Hi everyone, I’ve been working as a handyman for a bit and I’m looking for ways to expand my client base. I work on home repairs and small installations, and I’m wondering what methods or approaches have worked for you to get more jobs nowadays. Any advice on networking or simple marketing tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
I’ve found that word of mouth still works best when you do quality work and ask for referrals. I also keep a simple web presence so local clients can find me. Networking with local business owners and joining community boards can also raise your profile. When it comes to payment, using an invoicing app helps me keep things professional and on track which reassures clients and brings in more repeat business.
i’ve found that it works best to invest time in local profile - ensuring each client knows your work means they tell neighborhood friends, and then asking for a review on sites like google. i send my invoices quickly with tofu so i don’t chase payments, which keeps things simple.
I build connections by joining neighborhood groups and offering brief free consultations. It really helps when others trust my work.
I’ve noticed that connecting with local suppliers and getting involved in community events has helped a bit. I also try to keep my online portfolio updated so potential clients can see my work when they search for local services.
