For concrete contractors, repeat business is the foundation of long-term success. Whether you're pouring driveways, patios, or commercial slabs, staying connected with past clients can lead to more projects, referrals, and stronger relationships.
In this post, we’ll discuss the best email campaigns for concrete contractors to secure repeat clients—and how Contractor Back Office supports contractors with SEO, websites, and email marketing strategies.
Why Email Marketing Works for Repeat Business
Email marketing allows you to stay top-of-mind with past clients, share helpful updates, and offer incentives for future work. According to Forbes, retaining existing customers is significantly more cost-effective than acquiring new ones, and email is one of the most powerful tools for retention.
Practical Email Campaign Ideas for Concrete Contractors
1. Welcome Series for New Clients
Start strong with a 3–5 email sequence that introduces your company, showcases your work, and sets expectations.
Example Sequence:
Email 1: “Welcome to [Your Company Name] – Here’s What We Do”
Email 2: “See Our Latest Concrete Projects”
Email 3: “Let’s Talk About Your Next Project”
📌 Use automation tools like Mailchimp to set this up.
2. Project Completion Follow-Up
Send a thank-you email after finishing a job. Include a recap of the work, a request for feedback, and a discount for future services.
Example: "Thanks for choosing us! Here’s 10% off your next concrete project.”
3. Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Educate clients on how to care for their concrete surfaces during seasonal changes.
Example:“3 Tips to Protect Your Concrete Patio This Winter”
📚 Helps position you as a helpful expert and encourages off-season service calls.
4. Review Request Campaigns
Ask satisfied clients to leave reviews on platforms like Google, Houzz, or Facebook.
Example:“ We’d love your feedback! Click here to leave a review.”
📈 According to Constant Contact, review requests via email have high conversion rates.
5. Referral Incentive Emails
Encourage past clients to refer friends or neighbors by offering a reward.
Example: “Refer a friend and get $50 off your next project!”
🎯 Include a simple referral form or link to your website.
6. Reactivation Campaigns
Reach out to clients who haven’t booked in a while. Offer a free inspection or loyalty discount.
Example:“ We miss working with you! Let’s reconnect with a free site visit.”
🔁 Segment your list to target inactive contacts with personalized messages.
7. Educational Newsletters
Send monthly or quarterly newsletters with concrete tips, trends, and project highlights.
Example Topics:
“Stamped vs. Exposed Aggregate: What’s Right for You?”
“How to Extend the Life of Your Concrete Driveway”
