Painting a home is an important job. A proper paint job will protect a home from exposure to the sun, humidity, and salt spray for those who live close to the beach. At UCI Paints, we know that painters take their job seriously so we want to help you find paint contractor referrals in Palm Beach, FL. As a paint store that sells paint specifically formulated for South Florida, we want to help local painters find jobs. Keep reading our short guide that gives tips for how you can find referrals.
Network
It’s said that your network is your net worth. While it’s true that many successful people might not have a large or strong network, local businesses often thrive off their ability to get referrals from other local businesses. This means that you’ll need to build relationships with business owners and get a reputation as a quality painter. Keep in mind that part of building a network is being willing to reciprocate referrals to other businesses for the products and services that they provide as well.
Build a website
Despite pushback from some industries, we live in a digital world. It doesn’t matter if you run a national painting business that takes on hundreds of jobs each year or you have a small business that operates locally, a website can help you get more referrals. Without a website, you could be losing prospective customers as many searching for your services consider a website to be a determining factor in reliability, authenticity, and viability. For instance, you might have claimed your Google My Business listing so your company shows up in local results, but customers are not as likely to contact you if they can’t see more about who you are on your website.
Use online directories
Whether you still prefer not to get a website or you have decided to have one built, it’s useful to put your business in online directories. There are plenty of places where contractors can get their information online so clients can find them. With help from home improvement websites like Angie’s List, Thumbtack, and others you can get connected with homeowners who need your services.
Work with paint stores
As a painter, it’s best if you can get in with potential clients at the source. You can network directly with paint stores to be on a list of recommended paint contractors that they give to customers who buy new paint. Speak with managers and store owners to build trust with them and you can become a preferred contractor.
At UCI Paints, we use paint that’s specifically formulated for the area where we live, so it must be used properly so customers can receive that maximum benefit. Our paint contractor referrals come with a strong recommendation as we’ve vetted those who have been trained in proper techniques and usage of our paints.
Send mailers
A cheap and affordable way to get your brand in the hands of your customers is by sending mailers. You can work with local companies to print and send advertising postcards to certain neighborhoods or demographics. This is a great way to create brand awareness and put your company in the minds of those who are about to start a new project or have been considering it for a while. Seeing that they can easily get ahold of a paint contractor might be the push they need to repaint their living room.
