Painting Contractor Marketing: 7 Ideas That Actually Work
Low-cost marketing tactics specifically for painting contractors looking to fill their schedule.
Before/after photos are gold
Post one transformation per week to Instagram and your GBP. This builds an organic portfolio over a year that converts cold leads instantly.
Door hanger the neighbors
After every job, leave 20 door hangers within 4 houses. Conversion rate is 3–5% — far better than Facebook ads.
