There comes a time where home-related services become critical to neighbors on Nextdoor. Whether they need help from a landscaping business, repairing a leak, replacing old windows, or getting their lawn and irrigation system ready for winter, there is a good chance they’ll be calling on the help of professionals to help them improve or maintain their most valuable asset: their home. That makes Nextdoor a great place for local home service providers like you to promote your business and reach local customers.
See how home service providers are getting their name out in their neighborhoods with Nextdoor Local Deals to help inspire your own.
Mike The Plumber, Inc. of Lake Worth, Florida offered $15 off a service call when Nextdoor is mentioned.
Why this works: Plumbing issues can be tricky to troubleshoot and repair for someone without experience. Typically, by the time someone has realized they have a plumbing issue, they’re in great need of professional help. A deal that offers $15 off may be the reason why someone calls you instead of your competitors. Plus, neighbors love discounts that are exclusive to them.
Newscape Lawn Care & Landscaping of Bradenton, Florida offered 20% off the cost of landscaping materials for first time customers.
Why this works: Without a green thumb and eye for design, neighbors may be hesitant to take on a landscaping project by themselves. However, a 20% discount on the cost of materials for new customers is so significant that it may be just what it takes to attract new business.
Plum Alley Windowcraft of Houston, Texas offered 10% off window restoration.
Why this works: This deal not only promotes a discount but also advertises a service that neighbors may not have known about or considered for their own homes: restoration windows versus replacement windows. If your products or services fall within a niche market, a Local Deal can help raise awareness for your brand. In addition, this deal works because the picture is a good visualization of the end product. As a business, if you can showcase your work in the deal photo, customers can better understand your business.
Alpine View Landscaping LLC of Bend, Oregon offered $20 irrigation winterization for new customers.
Why this works: Winterizing an irrigation system happens but once each year, and this deal not only promotes this business’s unique service, but also locks in customers for the following year by offering a discount.
Greenmate, of Glendale, Arizona, offered 20% off of lawn services to anyone who references his Local Deal.
Why this works: This deal, from a neighbor for hire who is passionate about gardening and landscaping, is exclusive to neighbors who mention Nextdoor. The neighbor lists out the standard starting prices for his services – and advertises that this is a limited time month-long special. This deal also works because it's seasonal, which is an idea for businesses that offer the same services year-round. Use seasons to make your deal special and eye-catching to neighbors.
