Communications Essentials for Home Maintenance & Repair Businesses

Generate leads and encourage repeat business with these 5 essential communication tools for home maintenance & repair businesses.

Home maintenance specialists or handymen and handywomen are in increasingly high demand, as more families and individuals are fixing up instead of moving out. Whether you specialize in house painting and furniture assembly, ceiling fan installation, fence repair or any other handy household tasks, stay connected to your clients and potential referrals with attractive, well-designed communication materials.

Business Cards

First and foremost, it’s vital to have an updated business card. Whether you are on a service call, running errands around town, or socializing with acquaintances always have a few cards on hand to offer at a moment’s notice. You never know when someone might have need of your services or know of someone who does.

Reminder Magnets

Custom designed reminder magnets are an excellent way to make your home repair and maintenance services a client’s go-to resource! With your contact information affixed to their refrigerator, file cabinet or other magnet-accepting surface, clients will have at-a-glance access to household help whenever needed.

Best of all, custom printed magnets are incredibly easy to make yourself! All you need is a pack of Avery Magnet Sheets, some scissors and a utility knife and straight edge, or a cutting machine. To design, add your branding, contact information, a list of provided services and anything else you might want to include. Then simply print and cut!

Review Cards

As you know, service reviews are an essential part of the home maintenance and repair industry. Whether your business is found online, through printed flyers, or referred via word of mouth, potential clients are going to search for your business’ online reviews.

Unfortunately, positive reviews can be notoriously difficult to acquire. That is why another important printable in your communication toolbox is the Review Card. Review cards are intended to remind your clients to leave a review following the completion of your service.

To make review cards, use Avery Index Cards and visit our Design & Print Online tool to add a thank you message, your branding content and a QR code or URL connecting clients to your preferred online review site.

Promotional Cards

Home shows, direct mail campaigns, and other opportunities mean that eye-catching promotional postcards are an absolute must! These cards are an eye-catching visual that puts your business offerings at the fingertips and at the top of potential clients’ minds. To make a standout statement, opt for professionally printed postcards from Avery! Simply choose your preferred card material, corners, finish, and more, then upload your artwork or choose from our library of designs.

Name Badges
