Here are five ways Mansfield Plumbing recommends so that you can grow your plumbing business based on happy customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #1<\/strong> &#8211; <u>Give out customer comment postcards<\/u> to every client when a job is complete. Leave plenty of space on the postage pre-paid card to allow for write-in compliments (and include a check box asking if you can use their remarks in your marketing efforts) along with adding in an area requesting details on potential referral clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #2<\/strong> &#8211; <u>Share positive customer comments<\/u> regularly on your website and in social media. Nothing brings new customers like getting positive recommendations of your services from old customers!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #3<\/strong> &#8211; <u>Leave business cards and business card magnets<\/u> behind when every job is complete. This way customers know how to quickly reach you in the future &#8230; and they can share your contact information with their friends who may need your services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #4<\/strong> &#8211; <u>Offer a refer-a-friend incentive program<\/u> during slow business times. Ask for specific names and contact details of people who may be interested in your services. For every person a past customer refers, send them a small gift or make a donation in their name to a local charity of their choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #5<\/strong> &#8211; When a new customer mentions they&#8217;ve been referred by a past customer, reach out to the past customer with a <u>follow-up thank you letter and a small token gift<\/u>, like a $5 Starbucks gift card.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you turn a satisfied customer into more business for your company?
