Are You Certified? And How Can You Use It For Marketing?

Like any certification there are a multitude of ways to use this new law as a marketing tool. Once you receive the certification, make sure that the logo is on every piece of marketing material.

  • Send out a press release announcing that your company is now certified
  • Make sure on every estimate or consultation that you have a “leave behind” on the importance of hiring a certified firm
  • Write an article about lead safety and remodeling/painting and present it to your local newspaper
  • If you have any other ideas or want to share your feelings about the new law, please leave your comments on our Facebook Page, Contractor Websites.
