Michel
on Marketing: How to hold an Oldest Water Heater contest
BY MATT MICHEL
In the early 1990s, I created an Oldest Furnace contest
as a home show promotion, generating more than 400 leads the first time
it was run. The contest has since been applied to water heaters and
other appliances, and has even been run as a standalone contest, not
part of a home show. You can run an Oldest Water Heater contest for your
business too.
The core concept is to give away a water heater to the homeowner with
the oldest water heater in town, provided the homeowner pays for the
installation. Many contractors include the installation, but this is a
mistake. The winner should pay something, since this helps qualify real
prospects as opposed to suspects (i.e., people you "suspect" might want
your goods or services).
