marketing.

A homeowner who loved their new bath has a kitchen next on the list, and friends who are planning one. Home improvement marketing keeps you in touch for the next room and the next referral.

Quiet remodeling clients

You finished their bath and never wrote again. When they start the kitchen, they search like a stranger.

Unasked remodel referrals

Every happy client knows someone planning a remodel. Nobody asked them to pass your name on.

Flat remodeling market

Renovation spending is barely growing, so new homeowners compare more firms before choosing. The clients you already have are the warmest work you own.

Planning season

A kitchen takes most of a year to decide. A sample remodeler writes to past clients and unsold proposals, and the first reply asks for a design visit.

Example of a sample remodeler, Quenby Design-Build. Before: the last mail Nina P. had from them is 28 months old. After 106 of 860 names are cut, the campaign “Spring design visits” goes to 754, and the email “Two evenings a week for design visits” lands in that inbox. It opens on one line written for them, and they reply. 16 weeks later 31 have replied and the ledger stands at +$3,300. Deposits as paid, before job costs.

Before Twenty-eight months since the last email, and it said thank you.

  1. Before: Twenty-eight months since the last email, and it said thank you.
  2. Landed: The note goes to past clients, unsold proposals and old requests.
  3. Opened: Three finished rooms, and one question: a budget and a start.
  4. Replied: She answers with both. A design visit goes on Ruth’s calendar.
  5. Back: Under zero for two months, then a bath deposit. The kitchen is signed, not yet paid.

    Two evenings a week for design visits

    Hi Nina, you said the kitchen was next once the bath was done.

    Most of the kitchens we build start a year before the first cabinet comes out. If yours is on the list, reply with a rough budget and when you would like to start, and Ruth N. will come by with the questions that shape a design.

The cycle

Marketing works Growth for a remodeler: finished rooms become reviews, referrals and the next room for the same client.

  1. Lead

    Everything that gets you a lead.

    More people find you and reach out.

  2. Prospect

    Turn interest into a sale.

    More of them say yes, and you never chase.

  3. Client

    Keep the job moving.

    Jobs run on time, with less of you managing them.

  4. Kept or closed

    What happens after the job.

    Finished work brings in the next job.

  5. Growth

    Feed it back into the machine.

    Every finished job helps bring the next lead.

    • Marketing

Then it starts again.

CRM: Customers, conversations, bookings, jobs and employee tasks in one place, across all five.

Your questions

How do remodelers get more referrals?

Ask every finished client, in writing, once the punch list is signed off, and make it easy to forward. Then stay in touch, so yours is the name they remember when a friend asks.

What does a home improvement marketing agency do?

It brings in remodeling inquiries and keeps past clients coming back: your site and project pages, screened consultations, email through long decisions, and review and referral asks after every job.
