Here are four ways to keep new prospects coming to your door.
1. Site Signage. Contractor site signs have been used for decades to let the public know who the general contractor is on a project. Even in this age of technology, this simple marketing tool is extremely effective. The site sign clearly connects you with a certain type of project, commercial or residential. The more often a potential client sees your site signs, the higher your reputation grows in his mind.
2. Real Estate Networking. Few prospects are as strong as those who come via personal referral. Real estate agents can be one of your best referral contacts. They know who is looking for property with intent to build. Join networking groups that include real estate agents and get to know them. Send them referrals when you can and you’re likely to see them reciprocate.
3. Video Marketing. Recent marketing statistics say 72% of consumers prefer learning about a service or product through video versus text. Virtual walk-thru tours aren’t just for real estate. They can be a great tool for showing off your best projects and attracting those new clients.
4. Reviews. Yelp and Google Business, along with other review sites, have become the go-to source for checking on the reputation of a business. General contractors are no exception. Encourage your clients to leave testimonials in these places. You can make it extra easy for them by sending them a link and instructions on how to leave a review in an email after the project has been completed.
It’s a competitive climate for general contractors. You need to use every advantage to gain the trust of new clients. The Clausen Agency, Inc. can help you focus on growing your business without worries about risk management. Ask us about testimonials from our other general contractor clients.
