Re: designing a flyer

We are NCI Members. http://www.nationalcomfortinstitute.com They have a lot of flyers in there marketing section. Some I think are open to everyone. Gas or Oil the flyer should be about the same. Do you use a combustion analyzer? That is something you could list that most others do not do.

Re: designing a flyer

You might also check with local printing companies. Often they can design or know someone who can design print items for you.

Re: designing a flyer

I would make sure you have some sort of call to action in your newsletter. This will allow you to track how well the newsletter is working. We have had a lot of success with our newsletter and sending it to current customers.

I did some research of the top successful campaigns of several of our HVAC customers, based on those, here's what I found is working...

1. Reminder Postcards - This is a classic marketing truth: The most likely prospects to choose your company are the ones that already did: your clients. You can make significant growth for your business simply by reminding clients to get regular maintenance on their heating and cooling systems. Just keep track of when their last maintenance was, and hit them at the appropriate time for their next service.

2. A Knock-Down, Drag-Out Offer- In the world of marketing, there is nothing as compelling as a great offer. You just can’t beat it. Develop a strategic postcard campaign that revolves around a hard-to-pass-up offer, and you will like the results. FREE A/C checkups are an excellent place to start. Discounted or FREE add-on services are also proven winners.
3. Educational Campaigns - An educational campaign is how you turn uninterested prospects into interested clients. The goal here is not to “learn them a thing or two” about their HVAC system, but rather to bring to their attention a benefit of your services that they weren’t aware of.
4. One-Time Services - Clients that receive regular maintenance are where the real money is, but it turns out a great way to get regular customers is to first offer a one-time service. Build a campaign around a useful service that isn’t a regular maintenance job. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how many of those customers become regulars after seeing how great your service is.
5. Take Advantage of the Seasons - Sometimes you just need to play the Mother Nature card—vary your promotions based on the weather. It sounds simple, but many HVAC companies try to use the same postcard all year. This is, quite simply, not wise. The heat and/or the cold are the whole reason a prospect will call you.


If you'd like to see some other real-life campaigns, you can download our free PDF, the link is included in my signature below.
These are really good one. But how much can it cost if we're about to avail your services?
