Implement Yard Signs for Brand Visibility

that's a little more difficult uh creepy but uh to to send postcards to those houses that are directly surrounding it and timing those out so that you can say hey guess what we're going to be working in the neighborhood time it out so that you know that's going to arrive same time that you're working there um and say, you know, can we get you a bid? If you want, you can offer a discount. I'm not a big fan of offering discounts, but if you want to say, hey, while we're in the neighborhood, if you want us to give us an estimate, we'll give you 10% off while while we're here in the neighborhood since we're close by.

But it kind of hits people with that double whammy of, hey, if they see that you're there working and then all of a sudden they see you again in their mailbox, all you're doing is you're creating those stronger barrier or those stronger ties in their brain, uh that that you're a painter and that you're there.

And that was every job we did. I did that for quite a few years. And then we also just um hit neighborhoods and we would like target neighborhoods that were like upper middle class and the people that you're more than likely going to spend money and good money on a paint job. we would just go out and just hit that whole neighborhood. And one thing I did that was kind of effective was I created um you know this um brochure I would hand out to my kids friends and it offered them a really small amount per door hanger. It must have been like a penny a door hanger or something like that. It was really cheap, but they'd hang the door hanger on and then if I got a call, we would ask the customer where it came from.
