- Plumbing is bought in a hurry. The phone number has to be the easiest thing on the page to read.
- Check whether your state wants your plumbing license number on ads, and put it on the line under your name if so.
- A flyer kept in a drawer is only useful if someone answers the phone when it is finally used.
What to put on a plumbing flyer
A plumbing flyer usually gets kept for later. When later comes, there is water on the floor. Make the number, the services and whether you take emergency calls clear at a glance.
| Put on it | Why |
|---|---|
| Leaks and burst pipes | The emergency call |
| Clogged drains | A call that comes every week |
| Water heaters | A big ticket job and a common failure |
| Toilets, faucets and disposals | Everyday jobs that build a customer list |
| Your license number | Some states want it on ads; check yours |
Check what your state asks for on the plumbing licensing page.
Plumbing flyer headline ideas
The tool starts with one of these. Swap in another, or write your own in the words your customers use.
- Need a plumber nearby?
- Leaks fixed, drains cleared
- Is your water heater on borrowed time?
- Keep this for the day a pipe bursts
- Plumbing help from a neighbor
For the offer line, the tool suggests a drain clearing price, a water heater check 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 plumbing flyers
Plumbing calls come all year, with a spike when pipes freeze. A flyer that stays on the fridge is worth more than one that gets read once.
- The homes around a job, especially a water heater or repipe in an older neighborhood.
- Property managers and landlords, who call often and pay reliably.
- Real estate agents, for inspection repair lists.
- Hardware stores and community boards.
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
Door hangers work for the streets around a job; the neighbors have the same pipes and the same age of water heater. A magnet or a flyer on the fridge is what gets the emergency call, so leave one with every customer.
The same details make both: switch the format at the top of the tool, or open the door hanger maker.
