It’s already November, and with the end of the year right around the corner, the changes in the marketing landscape are ramping up.

This episode of Roofer Growth Hacks addresses the latest insights in marketing and sales strategies tailored for roofing businesses with 2025 on the horizon.

This month’s episode offers practical advice on navigating slow seasons and leveraging video marketing and other techniques to build effective marketing and business systems that maximize growth potential.

The Importance of Marketing During Slow Seasons

Sales often slow in colder regions during winter, making it crucial for roofers to invest more effort into their marketing. Key strategies to keep the phone ringing include: 

• Increasing Budget for Google Ads: Focus on top-of-the-funnel leads to maintain a steady inflow of prospects.

• Embracing Video Marketing: Video content builds trust and creates a direct connection with potential clients. Educational videos answering common questions like “How much does a new roof cost?” can significantly boost engagement.

• Leveraging Seasonal Promotions: The holiday season presents an excellent opportunity to attract customers with special discounts and promotions.

By putting the extra time during this slower season to practical use, roofers can keep their companies in the spotlight this winter, then hit the ground running once the weather breaks and service requests pick up again!

A fine-tuned marketing strategy and creation of more high-quality, desirable content like videos or podcasts can make any roofing company more competitive in their service areas when job numbers dwindle for the season.

Enhancing Sales Systems for Higher Conversions

In addition to ramping up marketing efforts during slow seasons, roofing businesses must also evaluate and refine their sales systems, as inefficiencies can lead to missed opportunities.

Perfecting their sales strategies and effectively incorporating them into an overall marketing plan is another way to keep the customers calling while improving business prospects once things pick up again. 

• Answer Every Call: Missing phone calls risks losing potential clients to competitors. Consider having an in-house team or outsourced solution to ensure calls are always answered.

• Follow-Up System: Research indicates a need for up to 15 follow-ups to convert leads. Implement a structured schedule, such as:

  • Immediate follow-up within 5 minutes.
  • Multiple contacts on the same day (morning, noon, and evening).
  • Regular outreach through calls, texts, and emails over weeks or months.
