Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Bann Business Solutions operates a viable boutique marketing agency focusing on the home services niche, providing clear real-world utility. However, the submission is severely penalized for exaggerated and unsupported claims, such as stating 'everyone' is their audience and 'most people have used my product'. Additionally, despite listing AI and machine learning, there is no evidence of technical innovation or custom technology. The score reflects a functioning traditional business heavily discounted by vague metrics and low response quality.

Description
We provide best in class marketing services both locally and nationally to businesses generally involved in the world of home services and direct-to-consumer marketing. Our focus starts off with data and a strong emphasis in the “Home Service” space. While the term Marketing Services can be pretty general our focus will be on reaching prospects at their home thru offerings like; data & modeling, direct mail, email, social media, digital direct mail, display advertising, mobile, location based, and hybrid offerings like identity resolution, intent driven, recruitment and others that are developed internally or by our partners and more. We differentiate ourselves by beginning and ending all offerings with our data capabilities. Those capabilities will include but not be limited to: modeling, predictive, Intent, AI & machine learning, attribution, analytics, optimization and more. We work with national, regional, and local Franchisors, dealers and ecommerce providers, Zerorez, RbA, HOM Furniture, and more. We call and directly work the C-suite down to marketing managers. We are headquartered in MN but we do not focus on any Geography. We deal with clients across the country, including both coasts and the heartland. As a boutique provider we could be viewed as too small a player but our track record of working larger accounts and bringing unique offerings that are not readily available has served us well and will continue to so in the future. Our smaller size also allows us to be more flexible both in what we offer and how we charge for it.
