How to Stand Out as a Contractor 

There’s a lot of contractors out there, so how do you stand out among them? Well, thankfully, there is a lack of skilled workers right now, so if you are skilled and hardworking, you will likely find work easily. However, you still want to market yourself in a way so that you continue to easily get and/or find business.  

We wanted to share with you the different ways you can help yourself stand out as a contractor.  

• Make yourself memorable. Think of a name or logo that isn’t like other people’s or companies. Think of a name or logo that isn’t tricky or hard to remember.  
• Think of the ways that make you and your business totally unique and use those as your selling and marketing points to your potential clients. People want to hear something different, not more of the same.  

• Market yourself in as many ways and places as you can. Put yourself on Google Business, Yelp, Angie’s List. Create a website. Create social media profiles.  You want people to find you easily. If you need help creating these things, you can hire someone to help! 
• Share reviews from past clients online.  
• Offer deals and incentives to clients for referrals.  
• Know your target audience and know exactly how you need to help them, what their spending habits are, and what they’d want or need. If you mention things people need or want before they do, they will be thankful and appreciative of your care and knowledge.  
• Share your successes and goals with clients.  

There are many ways to stand out from the competition, but it will take time and effort, but it will be worth it in order for you to build your brand and visibility. You’re in a great spot already when you are trying to set yourself apart from the rest.
