The cheapest customer is the one you already have

For over a century, Dunn Lumber has served the Seattle community, building second and third-generation customers. They wanted to find a way to continue to provide value to this loyal customer base while investing in the next generation of customers.

Developing fourth-generation customers

When it comes to becoming a contractor, apprenticeships are few and far between, and training programs are hard to come by. Dunn Lumber wanted to create a digital apprenticeship experience, and that’s how Dunn Solutions was born.

Create content to help contractors thrive

I developed a content strategy based on conversations with industry experts, Dunn Lumber customers, and search trends. I worked with second-generation master craftsman Daniel Westbrook and other Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to identify, produce, write and publish blog content on Dunn Solutions to teach the next generation of contractors.

Organic growth, year-over-year
