8. Plumbing referral business cards

Business cards are a great way to earn referrals from happy customers. As part of your referral program, design cards that send customers to a referral form on your plumbing website.

Hand out these business cards to current customers after a job well done, and encourage them to refer friends and family to your company. Your referral cards could look like this:

Referral cards don’t need to include your contact information. Just include a link to a referral form on your website so customers can share the contact details of a person they’d like to refer. You can then add referrals to your plumber CRM.

9. Plumbing business card sticker

A business card sticker is just a business card with a sticky back. It can be placed on folders, notebooks, plumbing invoices, and any other flat surfaces you give to your customers.

Put your contact details where customers can see them by using a plumbing service business card sticker like this:

10. Plumbing digital business cards

A digital plumber service business card is more personalized and has more information than a standard business card. You’ll often see a photo, contact details, and a location on digital cards.

Your plumbing digital business card could look like this:

You can share these cards digitally via text, email, link, QR code, and other types of file transfers. This makes digital cards a more eco-friendly option than standard printed cards.

What to include on your plumber business cards

The purpose of a plumber business card is simple—to remind potential customers of your services and help them get in touch. The information on your business card should help them do that.

Here’s what you need to include on your plumbing and heating business cards:

  • Plumbing company name
  • Logo and branding
  • Company tagline (if you have one)
  • Full name (first and last)
  • Job title (or plumbing certification level)
  • Contact information (email, phone number, and social media profiles)
  • Plumbing website URL

The front of your business card should be dedicated to your branding and include your company name, logo, slogan, colors, and fonts.

The back of the card is where you get down to business. It should include your name, job title, contact information, and plumbing website URL.

Where to buy plumbing and heating business cards

Affordable business cards are just one Google search away. Here are a few of the best options online to design and print your plumbing business cards:

How to distribute plumbing business cards

While there’s no hard rule on who you give plumber service business cards to, when, or where, we do have a few recommendations to help you get better results from your distribution. 

  • Carry a few business cards with you at all times. You never know when or where you’ll run into a potential plumbing customer. Get a small carrying case so your business cards don’t get crumpled in your pocket or wallet.
  • Be selective with your cards. Don’t just hand your business card to anyone. Only give it to people who you’ve discussed services with, or who will need a plumber in the future.
  • Give your business cards to current customers. Attach your business cards to estimates or invoices. That way, your existing customers have your contact information handy for future services later on—and can pass along your card if a friend or family member needs a plumber.
  • Post your business card on public bulletin boards. Check with local businesses, libraries, gyms, or grocery stores to see if you can post your plumber service business card on their bulletin boards for free.
  • Exchange business cards with home service professionals in other industries at networking events or on the job to share leads, opportunities, and other business advice.

I didn’t have any equipment [when I started]. I saved up and I started out with just my van and a snake machine. I went to all the apartment managers, knocked on doors, and left business cards.
