Grow your business with carpentry leads from Houzz Pro

Some of the most widely used methods for getting carpentry job leads are:

• Lead providers - When companies have access to homeowners who are looking for carpenters, they can sell those leads to carpenters for a price. Choosing a lead provider like Houzz Pro means you’ll save tons of time qualifying new leads because we screen them for you.
• Client referrals - Encourage past clients to spread the word about the good work you do! Referrals are one of the most cost effective ways to find new carpentry leads as they can continue to produce leads for years to come.
• Ask friends or family - If you’re newer to the renovation business and are looking for ways to build a portfolio, getting work from friends and family is a great place to start.
• Door-to-door marketing - Do you serve an older neighbourhood with newer homeowners? Consider knocking on doors and you may just find a potential carpentry lead who has been searching for a contractor like you.
• Network or find a lead group - Network with other carpenters in your area to learn what’s working for them or maybe even ask them to use you as a referral when they’re overloaded with projects. Lead groups can be equally as helpful as professionals in different verticals come together to share leads with one another.

The possibilities are endless. It all comes down to how much time and resources you want to spend! 

• Targeted Local Advertising: Advertising on Houzz, the #1 platform carpentry job leads use to find professionals, can be extremely effective for finding homeowners in your area for very minimal effort. Lucky for you, targeted local advertising comes included with an Ultimate Houzz Pro plan. 
• Email Marketing: Your list of contacts is a great way to promote your carpentry business. Not only will email newsletters help re-engage past leads, but it can help you stay top-of-mind when their friends or family mention they’re looking for a carpenter like you! With Houzz Pro’s email marketing features, you’ll be able to send beautiful email newsletters with no technical expertise.
• Print Advertising: Business cards & leaflets – these more traditional forms of advertising will likely cost you for materials or placements but may still be effective for finding carpentry job leads today.
• Social Media: Promoting your business across social media channels can be quite lucrative depending on the size of your following! Promote your business organically or most social media providers offer pay-to-play advertising models.
• Search Engines: Having an SEO-optimised website can help searchers find you when they search for services you can offer. With Houzz Pro, we’ll actually build and maintain a business website for you. Search engines like Google also offer paid advertising, but can be quite costly.

If your goal is to grow your client base, carpentry lead generation programmes are worth it – you just need to find the right one! We suggest running the numbers to determine how much you’re willing to pay per lead to remain profitable. And remember, one lead can turn into two, three, six or ten if you make a great impression. Be sure to consider the lifetime value of a lead and their referrals when evaluating different lead providers. We recommend starting with Houzz Pro. With access to over 65 million homeowners, we have the connections to bring you quality carpentry job leads (and even pre-screen them for you).
