Turn Every Service Call Into Years of Free Advertising

For HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other service professionals, custom stickers are the ultimate passive marketing tool.

The Power of Equipment Stickers

Think about it: when you install or service equipment, you have a unique opportunity. That water heater, AC unit, or electrical panel will stay in place for 10-20 years. A well-placed sticker means:

  • Guaranteed visibility every time the homeowner looks at the equipment
  • Ready access to your phone number when something goes wrong
  • Professional appearance that builds trust
  • Real ROI Numbers

    Let's break down the math:

  • Cost per sticker: $0.50-1.00 at volume
  • Lifespan: 5+ years outdoors, 10+ years indoors
  • Average customer lifetime value: $500-2,000
  • Conversion from sticker: Even if only 1 in 20 stickers generates a callback, that's a massive ROI
  • Best Practices for Service Stickers

    #### 1. Include Essential Information

  • Company name
  • Phone number (large and readable)
  • License/certification number (if applicable)
  • Optional: QR code to your website or booking page
  • #### 2. Choose the Right Size

  • 3" x 3": Standard size for most equipment
  • 4" x 4": Larger equipment, better visibility
  • 2" x 2": Small equipment, tight spaces
  • #### 3. Go Weatherproof

    Equipment is often in basements, attics, and outdoors. Choose vinyl with UV protection and laminate coating for maximum durability.

    Adding QR Codes

    Take your stickers further with QR codes that link to:

  • Your online booking system
  • Google Reviews page
  • Digital business card
  • Seasonal maintenance reminders
  • Customers love the convenience, and you can track exactly how many leads come from your stickers.

    Getting Started

    Most contractors start with 100-500 stickers and reorder as needed. At volume, you're looking at less than $0.50 per sticker—a tiny investment for years of visibility.
