What's wrong with mailing a company newsletter or post card to the homeowner once in awhile to keep your name in front of them? Maybe quarterly, semi-annual or at least once a year. These can be mailed out during slow times to generate more work.

Just a note. All the marketing stuff I've been dealing with say to be in front of your customers once a month in some fashion.

1 of the things we have been doing is asking name number address and email address as soon as we answer the phone. Email newsletter is the plan. Patrick Kennedy does that. I'm going to treat them as a customer whether we did the job for them or not. They will become familiar with me anyway.

I've been told if your not in front of your customer for 3 months your forgotten. The posts on this thread don't remember who did work for them a week ago.

He seemed to just want to get in and out as quickly as possible so he could move on to the next one.

Seems I was just reading in another thread if he did more than that he would have been trying to rip you off or milk the job.
