Text Campaigns That Actually Get Responses
SMS Marketing for Contractors in Maple Ridge, BC
Emails get buried. Texts get read. Within minutes. I set up text message campaigns that reach your customers where they actually pay attention.
Marketing
If you're a contractor in Maple Ridge or the Fraser Valley, think about how you communicate with your customers right now. Mostly texts, right? That's because text messages get read. Over 90% of texts are opened, most within three minutes. Compare that to email, where maybe 20% of your messages get seen. Whether you're finishing a job in Haney, quoting a project in Albion, wrapping up in Silver Valley, or heading home through Hammond — your customers are reading texts faster than anything else you could send. SMS marketing takes that same texting behaviour your customers already have and turns it into a system that brings in bookings, fills slow weeks, and re-engages past customers. All done for you.
Real Results
What Clients Are Saying
“Since launching the new site, my business has increased dramatically. Having people be able to find me, having the right SEO so that I'm searchable, having the ability to book online — it has made it easier for clients, but it's also made it way easier for me.”
“I knew my old website wasn't working — everything on one page, no real structure, no clear path for clients to follow. The whole process was easier than I expected. I'd share my ideas, and Peter turned them into something polished and professional.”
Tracy is based right here in the Fraser Valley. Jasmine runs her business from the UK. Both use the same systems I now build for home service contractors.
The Problem
When You Need SMS Marketing
You need text campaigns if your emails aren't getting the response you want. If you've tried promoting a seasonal special and got crickets. If you want to re-engage past customers fast, not in a week when they get around to checking their inbox, but within minutes.
Text marketing is also the best tool for appointment reminders. No-shows cost contractors real money. A reminder text the morning of a scheduled job reduces no-shows dramatically. Most contractors in the Fraser Valley aren't doing any kind of text marketing, which means this is one of the easiest ways to stand out and stay in touch.
How It Works
How SMS Marketing Works
I set up text campaigns tailored to your business. That includes seasonal promotions like "It's gutter cleaning season, want us to take care of yours?" sent directly to past customers' phones. Re-engagement messages to leads who inquired but never booked. Appointment reminders so scheduled jobs don't fall through. And follow-up texts after completed work asking for referrals or reviews.
All of this is automated and compliant with messaging rules. Your customers can opt out at any time, and every message follows the guidelines so your business number stays in good standing. I write the messages, schedule the sends, and track the results. You see more replies, more bookings, and more repeat customers.
You don't send any texts manually. You don't manage a list. You don't write the messages. I handle all of it.
- →98% Open Rate — Text messages get read. Unlike emails that sit unopened, your SMS campaigns reach customers within minutes.
- →Seasonal Blasts — I send targeted texts timed to your trade's demand cycles: spring cleanup for landscapers, furnace prep for HVAC, storm damage for roofers.
- →Appointment Reminders — Automated text reminders reduce no-shows and keep your schedule full without you making a single phone call.
Pricing
What This Costs
SMS marketing is included in the $97/month plan. No per-text fees. No add-on charges. It's all part of the same flat monthly price that includes everything else.
No contracts, no setup fee. Cancel anytime. A single booking from a text campaign pays for the entire plan several times over.
