How Email Marketing Can Increase Your Plumbing Company’s Leads

As a plumber, you’re busy helping homeowners and business owners ensure their plumbing systems are working properly. While you want to grow your company, your days are spent putting your customers’ needs first. You don’t have the time or resources to maintain your online marketing yourself—and that’s alright! But that’s where having a team backing up your marketing efforts can really help you grow your plumbing company.

With a strategic plan in place, your email marketing can be extremely effective in generating new business. Your audience has already opted-in to receive your content. They’ve shown interest in your plumbing company, so give them what they want! Sending a regular email newsletter is a cost-effective way to ensure your company is constantly in the minds of your customers—which is right where you want to be.

Not only can monthly email newsletters with valuable tips and information help build your authority in the plumbing industry, but they can also help drive more traffic to your website and generate leads! The more leads you get, the more sales you’ll make. And this this where email marketing can really make an impact.

Check it out—one client had 545 visits from their email newsletter in only three months (that’s an extra 181 website visits per month!):

32 of those were visits with conversions through web forms, but that’s not all—there were an additional 112 phone leads from email during this three month time period! Yes, you heard that correctly. That is a total of 144 leads from their email newsletters in just three months.

The best part? A visit from your newsletter is most likely a person who is already interested in your plumbing services and is therefore more likely to turn into a sale. A nurtured lead increases sales 20 percent more than a cold lead, which is why a smart email marketing campaign is one of the single most effective ways to build relationships with your customers—both existing and new.
