8. Do a post card mailing to a selected neighborhood.
9. Use job site and yard signs with brochure boxes on them.
10. Contact contractors, architects, home builders, remodelers etc.
11. Direct mail to prospects to introduce your services.
12. Network. Join the Chamber of Commerce, Home Builders Assoc., Remodeler’s Assoc., Jaycees, Rotary, Kiwanis.
13. Letter your vehicle and trailer with your name, phone number and website.
14. When doing a job in a neighborhood, use door hangers or direct mail to alert the neighbors for blocks around. Invite them to come by to look and touch.
15. Hand out inexpensive flyers.
16. Hand out a lot of business cards.
17. Have inserts placed in shopping guides and home sale guides. Most publications allow you to pick certain zones or neighborhoods.
18. Do an installation for civic attractions or fronts of businesses. Part of the deal must allow you to leave a permanent job sign or identification medallion.
19. Install identification medallions on all publicly visible projects to show who did the job.
20. Contact Home Depot or Lowe's, etc., to do demo at their store for their customers. Store managers differ, some will try innovative things and some are afraid to do anything. Many stores have contract installation departments.
21. Contact Realtors. They can advise home sellers to dress up their driveways for instant curb appeal.
22. Hang a brochure or information box on your trailer. Letter it “FREE INFO -TAKE ONE” Then wherever you are with your trailer, in a shopping center parking lot, on the job site, or just stopping by the convenience store for a drink, you are effortlessly spreading the word about your business.
23. Be aware of the job site passersby. Make an extra effort to smile and wave at those who slow down and look. When they pull over and walk up to your job, continue to operate momentarily to show them some of how the job is done, then shut off the machine or whatever you are doing to chat for a bit. That person could easily be your next customer and that customer’s neighbor will be the job after that. It all snowballs into an avalanche of customers.
24. Did you know that newspaper editors and writers are looking for stories for everyday columns and features? They need feature stories for the Sunday real estate and family living sections and for the business section. You and your business will be interesting to them. Historically, when an Engrave-A-Crete System owner has an article published about them they get a large increase in business.
25. After you get the above article about you published, buy space and run it as an advertisement. (Advertorial.)
26. Have the above published article laminated and put it in your sales photo album. That article will make you the local expert and will give you great credibility with your customers.
27. When someone looks at a newspaper, the first things they read are the headlines then they look at the pictures and read the captions beneath the pictures. So, on one of your finished projects create an advertisement that looks like a newspaper photo. Take a photograph of some active working people.
28. Go for a drive. Take your lettered truck and a trailer into areas where you want to work.
