Marketing a Handyman Service
Promotional tactics for handyman services are exceptionally diverse. But in our experience, there are a handful of tips and strategies that will deliver the best return for your marketing efforts.
As a business owner, it's imperative to understand that your financial metrics are inextricably linked to your marketing capacity.
By leveraging today's best marketing techniques, any handyman service can achieve greater marketing dominance through strategic marketing and robust value messaging
Building A Community Around Your Brand
Social media is an up and coming marketing channel, primarily because it coalesces a community around brands. Whether they realize it or not handyman services are struggling to find ways to communicate directly with customers - and for businesses, that's the whole point of maintaining an active presence in social media. Direct mail campaigns featuring mailing lists from a reliable list partner can jumpstart a social media drive by expanding your customer base and alerting them to your social media presence.
Encourage Word of Mouth Referrals
Most owners of handyman services rely on a certain amount of word of mouth marketing buzz to communicate brand values and product messaging.
Many business owners mistakenly believe that word of mouth is largely outside of their control, when in fact, networking and other strategies can significantly increase the amount of buzz that is generated about your brand. Mind you, there's a difference between word of mouth marketing and viral marketing -- if word of mouth marketing is a new concept for you, you might want to hire a marketing consultant.
Customer Awareness
Many of the highest performing handyman services go out of their way to maintain clear channels of communication with their customers. In this market sector, managers and promoters need to be extremely familiar with their customers' needs and purchasing preferences. Businesses that market blindly fail to achieve acceptable ROI for their efforts. By improving market awareness, small companies can often establish more meaningful customer connections than their competitors.
