Email & SMS Marketing

Your past customers are your cheapest new jobs.

You already paid to win every customer on your list. Most companies never contact them again. We build campaigns that bring them back: seasonal reminders, maintenance plans, review requests and referral asks, sent from your name to people who already trust you.

A lead marketplace sells you a stranger. Your customer list hands you a neighbor who already said yes once.

A list you own

Customers and leads from your CRM, cleaned up and segmented by service, area and last visit. Nobody else can rent it out.

Seasonal campaigns

The right offer at the right time of year for your trade, planned out in a season calendar so nothing is sent in a rush.

Automations that never forget

Review requests after a job, maintenance reminders, quote follow-ups and win-backs for customers you haven't seen in a year.

SMS done legally

Texting only to customers who opted in, with clear opt-out handling and carrier registration, because texting without consent is a real legal risk.

Deliverability handled

Proper authentication on your domain, clean lists and sensible sending, so your campaigns land in the inbox instead of the spam folder.

Written for your customers

Short, useful messages in your company's voice. No clip-art newsletters.

The email carries an unsubscribe link and a mailing address. The text says how to opt out and goes only to customers who agreed to texts. Everyone gets the same ask, whatever kind of review they might leave.

Questions

Email & SMS Marketing, answered.

Isn't email marketing spam?

Not when it goes to your own customers, is useful, and is easy to unsubscribe from. Commercial email in the US must follow the CAN-SPAM Act, which requires an honest sender, an unsubscribe option and a physical mailing address. We build all of that in.

Can I text my customers?

Yes, with their consent. Marketing texts need prior express consent under the TCPA, and carriers require registered business texting. We set up consent capture and opt-out handling so you stay on the right side of both.

How often should we send?

Often enough that customers remember you, rarely enough that every message is worth opening. For most service companies that means a few seasonal campaigns plus automations that only fire when something happens, like a finished job.

What if my list is small?

A few hundred past customers is plenty to start. The value is in the relationship, not the size of the list.

What does email and text marketing cost elsewhere?

As listed on the vendors' own pages on November 3, 2026: Mailchimp is free for up to 250 contacts and 500 sends a month, and its paid plans are shown from $13 (Essentials) and $20 (Standard) a month "for 12 months"; you plan and write the campaigns. NiceJob is $75 a month for review requests by text and email, or $125 with win-back, referral and email broadcast campaigns, with no contract. Jobber's Marketing Suite is a $99 a month add-on for Jobber users. WebFX lists done-for-you email marketing for home services from $300 a month. More in what contractor marketing costs. We quote ours in writing.

When we're not the right call

Sometimes the cheaper tool is the right one.

If one of these is you, buy it instead. We'd rather say so now than quote you something you don't need.

Your list is under 250 people and you'll write the emails yourself

Mailchimp's free plan covers 250 contacts and 500 sends a month (read November 2026).

You only want a review request after each job

NiceJob's Starter plan is $75 a month with no contract (read November 2026).
