About Lift & Shift

Lift & Shift Inc is a B2B Reward Program specialist that works with large and medium-sized B2B companies who want to grow. They help their clients with custom-built performance-based reward programs which incrementally increase revenue and profit margin at a cost of less than 4% of revenue.

Unlike traditional rebate programs, Lift & Shift offers a measurable increase in sales and profit without any effort from the sales team, and only get paid based on the results delivered.

The Problem

Lift & Shift competes with companies which are substantially bigger. As a relative newcomer in the industry of B2B loyalty programs they needed a website and digital marketing strategy to quickly establish and grow their online presence.

Engagement Details

Together with the team at Lift & Shift we created a Digital Marketing Strategy. We identified and clearly defined the Ideal Client and their needs. Unique Selling Propositions were defined based on competitive research and client interviews. A brand narrative was created, and used to create the core website content.

We then created a website on the Duda platform and a Digital Marketing System to continuously optimize and enhance the web presence of Lift & Shift. It includes:

  • Content marketing
  • Search engine optimization 
  • Social media
  • Online advertising

ROI Calculator

A custom Return on Investment Calculator assists potential clients assessing the ROI of a custom B2B Loyalty Programme by Lift & Shift. We created the algorithm behind the calculator based on the experience the company has gained from their clients over the years.

Sales Intelligence

Our Sales Intelligence platform provides the Lift & Shift sales team with the following functionality:

  • Call tracking and recording of phone calls to the various platforms (website, Google Business Profile, Bing Ads etc.)
  • Tracking of anonymous visitors to the website generating information based on their IP address
  • Connecting website activity with CRM and email marketing platform for visibility on lead activity
  • “Who’s Shopping” functionality: creating lead lists of people looking for a loyalty programme based on their online activity
  • Contact lookup functionality to generate lists for cold outreach based on industry, company size, location and job function.

Testimonial from Graham Farrell, CEO, Lift and Shift

We began working with Mawazo in February in an effort to beef up our online presence; we were very impressed with how they approached our digital marketing strategy, starting with a competitive review of our industry, an exhaustive key word search, then the development of buyer personas to help focus our efforts. We saw immediate results. Would highly recommend.
