Marketing Tips or Suggestions

Go2Guys · August 25

Hi, this is Paul, one of the owners of Go2Guys Maintenance in North Colorado. Two second introduction; we started as a do it all property maintenance and repair company in 2014. We were absolutely killing it for years, but in 2018, by coincidence, both my self and my business partner were diagnosed with cancer, (different forms from different causes.) As our health problems developed, we both had to take a step back and put the company on hold. Now, we are both healthy and back on our feet, and try to get the company going again. This time however we are having the worst time finding customers. All of our old customers have moved on and new ones seem sparse. I am not sure if the Colorado market is flooded, or if the economy is now slowing down business, but it is proving to be a huge hurtle to overcome. Are there suggestions for new ways to find business or to market our company? Looking for any input that helps. Thank you

Hi @Go2Guys , welcome to the Community! 👋 And glad to hear you and your business partner are healthy and ready to rebuild the business.

Coming back after several years can almost feel like starting fresh, especially when your previous customer base has moved on. One thing we consistently hear from Top Pros is to start by rebuilding the fundamentals: make sure your profile clearly shows what you specialize in today, add strong photos of past work, build up recent reviews, and respond quickly when new opportunities come in.

Since you’ve been in property maintenance since 2014, you also have years of experience and past projects you can use to establish credibility even while rebuilding your customer base.

There are a lot of experienced home service pros here who’ve navigated slow periods, changing markets, and even rebuilding their businesses. Inviting them to share some of the marketing strategies and customer acquisition channels that have worked for them! 👇
