free gift for quotes

[G. Lasagne]

Hi everyone, just after a bit of advice, im trying to think of a free gift to give away for anyone who gets a quote (for a new boiler), i know co alarms is teh obvious and even though i can get them for £11 its a bit too much for a free gift, any ideas?

I would not bother, just make sure your price (in a like for like) with your competitors cannot be beaten.

To me, (and I could be wrong) offering freebies, comes across as a bit desperate, and touting for trade.

Good Luck

Gifts for quotes just encourages time wasters.

An unexpected gift after the job is done will get them telling everyone about you, which should boost your quote levels.

Take a look on ebay (wholesale), you might get some ideas there.

How about a FREE property valuation? You can arrange these cheaply online and get a kick back from an estate agent when they decide to sell.

Are you not better to offer free servicing for a couple of years if they choose to sign up?.

There's a sweetener that won't cost you anything when you quote but might help bring in some business.

You could also check their other appliances for free.!.... but after the boiler is installed obviously.

I would consider a free cooker check with a quote for a new boiler, as I have a gas range cooker. Some might not though.

How about another simple check you can do at the time of quote?

I wouldn't offer a free gift upfront unless it is digital (web) or no money out of my pocket.

As suggested before, offering a free gift after the work has been completed can be a nice surprise.

I would focus on the service I would deliver and how my service can be better than any other competitor. It doesn't come down to lowering your prices. You just need to be competitive and do a simple survey of your existing customers and see what they enjoyed about your service or what they would have liked. Then use their responses to better your business in every aspect.
