Keeping and sharing examples of your past work can be a great way to show customers the different projects you cover and how different products affect the job’s final results. This can help your customer home in on the options they want for their job. By adding financing examples to your project portfolio, you can give your customer an idea of how affordable their project could be when broken into monthly payments.
3 Ways to Work Financing Options into Your Past Projects
Option 1: Offer an Estimate.
The exact cost of a project, as well as the financing terms a customer may be eligible for, change on a case-by-case basis. Add a callout letting customers know that you can break their project cost into affordable monthly payments. Using our free payment estimator, you can show customers what their monthly payment could look like.
Example 2: Customer Experience
If you ask, many happy customers are willing to write up a testimonial or statement about their experience for your business. However, they aren’t always sure what they should say. After asking for the testimonial, consider suggesting a few aspects of the job you would like them to highlight. Topics such as their experience working with you, their overall satisfaction with the options or products they chose and whether they are happy with their own financing experience can help you get statements discussing how an affordable monthly payment option helped them get the results they really wanted.
Example 3: Keep It Vague
You don’t have to be super specific to let customers know they don’t have to pay thousands of dollars up front for their home improvement project. Simple statements such as “make your next project more affordable with a monthly payment option!” or “break your cost into monthly payments!” can let customers know that you offer financing options.
Remember to Add a CTA!
Whether you share your past projects on your website or share examples with your customers in person, remember to include a call to action. Asking your website visitors to call you for a project estimate or including a form where they can submit a request for information is a great way to turn website traffic into new customers. If your customer is in person, ask them if they would like to get prequalified for monthly payments. It’s quick, easy and won’t impact their credit score.*
