Here are 9 marketing tips and ideas to help you capture the attention of clients and prospects:

1. Business Cards

Even in today’s digital age, business cards remain a staple in the trades industry. They create a professional first impression and are essential for introductions. Make sure you have high-quality cards that reflect the premium class of your trade. We promise fast delivery and top-notch printing to support your brand.

2. Apparel

Your uniform is more than just clothing, it’s a walking billboard. Make a statement with custom shirts, vests, hoodies, caps, and even shoes! Stand out from the crowd while promoting your business with attention-grabbing apparel that doesn’t have to look like a traditional uniform.

3. Vehicle Signage

Turn your company vehicle into a mobile advertisement. Add your logo, website, and social media details to spread awareness everywhere you go. The more exposure, the better! Don’t let this moving opportunity go to waste.

4. Flyers and Postcards

Flyers and postcards are great for local marketing without breaking the bank. You don’t need to run a massive campaign start small by distributing them to homes around your current job sites. Digital printing allows you to test with just 50 prints and see what works.

5. Brochures

For a more polished approach, use brochures. They provide a touch of class and professionalism when presenting your services. High-quality design and content can make a big impact on potential clients.

6. Door Hangers

Door hangers may be underrated, but they are highly effective for offline marketing. Add a compelling offer and leave them at homes in your service area. Consider reusable designs to make sure your message sticks around long after it’s delivered.

7. Presentation Folders

Presentation folders are great for important meetings and proposals. Impress new clients or recruits with well-designed folders that reflect your brand's professionalism and attention to detail.

8. Bottle Neckers

If you’re giving out gifts or beverages, include bottle neckers for an added marketing touch. These small, cute additions carry your branding and a short message, creating a memorable impression on the recipient.

9. NCR Quote Books

No tradie should be without an official NCR quote book. These books keep your transactions professional and organised. Choose from different binding options and color schemes to suit your style, and make sure you’re always prepared with an invoice at hand.

While online marketing is essential, don’t overlook the power of offline tools. These marketing tips won’t break the bank but will help you generate leads and grow your business the "old school" way. Get started today and make sure your trade stands out!
