What strategies are working best for electrical contractors to get more jobs?

Question

Anyone else struggling to keep work flowing consistently lately? We do residential and commercial electrical work along with plumbing services, and it feels like leads have slowed down compared to what they used to be.
I’ve been trying different things like Facebook posts, local networking, follow-ups, and reaching out to contractors, but I’m always looking for better ways to keep the schedule full.
What’s been working best for you guys lately to bring in more jobs?

Facebook ads?
Google ads?
Yard signs?
Realtor/property manager connections?
General contractors?
Referral programs?

Just trying to learn what’s actually working in today’s market. Any advice is appreciated.

It has been slow, I have been trying to connect with more property managers and the General contractors I do work with have them refer me to other General contractors.&nbsp;

While my area of work is residential, and potentially commercial, house cleaning it can definitely be a struggle in that aspect for me as well. What has helped me lately is word of mouth that came after some consistency. However, I feel your bullet points are ideas that should not be slept on. For myself, my next step is creating digital business cards and sharing that with a friend of mine that works in real estate. You seem motivated so I'm confident you will see your efforts having progress sooner than you expect.
