How to Build a Successful Digital Coupon Campaign for Your Power Washing Company

Digital coupons are a contractor’s best friend. Everyone loves a good deal—and coupons can be your marketing MVP when you’re looking to drive sales, generate new pressure washing leads, and encourage repeat business.

In their basic form, digital coupons are discounts and promotions given to new and existing customers. They can help your power washing business boost sales, target specific audience segments, and drive highly qualified leads to your website. By offering a unique product and service at a great discount, you’ll be able to impress customers with exceptional service and wow them into coming back.

Creating and distributing a few digital coupons might sound simple, but a successful digital coupon marketing strategy is the tool you need to increase your revenue and gain a key advantage over the competition. Here’s how to grow your pressure washing company with the power of digital coupons.

Why Power Washers Need Digital Coupons

Digital coupons have been around nearly as long as the Internet itself—and for good reason. According to a survey from Hawk Incentives, 92 percent of shoppers say they “always” look for deals when shopping online. What’s more, coupons and discounts are cited as one of the top reasons why people buy specific products after free shipping.

When done right, digital coupons can be a powerful conversion magnet, with relevant offers shown to prospects at the right moment in their buyer’s journey: at the beginning when they’re deciding where to shop, and at the end when it’s time to apply coupons. Whether you’re looking to drive power washing sales, sell more of your preferred services, or encourage repeat purchases, digital coupons can be your secret weapon to step out in front of the competition and get noticed when it matters most.

Still not convinced? Digital coupons aren’t just an effective way to drive new business. Our clients tell us that they’re also indispensable for market research. Your coupon’s digital tracking code helps gather information, from purchasing habits to consumer demographics, so you can make the most of your marketing budget.

How to Create Standout Digital Coupons

When it comes to digital coupons, visual content is non-negotiable. You need to break through the digital noise, stand out from the crowd, and showcase the value of your promotion—and you’re going to need to tap into your graphic design expertise to get the job done right.

If you’re new to graphic design, Adobe and Canva offer free digital coupon templates. Alternatively, there are countless free coupon creation programs online with customizable templates.

Once you’ve chosen a graphic design program, it’s time to start working on your visuals.

Here’s how to step out in front of the competition with digital coupons:

• Keep it consistent. Your brand design and messaging should be recognizable and dependable. When your marketing efforts present a consistent message with a matching color palette, visual style, and font choice across all channels, prospects will start recognizing—and trusting—your brand.

• Add an expiration date. The online world is fast-paced, so when most customers see your discount, they’re probably going to forget about it. Instead of hoping they’ll convert on their own, tap into the scarcity principle by adding an expiration date to your coupon. Think about it: When you tell a customer that an offer is only valid for a specific period, you’re creating a sense of urgency. Not only that, but you’re also tapping into their emotions by creating a perceived need to purchase.

• Don’t forget about the CTA. When designing your digital coupons, there are some basic design elements that can make or break your campaign. Above all else, you’ll need a compelling call-to-action (CTA) to convince customers to take action and hire your company. For the best results, keep your CTA short, sweet, and simple.

If you don’t have the time or graphic design expertise to create impactful digital coupons, an experienced marketing partner can take the marketing tasks off your plate. This way, instead of sacrificing valuable hours behind a desk to build an effective campaign, you can focus on what really matters—running your pressure washing business. 

Where Should You Share Digital Coupons?

Whether you’re offering a voucher on gutter cleanings or a discount on roof pressure washing, a multichannel approach is key to a successful digital coupon campaign.

When you share digital coupons across multiple channels, you’ll reach more customers and boost the success of your campaign.

The best channels to share digital coupons include:

• Social media: Digital coupons aren’t just for attracting new customers, but they also encourage customer retention when you share them on social media. Eye-catching visuals, a compelling CTA, a sense of urgency, and relevant hashtags can all help you capture prospects’ attention and stand out in busy social feeds.
• Email newsletters: Most people sign up for marketing emails to benefit from deals and discounts, so why not give them what they’re looking for? Think about how many emails your leads get each day, and craft a compelling subject line to stand out from the crowd. You can use email discounts to target specific segments based on their demographic information—or you can send a re-engagement discount to target inactive customers.
• SMS messaging: SMS/text messaging is a great way to incentivize dormant leads to book a power washing appointment. Plus, they have the highest open rates of all messaging channels. Everyone loves a great deal, and you want customers to feel excited when they see a notification from your business. With the right promotion, your text messages can cut through the noise, recapture lost leads, and give them the extra push they need to pick up the phone.
• Your website: One of the easiest ways to distribute coupons? Display them on your website for everyone to see. It might seem obvious, but an eye-catching banner or notification can effectively guide prospects down the funnel and benefit your bottom line.
