Ever feel like you're in a bit of a business rut? Maybe you're struggling to get started or looking for new ways to bring in exciting customers. Sometimes, we need a little kickstart to get back on track. Today, we have a few tips to help move past any blasting business blocks you may be facing. Let's get business booming!
If you are looking to drum up new business, develop new relationships.
Get out in the community - look around and see the needs in local companies that could benefit from your services. Capitalize on repair and maintenance opportunities. Let people know you are there. Get in touch with local contractors and make them aware of your service solution by advertising, cold calling, putting your business card in local shops, and visiting your chamber of commerce to let them know what services you can provide. Check out our case studies page to get some ideas of places to contact.
If you are just getting started or need a little boost, find some guidance among your peers.
Make contact with other contractors that can give you affirmation about what you are doing and answer those questions when you just aren't too sure about something. Get comfortable with the group and reap the motivation that comes from knowing you have the support of people happy to help. If you own a machine and you're not in the contractor Facebook group already, let us know!
If you want everyone to know about your service, create content don't just talk about it.
We live in a visual society - social media is out there and it is free to use! Start tweeting, using Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more to show off your work. Take before and after pictures of your projects and let those images do some of the talking. Your portfolio will be the truth behind the product. Show everyone out there you are capable of delivering a superior solution in a shorter amount of time than they ever expected. If you're looking for some help in digital marketing, check out our marketing packages and have a digital marketing expert do the hard work for you.
Lastly, if you want to spread the word about your business, DO IT ALL!
There is no job too big or too small. One blasted sidewalk could lead to a building or hotel. One blasted rim could lead to a fleet vehicle. One blasted boat propeller could lead to a 54' yacht. Do work! Have patience and perspective and whatever you do, don't stop.
There are 24 hours in a day, so let's get business booming!
