As the weather gets nicer walk in business increases. If somebody showed up now I'd sit with them in the office and if another family showed up while I'm with first family I'd have them come back in an hour or set up an appointment since our office is small and we can only meet with one family at once. I sell a lot of tombstones via the phone, mail and email to out of state people as well. They typically pay with credit card over the phone and when the job is completed I send them a picture. Those are my favorites. We dont currently advertise. In the past we've advertised in the morning call, funeral directors magazine, church and synagogue directories. Most of our marketing budget goes to a quarterly mailer to about 1,000 funeral homes. If we get one new dealer who sells one average priced memorial stone it pays for the mailer. Plus it keeps our name out there. Most monument companies solicit families from the obituaries..we don't.

Need some qwirky phrase that people would associate with your name. Theres a plumber running around locally with “a flush beats a full house” on his vans. Pretty rememberable.

Pretty rememberable. yea i got to do logo/branding work. my thing is windows but i did more quotes this month for commercial cleaning so not sure which way to go with this honestly. . 90% of the big window guys just use blank vans or have rust buckets with super old run down wraps. the whole branding/slogan thing is really only good for residential stuff. property managers/owners dont care how cool your logo is. plus you know, competition seeing your trucks on site/around town and going after that account Edited February 15, 2018 by Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
