Rochester
It is the second week of February in Rochester and the calendar has holes in it. Somewhere in your software sits a list of everyone you have ever served, and the last time any of them heard from you was the day you finished their work.
With email and text marketing in place, that list becomes the first place you go. We clean it, sort it by what each person bought and when, and send messages people are glad to get: a reminder when something is due, a seasonal heads up, a thank you that asks for a review.
Slow weeks still happen, but now you can do something about them in an afternoon. A well timed send to the right group fills the gaps, repeat customers book without being chased, and referrals start arriving from people who remembered your name.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.
95% of Rochester general contractors list no email, and the calls they miss go to the next listing. Answering every call and text is the cheapest growth there is.

Texts get read fast and work for short, timely messages like reminders and openings this week. Email has room for a story, photos and details and costs less per send. Most businesses do best with email for the steady newsletter and text for the moments that need attention now.
You need clear consent before sending marketing texts, a simple way to opt out, and a registered business number, which carriers now require through 10DLC registration. Quiet hours and honest messages matter too. Following the rules is not just about avoiding trouble, it keeps your messages getting delivered.
The scope follows the size of your list, how many campaigns and reminders you want, how much cleanup your data needs and which platform you use. Text messages also carry per message carrier fees that grow with volume. We review your list and goals, then quote a fixed monthly fee for the work.
A reactivation campaign reaches people who have not booked in a while with a reason to come back: a check up, a seasonal service, a simple hello. Sorting by how long it has been and what they bought makes the message feel personal. This is often the fastest way to fill a slow month.
Tools like Mailchimp, Klaviyo and the marketing features inside field service and practice software all work. The right choice depends on where your customer data already lives and whether it syncs cleanly. We usually start with what you already pay for before suggesting anything new.
No effort and no risk of annoying anyone, but past customers drift to whoever reaches out first.
