This is all great news for home improvement companies. But, how does your company become the go-to people call when they are looking for a renovation?
The key for remodeling companies is to find quality prospects for home improvement projects. This is the first step of smart marketing. As a result, home improvement companies need to get their names front and center. Visibility counts. Brand equity is essential. Above all, your brand needs to convey value, trust and competency.
Can People Find You or Do You Need to Find Them?
First of all, you don’t want to just sit and wait for the phone to ring. You need to take the initiative to target quality customers for home improvements. Above all, if you want to be successful, it’s your job to aggressively seek them out. Hence, this means using direct mail, telemarketing, email and social media to brand your business and enhance your reputation. This is the first step to generating quality leads.
We know that not everyone is in the market for a remodel. However, there are specific groups more likely to respond to your offer.
Examples:
For a closet company
Select a list of New Homeowners who purchased resale homes. Overlay a minimum home value of at least $250,000+up
Accessibility Remodeling
Select affluent homeowners turning 70. You may also want to target homeowners with multiple generations living under the same roof.
Kitchen & Bath remodelers
Market to homes that are 15-20 years old, where the original homeowner is still present. Likewise, overlay modeled credit 640+ to further qualify them. After all, you want to make sure they can afford your services!
Companies that specialize in eco-friendly remodeling.
Focus on Green Homeowners. They are the perfect prospects for solar installations or upgrading home insulation. Similarly, they are also excellent prospects for installing smart home automation features. Additionally, Green Homeowners are also choosing earth-friendly remodeling materials.
Marketing Tip
Consider marketing to New Homeowners or homeowners who recently refinanced. New Homeowners can amortize the expenses over the course of their mortgage. Many homeowners use the equity in their homes to pay for upgrades and remodels. And – renovations are not just for size or appearance sake – but for convenience and health.
