- Painting customers worry about mess and care. Say how you protect floors, furniture and plants.
- A before and after photo of your own job beats any headline.
- Exterior work is seasonal; interior work can fill the cold months. Flyer each at its time.
What to put on a painting flyer
A painting flyer sells two things: the finished look and the way you work in someone's home. Show the first with a photo and the second in a short line.
| Put on it | Why |
|---|---|
| Interior walls, ceilings and trim | The everyday job most people call about |
| Exterior siding and trim | The big ticket job, mostly in warm months |
| Cabinets, decks and fences | Jobs that set you apart from a general handyman |
| Prep and protection, said plainly | Mess is a common worry with painters |
| Help choosing colors | Many people put off painting because they cannot pick |
Put your own work in the photo spot. The before and after photo maker makes a side by side you can upload as the flyer photo.
Painting flyer headline ideas
The tool starts with one of these. Swap in another, or write your own in the words your customers use.
- Ready for a fresh coat of paint?
- New color, same house
- Cabinets that look new again
- Book your exterior before the season fills
- Interior painting while it is cold out
For the offer line, the tool suggests a one room price, an off season booking deal or a neighbor discount. It never fills in a number for you: only print an offer you will honor, with its limits.
When and where to hand out painting flyers
Exterior painting runs with the weather, so flyers for it go out before the warm months. Interior painting can be sold all year and fills the gaps.
- The homes near a house you just painted. A fresh exterior is the best ad on the street.
- Homes with peeling trim or faded siding, which need the work now.
- Real estate agents and property managers, for paint before a sale or between tenants.
- Paint stores, which often keep a board or a list of local painters.
Do not put flyers or door hangers in mailboxes. Federal law (18 U.S.C. 1725) fines anyone who puts mailable matter with no postage paid in a mailbox. Hang them on the door, hand them over, or send them as postcards through the mail.
Flyer or door hanger
For exterior jobs, door hangers on the neighbors' doors while the scaffolding is still up are hard to beat. For interior work, a full flyer at paint stores and real estate offices reaches people already thinking about color.
The same details make both: switch the format at the top of the tool, or open the door hanger maker.
