Advertising for painters in New Zealand

The best place for a painter to advertise is wherever the customer is at the moment they decide they need one: at the paint store with colour charts, working out that the whole house is bigger than a weekend. In practice that means a paint and decorating store, a hardware store and a real estate office. A counter card, a window poster or a screen in one of those, in your own district, is seen by exactly the people who are about to look for a painter, and usually costs less than advertising to a whole suburb.

Questions people ask

Where is the best place for a painter to advertise?

Inside the local businesses your customers visit at the moment they need you. For a painter that is usually a paint and decorating store, a hardware store and a real estate office. A counter display or a window poster there costs less than most other advertising and reaches the right person at the right moment.

How much does it cost a painter to advertise locally?

Advertising space in local New Zealand businesses is listed on Pritty Ghood from about $55 a week, with the price on the listing being the price you pay. Google Ads and radio usually cost a few hundred dollars a month or more, and a community newspaper advertisement is priced per insertion.

How long should a painter run an advertisement?

Run it for eight weeks at least. Tradie work is decided over weeks, not days: the person sees you on the first trip to the merchant and rings on the third. A season-long placement in one busy merchant usually beats a month each in four.

What should a painter put on an advertisement?

Name the one job you want more of, not the whole list. "Heat pump installs, quoted in 24 hours" brings in heat pump installs. "All electrical work" brings in nothing in particular. Put the phone number large, the suburbs you cover, and a QR code that goes to a page with your prices or a booking form.
