Ivan’s Painting
Scaling a Local Contractor Into a Premium HOA & Luxury Market LeaderTransforming a word-of-mouth painting company into a high-visibility, high-value brand in the Coachella Valley.
Overview
Ivan’s Painting provides residential painting, deck restoration, and pool resurfacing services throughout Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, and Indian Wells.
When we partnered, Ivan had strong craftsmanship — but inconsistent lead flow and limited positioning within the affluent HOA market.
His goal was simple:
“Make the phone ring.”
My goal was bigger:
Position Ivan’s Painting as a premium, trusted provider for luxury homeowners and large-scale HOA contracts.
The Challenge
• Inconsistent inbound leads
• Heavy reliance on word-of-mouth
• No clear differentiation in a competitive luxury market
• Limited digital systems to nurture high-value clients
• Needed entry into HOA and upscale property networks
My Role
Digital Marketing Strategist | Paid Media | SEO | Content Development | Systems Builder
Strategic Approach
1. Luxury Market Repositioning
We identified and segmented three high-value audiences:
• Luxury homeowners (ages 40–65)
• Luxury property managers
• Real estate agents specializing in high-end properties
Messaging shifted from “affordable painting” to premium finishes, reliability, and HOA-level excellence.
We emphasized:
• High-end materials
• Clean aesthetic aligned with desert luxury trends
• Professionalism + long-term property value
2. Paid Media + Search Engine Marketing
• Built targeted ad sets for each audience segment
• Launched Google Ads campaigns for high-intent searches
• Optimized landing pages for conversion
• Used demographic + geographic targeting focused on affluent Coachella Valley communities
3. SEO + Content Authority
• Implemented keyword strategy using Google Trends & Keyword Planner
• Monthly SEO blog posts with backlinks and structured tagging
• Optimized service pages for painting + pool resurfacing
• Strengthened domain authority within local search
4. Field-Based Content Creation
This wasn’t “remote marketing.”
I documented on-site project work to build trust and authority:
• Behind-the-scenes footage
• HOA repaint transformations
• Short-form video content
• Educational social posts
We created content pillars:
• Brand story
• Education
• Inspiration
• Painting
• Pool resurfacing
• Wood replacement
5. Systemization & Referral Engine
• Built SOPs for automated customer-generated content
• Encouraged homeowner tagging to amplify organic visibility
• Reposted authentic testimonials
• Re-engaged past clients via email marketing
Results
✔ 300% customer base growth in Year 1
✔ 500+ new customers acquired
✔ 20% repeat customer rate via email strategy
✔ Secured major HOA partnership (365 homes + 3 common areas)
✔ Increased high-value lead flow by 20%
✔ Expanded into lucrative pool resurfacing market
Ivan’s Painting became recognized as a top-tier provider within Palm Desert and surrounding communities.
