See what sets Habersham apart.

Where we are starting

Strong craft and a trusted name.
The goal now is a full calendar.

Habersham has the product, the reputation, and a client base that runs in the right circles. The immediate priority is filling August through October production. The longer goal is a pipeline that keeps the floor full beyond any single season.

What success looks like

We measure the things that move revenue.

Every effort is tied to qualified opportunities and projects on the floor, not traffic or general activity. Three numbers, every month.

Sales Qualified Leads
Contacts that meet the SQL criteria and enter a real project conversation with Lisa.
Drawing Fees & Deposits
The mid-funnel commitment that proves a prospect is serious, and the deposit that books the work.
Projects Closed
Signed work moving onto the production floor. The ultimate measure.
What we deliver

The plan in six moving parts.

Lead Magnet

The Trade Partner's Guide to Specifying Custom Cabinetry, with landing page and opt-in, to bring new contacts into the pipeline.

Current-List Campaigns

Monthly campaigns to past customers and warm leads, built around real availability and value.

Nurture Automation

Automated HubSpot sequences that keep Habersham top of mind and move people toward a conversation.

HubSpot Pipeline

A clean funnel from inquiry to closed, with follow-up automation so no opportunity goes cold.

SEO

Keyword strategy, on-page work, and local presence so the right buyers find you at the moment of intent.

Strategy & Reporting

A monthly strategy call and performance report tied to leads, deposits, and closed projects.

Where we are going

From filling the floor to filling the pipeline.

Now · Jun–Jul

Activate the list.

Re-engage past customers, warm leads, and trade partners to drive deposits and fill August through October.

Build · Summer

Stand up the engine.

Lead capture on the site, nurture automation, the HubSpot pipeline, and the SEO foundation, all built in parallel.

Ongoing

Keep the floor full.

A pipeline that produces qualified projects month after month, so quality work keeps moving, season to season.

The calendar

How the work sequences, May to December.

May
Foundation
Gained access, ran marketing audits, and built the new website.
June
Phase 1
Segment and build HubSpot lists and automations, audit and adjust ad campaigns, reactivate, and start the SEO initiative.
July
Sustain
Quiet window. Nurture and follow-up carry the month.
August
Phase 2 trade
First case study, first collection page, trade-partner emphasis.
Sept
Depth
More case studies and collections, on-page SEO across priority pages.
Oct–Dec
Phase 3
Nurture the slow season, load Q1 2027. No discounting.

We front-load June, respect the late-June and July quiet window, and keep Thanksgiving through New Year minimal.

Who we are talking to

Builders first.

Builders hold the purchasing power and they champion Habersham to their clients. We lead with them, speak directly to the homeowners who initiate and influence a project, and keep architects and designers as a deliberate long-tail for later.

Priority now

Builders

A dependable partner who delivers on time and makes them look good. Direct purchasing power, and they refer the work.

Initiate & influence

Homeowners

A tailored result, craftsmanship, and confidence that the kitchen finally matches the home around it.

Later · long-tail

Architects & Designers

Worth pursuing once the builder engine is running. No designer trade shows now.

The core message

Built for life.

Even in multimillion-dollar homes, the cabinetry too often fails to match the house around it. Habersham is the cabinetry that belongs, engineered and finished for the home it is built for. We do not compete on price. We make the value undeniable.

  • Engineered, not just built
  • Finishes no one can replicate
  • Arrives finished, not assembled on site
  • Cabinets built like furniture
  • The experience is part of the product
Sound bites we lead with “You have invested too much to settle.” “Own a kitchen worthy of your home.” “Every room feels like it was made for you.” For builders: “Your name is on every home you build. Partner with us.” Proof: the Best of Design SouthEast 2026 award, real projects, and the finishes.
The website

Your website has three jobs.

  • Be clear. In seconds, a visitor should know who you are, what you make, and why nothing else compares
  • Convert. An impressed visitor needs a way to act now: a real inquiry form, a clear way to reach sales, and a lead magnet for those not ready yet
  • Track. Analytics on every visit, so we see what is working and where buyers drop off

Let us open the live site and click through it together. I want your honest reaction, and we will note what to keep, fix, and add.
SEO strategy

Found by the right buyers, at the moment of intent.

A builder or designer researches makers in the winter, searches for one in the spring, and specifies Habersham by summer. SEO captures that search and puts you first in the specifying conversation. We aim at high-intent buyers within 90 days of a decision, not vanity traffic.

01

Foundation

Real domain, analytics, and search console. Technical and on-page health resolved.

02

Local

Google Business Profile and Houzz, optimized and active where these buyers look.

03

Cleanup

Remove the old furniture backlinks that muddy the cabinetry positioning.

04

Content

Collection pages and case studies that rank for what buyers search.

Target terms: high-end custom cabinetry, custom painted kitchen cabinets, American-made cabinetry, handcrafted kitchen cabinets, plus the branded Habersham searches.

HubSpot pipeline strategy

A clean funnel from inquiry to closed.

Every contact in one place, every lead followed up automatically, every stage visible in the monthly report.

Marketing needs & priorities

Activate the audience you already own,
then build the engine.

Your fastest path to filled production slots is the list and the relationships you already have. Roughly half your revenue is repeat or referred, yet there is no structured follow-up today. That is the single biggest opportunity in the plan.

Database nurture program

Four tracks from the contacts you already have.

  • Past customers. Reactivation, cross-sell, and a review and referral ask anchored on the Best of Design SouthEast 2026 award
  • Cold and old quotes. Re-open conversations that stalled on timing or price
  • Warm leads. Move active interest toward a drawing fee and deposit
  • Trade partners. Builders and designers who send repeat, high-value work
Where we focus first

Four areas we run actively.

01

Get the website live

Take the new site fully live on the real domain, with lead capture and tracking in place.

02

Manage HubSpot better

Clean segmentation, the lists and automations, and a pipeline that is actually maintained.

03

SEO

Foundation, local presence, content, and the backlink cleanup, started now.

04

Ad management

Audit the current ad campaigns and manage them actively, adjusting to what performs.

The first 90 days

What we build right now.

01

HubSpot lists & automations

Segment the database and build out the lists and automations in HubSpot.

02

Audit & adjust ads

Audit the current ad campaigns and make the adjustments that follow.

03

Reactivate

Launch the reactivation campaigns to past customers and warm leads.

04

SEO initiative

Kick off SEO: foundation, local presence, and the backlink cleanup.

Long sales cycle reality: work we start today may not surface as closed projects until 2027. We plant now and fill the near term from the existing list.

From inquiry to closed

So no opportunity goes cold.

Reporting & cadence

Plan annually. Adjust quarterly. Report monthly.

  • Leading indicators, weekly: opt-ins, email engagement, reactivation replies, new MQLs. These predict the pipeline
  • Lagging indicators, monthly: SQLs, drawing fees, deposits, closed revenue. These confirm it
Months one and two set the baseline. From month three we set stage-conversion and SQL targets and review them quarterly. Because the cycle runs one to three months, June and July activity shows up as closed work in the Aug–Oct window.
Recap & next steps

Where we are, and what is next.

Recap
  • New website built and going live
  • HubSpot segmented, lists and automations in place
  • SEO initiative underway
  • Ad campaigns audited and managed
  • Reactivation driving near-term work from the existing list
Next steps
  • Confirm priorities and the target go-live date
  • Lock the monthly strategy and reporting rhythm
  • We follow up on anything still open on either side
