Marketing for metal stamping companies.

Stamping is a volume business: the right buyer brings years of repeat orders, and the wrong one costs an estimator days on a 50-piece job. We build the campaign around the annual volumes and part sizes your presses are set up for.

02The campaign

How we build it for stamping.

  1. 01

    Built around annual volume

    Ads and keywords focus on production searches, and the form asks for annual volume before anything else.

  2. 02

    Ad groups by process

    Progressive die, deep draw, short run and in-house tooling each get their own ads, so the buyer sees the process they need.

  3. 03

    Tonnage and materials in the ad

    Press tonnage, material thickness and secondary operations go into the ad text to pre-qualify buyers.

  4. 04

    A long sales cycle, measured properly

    Stamping RFQs can take months to close. Every request is logged, so the campaign is judged on jobs won, not last week's clicks.

Blocked before launch

Searches that look close but never become a quote request. They go on the negative list on day one.

  • metal stamping kit
  • jewelry stamping
  • letter stamps
  • leather stamping
  • stamping press for sale
  • stamping jobs

The quote form asks for

  • Drawing or STEP file
  • Material and thickness
  • Annual volume
  • Existing or new tooling
  • Target start date

Results from one client, from a campaign run by one of Calibre's founders before Calibre was founded. Campaign ran October 2022 to November 2023 at $1,000 a month. Jobs won to date (September 2026) include repeat orders and follow-ups after the campaign ended. Revenue shown is value of jobs won, not profit. Past results don't guarantee future results.

05FAQ

Common questions.

Is Google Ads useful for high-volume work?

Yes, as long as it's aimed at it. Production buyers search with process words like progressive die or deep draw. Those searches are fewer but worth far more, and that's where the budget goes.

Will we get hobby and jewelry stamping searches?

Not once they're blocked, and they are before launch: jewelry, leather, letter stamps and stamping kits are on the negative list from day one.

How do you report on a long sales cycle?

Weekly reports show spend, requests and cost per request. Each request is logged with its value and status, so as jobs close, the report shows revenue against ad spend.
