Handyman Marketing: Stop Driving, Start Fixing

By Casey Ashby, Founder, FlyerFly

The Small Job Dilemma

Digital leads for handyman services are often for jobs too small to justify the drive time. If you spend 45 minutes driving to fix a leaky faucet, you've lost money. The solution is to build a hyper-local customer base where your travel time between jobs is measured in minutes, not hours.

Bundling the "Honey-Do" List

Use door hangers and yard signs to encourage homeowners to bundle their small repairs. Offer a "Half-Day Handyman" or "Full-Day Fixer" special. When a homeowner sees a flyer offering to knock out their entire accumulated list of repairs for a flat rate, it's an easy yes.

Building Neighborhood Trust

Trust is the biggest hurdle for a handyman. Homeowners want to know you are reliable, licensed, and safe to let into their homes. When you consistently market to the same subdivisions and neighbors see your truck parked at houses they know, you become the neighborhood's trusted, go-to fixer.
