From Bauma to a Social Media Giant
The way construction machinery is presented and marketed today has changed radically over the last decade. Stehr Baumaschinen GmbH not only recognized this development early on but has also pioneered it across the industry. A decisive turning point was the year 2013: After participating in the bauma trade fair in Munich, which involved enormous costs, the management made a forward-looking decision. They realized that the customer acquisition of the future would no longer primarily take place at traditional, expensive trade fairs, but in the digital world – specifically through strategic social media marketing and highly professional video production.
To consistently implement this vision, a proven IT and media expert was brought into the team. As a specialist dedicated exclusively to this digital presence every day, he combines a wide range of skills: From creating fast-paced action videos on job sites, maintaining the homepage, and designing brochures, to providing in-house IT support.
As a medium-sized enterprise from Storndorf in Upper Hesse, Germany, we are causing a digital stir in the compact construction machinery sector: On Facebook alone, we record an average of 500,000 to 600,000 views per month and have already reached a total of 6 million views with our videos. On TikTok, some of our clips have even gone viral with over 30 million views.
Our Managing Director Jürgen Stehr hits the nail on the head regarding this development:
Instead, we rely on our own EXPO, which we host directly on our 70,000-square-meter demonstration and testing grounds. True to his motto: "Marketing is part of the business."
