Partnering with MoreSALES
To add some fuel to their growth plans, Toshont Power Products engaged MoreSALES to provide strategic and tactical marketing guidance. Among the initiatives undertaken by MoreSALES were:
- Re-tooling the website for e-commerce and implementing a SEO strategy
- Creation of strategic marketing content
- Implementation and management of lead nurturing marketing automation
e-Commerce Website
Already having an online catalogue of products, Toshont was ready to take the next step to build a full e-Commerce site in order to sell it’s most commonly stocked motors and drives. After making a number of site enhancements, work began on the online store which is expected to go live before the end of January 2021. With a fresh look and feel to the website, MoreSALES created and implemented a new SEO strategy to drive more traffic to the site. Within a few months, Toshont was seeing upward trends in traffic, engagement and conversions improving overall website ROI.
“We meet with MoreSALES quarterly to review web results and we were pleased to see in Q4 a 31% increase in Organic traffic and a 45% increase in overall traffic while maintaining a healthy conversion rate.”

Strategic Content Development
At the time of engagement, Toshont had little to no experience utilizing Marketing Automation to nurture leads. When it came to developing strategic marketing content, Toshont was experiencing the same issue faced by most SMB’s which is a lack of time and resources to create content on a consistent basis. To help in this matter, MoreSALES worked with Toshont to establish a calendar outlining specific keyword focused content needed to support the SEO strategy and drive more traffic to the website. To take on some of the heavy lifting, MoreSALES writes blog content based on bullet points provided by Toshont. This ensures they are putting out consistent content of value for their prospects and clients.
Our blogs are sent out as part of monthly newsletters designed by MoreSALES and are posted to Toshont’s website and social media channels to increase exposure.
“MoreSALES has done a great job managing our content strategy. Not only has this saved us time but the results are reflected in the positive numbers we’re seeing.”

Marketing Automation Management
When we first met with Toshont, they were in the early stages of adopting CRM and consequently, had a very fragmented database. Our team went to work right away to compile their contacts from multiple databases into one central platform for the purposes of consistent and professional lead nurturing.
MoreSALES proudly partnered with Toshont to setup and manage the SharpSpring marketing automation platform. This provided the tools and manpower to enable Toshont to proactively engage with contacts to help increase share of wallet with existing accounts and help move new prospects toward purchase readiness.
“With the help of MoreSALES, we have been able to more clearly identify new opportunities in our database and pursue them with a more systematic approach.”

At the time of writing this blog, MoreSALES is currently developing a Google Ads and LinkedIn Ad campaign for Toshont and we look forward to a time when we can get together with them in person to start on their upcoming video project.
MoreSALES appreciates working with the talented team at Toshont Power Products and looks forward to helping them generate even better results through 2021 and beyond.
