothing for three days, you start the process. I mean, there's so many ways to do it and I don't want to act onto your lot.
SHED GEEK:I mean you'd have to judge yourself by your own criteria in terms of like something you did brought that lead there. Right, they pulled in. They saw your shed sitting out there. Maybe it was colors, the style, the design, maybe it was a referral from someone else, who knows but they pulled in. Like, how many of those are you closing? Are you keeping up with your closing ratio? Cause, like we think it's important to keep up with a closing ratio of your leads too.
SHED GEEK:But I mean, I, I at one point I was keeping up with, you know, the traffic on my lot and we come to the conclusion that you know, one out of four people who showed up on the lot, you know we were getting a close and I don't know that was 25%. I kind of felt like, hey, that's I. You know, I had no idea. I'm like on a national average, or inside of sheds or even in another industry, how well is that? But one out of four people are buying. So I'm using the same logic to sort of apply to like the digital storefront and be like man if you pay for 100 leads, you get 100 leads and your average, you know, cpc is I don't know 450 or something like that. Yeah, I know, I don't know $450 or something like that. Yeah, I know $250. I don't know, you know, but just saying even $5, saying $5 at $100, you spent you know $500 or whatever and you're like, well, but what if I closed 25 of those? Is that reality? And if you did, it's a pretty good month.
DYLAN STREET:I thought you were saying cost per clicks, you were saying cost per conversion.
SHED GEEK:I'm sorry, yeah, yeah $450 is not bad for a lead, not at all yeah. So, like I guess I'm just thinking, like you know, you have to measure yourself by your own criteria of like how valuable a lead is, because these are people who are? Online actively looking for your specific product. They're not just scrolling through Facebook and they're interrupted by a mini barn ad. Yeah, these are big, bad big bread sheds yeah, like this is.
SHED GEEK:This is people who are like actively searching for specific things. That's a hotter lead, which is why we say google is a hotter lead than facebook, but it costs cost more, cost more.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, it costs more. I think it balances out really good. You know um and then you know on google, of course, you, you they're, they're searching for a keyword and then they click it and then they go to your website. You know you want them to fill out a lead form or use your 3d builder. Call you or email you or whatever conversion, you know yeah, it's all.
SHED GEEK:It's all very interesting. So, like, I think eventually we want to take a look at trying to find ways to help those in just a more challenging budget who want to be on these levels. At the same time, we're not trying to create anarchy inside of any of these companies, because they're doing a great job that it's. These companies are believing a lot in you because there's not a lot of industries that will bring you floor plan something for you know, 100, 100 to 150 grand of free material yeah and like let you sell and get a percent it's so unique.
SHED GEEK:So, like you know, the dealers, it's almost as though, like you know, do you really have, like you know, the freedom to complain at someone who's already doing something so good, but then, at the same time, it's like if you want to sell the products, who's going to be the one to? To measure up to the way the digital landscape and the sales process is changing in our lives. It's it's not got nothing to do with what me and dylan's promoting. Like this is the way shoppers shop. Yeah, I mean you. You do marketing, even outside of sheds for power sports companies, all these other companies, and it's kind of like you see the same results in those.
DYLAN STREET:It's all very similar, man, I would say, the only thing that's different, completely different from what sheds and other is like e-commerce. That's a different ballgame. You know what I mean? There are some shed companies like what's that big Heartland?
SHED GEEK:think harley and sheds uh, there is, yeah, there is a heartland they have.
DYLAN STREET:You know, they have kind of like some tough shed, smaller, more basic sheds you can get online, just buy it and yeah, it'll be shipped there.
SHED GEEK:You know what I mean.
DYLAN STREET:There's you know that's e-commerce, but that's not. That's like six percent of the shed industry. Right now it doesn't hardly exist. So you know it's all very similar, man. It all works very similarly. You just have to know your audience and and how to target them. And your branding has to be good, your promotions have to be good, your images have to be good, your salesmen have to be good. Like you know, it goes all the way down and if there's a bottleneck in the process you can fail. You know. You know what I mean. Yeah, like some people fail just because they don't follow up enough.
SHED GEEK:Dude? Yeah, for sure, all day long, you know, and I think that's why sales, training and all that's so important. Yeah, I mean, I think that was why and I don't know if this have to get edited out, I'm trying to figure it out but I mean, that was the original thought behind like shed, you, you know, and and then you know, matt took that and ran with it, but it looks like I may be, um, not rebranding, but, you know, just staying with shed, you and, uh, maybe trying to take it to a new level okay and I don't know what that's going to look like, but we'll see.
SHED GEEK:Um praise the lord, all I can do is really think about it. Why just think about it right now and see, you know, is there a way we can help? But a lot of that had to do with sales training, because I think sales training is absolutely necessary. Because if you're big enough to distinguish the difference in sales and marketing as a company, if you're a small company and you wear all the hats, well hey, you know you do all the work. But if you can start to differentiate, you know, like understanding, what the sales process looks like. We'll, we'll see. Like we're busy, yeah me and you both, we're busy.
SHED GEEK:Are we too busy? Are we, are we serial entrepreneurs? Are we too busy? Which one? How would you answer that?
DYLAN STREET:What's your definition of serial entrepreneur?
SHED GEEK:I would say oh gosh. Like you know, whether intentional or not, I think it's just somebody who sees opportunity.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, my wife would say you know, intentional or not, I think it's just somebody who sees opportunity. Yeah, my wife would say, yes, you say like. You know, you need to, you need to like, find a few things to let go of and I'm just like I'll fill it up with with something else. Well, I'll fill it up with one of these other things and just go harder. You know what I mean, like it's not, so I guess I would be that I don't really like that term.
DYLAN STREET:Serial entrepreneur it sounds just a little, a little hokey. Yeah, whatever. I don't know what hokey means either, but I'll go with it.
SHED GEEK:Sounds too formal. Serial entrepreneur. I don't know, it's just a buzzword man, it's just what people say, but I think you am I supposed to do Not see it. You know what I mean. But you talk to a lot of people and I think if you authentically listen to them, I mean you hear what the people want and I'm like you're going to go do it and they're like no, I'm like okay, cool, maybe I'll give it a shot, but so far I feel like God's really blessed me with a tremendous amount of opportunity.
DYLAN STREET:I think you're just getting started.
SHED GEEK:Yeah well, praise the Lord, it's dealing with street. Praise the Lord. What questions do you got for me before we go? I'll let you out of here. I know you're hungry, you want to go eat?
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, well, I don't even know. See Jay Bella's, which is the greatest pizza on the planet, right here in Paducah. He's on the beach today, and if the owner's not there making the pizza, they're shutting down. I promise they won't run the store. If he's not there, he won't let a pizza go out, and so he's gone. So now somebody's got my debit card and they're just going to show up with something I don't know what it is.
SHED GEEK:You're getting Burger.
DYLAN STREET:King bro, I hope not, because I don't like fast food, that chicken I like god's chicken, chick-fil-a. But yeah, jesus chicken, yeah, yeah, uh, better not be no mcdonald's man, I'll take just hamburgers, that's you know that's an exception. Anyway, way off track, here my questions for you how does shed geek rentals work with shed geek marketing? Uh, he set me up, I did.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, that's cool well, obviously not knowing that I would. So like I kind of felt like I had to get into in the rentals game and, like you've been in it well, I have.
SHED GEEK:I mean, I started the podcast. I was a, I was a rep for, for for rto and, like my goal back then even when tyler mayhem like gave us the phrase, you know, rising tide of the salt boats was like man, like why can't you walk across the aisle and shake the hand of your you know competitor? Even I like get on a podcast and have conversation. So I've I found the the space to be kind of unique and and I kind of felt like even when we started marketing, like because rent to own probably is what 50 of all shed sales you know, nationwide, who knows? But because it's got such a big imprint like you kind of feel where people push their weight around with money and and you're like you know, it's almost like you've got to weaponize money.
SHED GEEK:Yeah Right, and I'm like, well, I hate to. I hate to not be able to move forward because of things like that. So it was like there was tons of offers on the table.
SHED GEEK:Dude, just to be straight up with you, tons of offers and, and I'm them like the fact that you guys would see some value in me when there was a point in my life where I saw no value in myself. Yeah, it's pretty amazing for the testimony of what God can do just for you. Yeah, that like these people, I like like appreciate so much as a business mind, as a professional, just as a yeah you know, and I'm like, wow, they think something of me.
SHED GEEK:That's a big confidence booster, right sure but you don't want your ego to get you know too far out there. So, um, yeah, man, I just thought you know what I want to. I have a platform. I love speaking to the industry, but I mean no harm to anyone else. It's just tough because everyone already has rto. So you're kind of. You're kind of the only way to do it is to really kind of take a customer yeah, in many ways, whereas with marketing. So I'm gonna get to your question. But, like with with marketing, it's kind of wide open. It's a wild wild west. There's a few companies, but so many people still need this and it's kind of like what rentone was 10 years ago in the heyday.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, it's like I don't even expect to like be the biggest RTO company. I don't expect to. Like you know, I have no expectations. I'm taking what God provides and nothing more, and I'm not leaving anything behind. So what we did was something unique with with shed geek Reynolds when we started talking about it, and that was these dealer premiums You've heard me like complaining about for like five years now. Right, and I'm like you, you know I get it. You're trying to maintain, you're trying to like give your maximum efforts to retention. Yeah, so like hey, again weaponizing money. I'll tell you three percent.
SHED GEEK:hey, stay with me, it's a check hard cash there you go, go buy you a meal at the end of the day, whatever. We were like, yeah, that's good, but then like where does it stop? Right? Yeah, because there's only so much yield in an rto because there aren't some people up to like seven and eight I've heard nine percent ain't no way, yeah, and I just don't know.
DYLAN STREET:I just don't know like that that's sustainable.
SHED GEEK:But listen to me telling them what to do with their business. Yeah, like, but. But here's what happens. It's like you know, somebody says I'll give you four, next guy's like I'll give you five, and I'm like you know, no one's doing anything service-based yeah it's like me and you're talking about this.
SHED GEEK:I'm like no one's doing anything. Service-based and marketing is on the rise and it is service-based, so why don't we just hop in there and say hey, man, instead of like, giving you five percent, wait for the next guy to give you six, and you say so long you're a nice guy what if we like, provide so much value to your company through good marketing? Right, so like, we'll gift you marketing? Yeah, in many cases we'll be like hey, your marketing's free, just use our rto services.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, your marketing's free yeah, and if you all in one, yeah and if you, and if you do that now, we're going to be tied at the hip in such a way that, like you're going to feel like you have a company working for you yeah but you're not having to work for the company shannon, I want to make a bet okay what?
DYLAN STREET:how long before an rto company opens up a marketing sector?
SHED GEEK:if it's, if it's not already in the works, like I'm, I'm willing to say pretty soon what's pretty soon oh gosh, I don't know like there's a lot of conversation buzz around marketing right now, cause like people are trying to identify like what it is.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:What is it and what is it in the shed industry and some guys got a really good lock on it.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:And like no offense. But some guys are like no clue.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:No clue. So, um, yeah, I think I don't know this year for sure. Yeah, next three months, six months, like your first movers advantage, don't stay long. Like, uh, this is gonna sound like a statement of arrogance, I know. So, lord, help me say it humbly. But like, do you know how many people told me after I started the podcast like that it wouldn't work? And then you know how many people told me, man, I was gonna do that. I was like it was on the docket next week I was actually getting ready to come out with a podcast and you're just like, I know, I know, I know.
DYLAN STREET:When I opened the Slingshot Rental Company here in Paducah I had, I don't know, it was a couple years later. I was like you know I was about to do that. I was about to do that, I was like really. There's probably most people in this area who's probably never even had the thought go through their mind thought go through their mind.
SHED GEEK:You know, I saw a facebook post by matt zimmerman recently as a shed hauler, and it was talking about how men really value their legacy. Yeah, and like the important part of what who they are and what they do on this earth really matters. And I agree with that because that's when I found myself at a depression, when I felt like I had no identity. I had to find god to find my identity. Yeah, so so I agree, dude, that like you know you, you just you know. It's not personal, but I think, even seeing some of these other things launch in the shed industry, I almost think that there's like a bitterness in people occasionally and I'm being bold today speaking on this but almost a bitterness to be like they're upset that they didn't do it or didn't try it. And this is why I always tell people man, like your unique gift may blow mine out of the water, so like this is not an offense to you that me or someone else would start something or do something.
SHED GEEK:We're just trying to be obedient yeah but if you go be obedient, it may blast my ideas out of the water yeah but go do them, no matter what they are like just stay true to them and do them.
DYLAN STREET:You said something, um, I don't remember what it was. We, we were on a trip or something and you said somebody was talking about doing a podcast or something. You're like yeah well, I hope you do better than me. It'll make me do better. What's your?
SHED GEEK:Yeah well, my reasoning is like you know, no, you're already covering that space, somebody else shouldn't do it. And I'm like no man, come do it yeah come do it and be passionate about it and do better than me, because it'll it'll encourage me to improve. That's what competition does. Collaboration is a good thing, but competition makes us better. If one guy was a gatekeeper and he said I do this, that's a monopoly like I've got a lockdown on this and no one else can do it because I'm doing it.
SHED GEEK:I'm doing it well yeah, then I'll then all of a sudden it's like yeah, but you have this massive amount of control yeah. Yeah, and like you, never improve.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:Systems don't improve, it doesn't become better for the consumer. Like I actually want someone, if they're going to do it, to like do a good job, and I'll be like man, that guy's killing it, yeah, like that's my exit or that's like God telling me it's time for you to. You know, do something else or whatever.
SHED GEEK:B ut I mean whoever you are today. If you're listening, whatever you've been gifted with it's probably better than my gift.
DYLAN STREET:Man, I'm about to catch the Holy Ghost, bro, come on.
SHED GEEK:Just go do it. Though obedient word. The word says obedience is greater than sacrifice. Yeah, so just be obedient, it doesn't matter what you lose in the process. Oh, this guy's gonna think that of me. Yeah, right, you know what I mean. Oh, this person, what, bro? Talk to the lord. He's got your back. People don't got your back. He's got your back. You know cattle on a your back. He's got your back. You know it's a cattle on a thousand Hills. Be obedient and go through it. As my pastor says, grow through it, don't go through it.
DYLAN STREET:So am I still asking the questions? Yeah?
SHED GEEK:I guess Go for it yeah.
DYLAN STREET:I saw miss Susan yeah. So yeah the shed gal. Yeah of said, yeah, the shed gal, yes, of course the one. And only I saw, uh, she posted a logo on facebook the other day okay, do you?
SHED GEEK:did you see it?
DYLAN STREET:uh, like, like the like me, susan and sam um no, I don't know, I thought it was just her. It said shed trader. It was a logo. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, I got you yeah is that still a hidden secret, or no?
SHED GEEK:no, it's out there, and by the time this podcast comes out, who knows, I might have done one of those or put it out. But yeah, so, man, that's. That's an example of collaborative efforts coming together ideas. You like to call it my little shed, my little magazine magazine business. Um, yeah, man, like uh I was, I was lucky to get like voted in on, uh, on a group of people that just, you know movers and shakers and wanted to do something. And we've seen e-commerce in the industry with, like sheds for sale and shed hub and, uh, well, I think, shed suite. You know like a lot of what they do, probably the dms system with rto national forgive me if I'm getting that wrong. It's great system, so I'm not throwing any shade there.
DYLAN STREET:Um no, I love rto system I saw it on, we took over someone's site I don't remember who it was and they used rto nationals and it's pretty nice dude.
SHED GEEK:I've already talked like phil falls. He's on my, he's on my um, you know, mount rushmore shed. So I love the dude, I think he's great, you know, uh and his company, but um, um you talking about their like inventory?
SHED GEEK:yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, top notch, yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah, so you know that's the thing you can like. It's crazy. You can pay a compliment to people without it like costing you anything. But uh, I'm not trying to preach at people, I need to quit, um, but yeah, shed trader is like you know, it's the old school way of what you've seen with like Auto Trader man. Auto Trader Like you know we go. You see, like the thrifty nickels. You see all the stuff like the. You know I'm sure Farmer does it here locally. You know they put their stuff out in a magazine that says it big johns or something, right, you know, and I think a lot of people still look at that for like tractor equipment. You know, homes and things like that.
SHED GEEK:So we were like, why not do it for sheds? And we have such a plain community like the amish. Yeah, that are gonna like I feel like they would come closer to supporting something like that than an e-commerce platform, because this is this is something that's already, like you know, in the wheelhouse.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, the, the church is very aware of, like, how publication works well, let me ask you this though who who um chooses what sheds get in it like? Is this like a shed hub?
SHED GEEK:sheds for sale yeah, yeah, I mean essentially on paper.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, it'll be. You early thoughts are right now for, like, it'll be regionally, by state. Basically, yeah, and you know, the idea is that you'll sign up and, yes, you'll be in there with other shed folks but you know it'll be the same. As you know your shed lot's on the same road as someone else's. You can't shut it down right. So, like, for us to make it work, you've got to sell to the opportunity. So to make it work, you got to sell to the opportunity.
Speaker 3:So, for those who want to have theirs in there.
SHED GEEK:All they got to do is reach out to us. Nice, you know, be a charge for it. Of course, it's how you monetize it, and you know, yeah, we'll distribute them out to different places, and how fast?
SHED GEEK:yeah, is this going to roll out roughly yeah, I don't know, I'm probably, I'm probably hesitant to answer that question because I think that we're still, I think you're always improving. But so like I'm probably hesitant to answer that question because I think that we're still, I think you're always improving, but so like I'm probably the slowest mover of the five of us. Let's put it like that yeah. I'm probably the guy who's like I don't know. Let's think about that for a year.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah.
SHED GEEK:So, like the rest of them are sales guys, you're coming out of that, shannon.
DYLAN STREET:A little not a little, a little, it's really not a little. Let's, let's, let's move on. And we got, I got a one o'clock so, but I got more questions. Um. So, new guests coming on the show, new guests, new guests, uh, the shed gal and oh yeah, thy shed king.
SHED GEEK:Yes, I like that. Yeah, sam sam, I call him sam ambassador but yeah, absolutely, uh, big personalities. You know what I'm saying.
DYLAN STREET:Similar hair.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, similar hair, I'm just kidding Sam, I'm just playing.
DYLAN STREET:Don't beat me up, dude. All right, I don't want no smoke.
SHED GEEK:Yeah, they're just, you know, and they're passionate about the industry and you're not going to stop that. So it's like, man, why not work with that? Because that's awesome dude, to be able to collaborate.
DYLAN STREET:Y'all were all at the Shed Holler Bash and whenever they were lining up to eat the steak right. And you and Susan were working and doing the I don't know the signing to get your steak or whatever, and Sam.
SHED GEEK:And I was just watching all y'all work and how you talk and communicate with people and like y'all are some peas in a pot dude. Yeah, well, I feel like I'm the the quietest of the three. Yeah, probably. I feel like I'm probably the most reserved, like sam is a whole vibe in itself.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, like just just walking around.
SHED GEEK:he's just. He's just sam. Yeah, you know, love him or hate him, he is who he is. You know I love the guy. He's been a good friend for many years now. Susan I'm getting more familiar with I know she's been in the industry for a long time, but man, they're just passionate behind the scenes. Yeah, and there might be more, I don't know.
SHED GEEK:There's actually been talks about just running the show five days a week. And yeah, for people who are like, man, I can't listen five days a week, I'm like, oh, we don't expect you to, man yeah like we're just gonna put content out there.
DYLAN STREET:We've even talked about doing like an internet radio station man, we could take, like, live questions and things like that. We don't we. We need to cut this up. We need to do a short form on all of you all, just constantly putting short form of all the good stuff, but anyway, we could go on for forever. And I've got a mystery lunch and I've got a one o'clock so praise the Lord.
SHED GEEK:We gotta go, that's right. We haven't prayed a while in the show. Do you care to?
DYLAN STREET:pray us out.
SHED GEEK:I feel like I haven't been staying on top of it.
DYLAN STREET:Yeah, very well, father. We just thank you, lord. We just thank you for this time together, lord, and we thank you for what you've done for us and our lives and our family. Lord, I just pray for protection and peace over me and Shannon, our family and the whole shed industry, lord, from the East Coast to the West Coast, and if they're selling sheds overseas, we pray for them too. Lord, we just thank you for everything and we love you and we honor you in Jesus' name. Amen, amen, appreciate you.
