For a tradesperson — plumber, heating engineer, electrician, HVAC technician, pool technician, or maintenance company — finding new clients is expensive. Bringing back old clients at the right time is the real key to growth. The problem: once the invoice is issued and the business card is slipped into an envelope, you disappear from your client's daily life.
The custom maintenance magnet is designed to solve that. It is a discreet, useful, and durable support that is placed directly at the client's location — on a boiler, an electrical panel, a technical room, or equipment. When the client has a need, they can immediately find you and call you, request an intervention, or leave a Google review in seconds.
What is a custom maintenance magnet?
It is a professional-quality round magnet, tailored to your image, designed to be placed on the equipment you install or maintain at your clients' locations. The support features your logo, your colors, your phone number, and a clear visual that reminds them of your trade.
In daily use, it acts as a business card that never gets lost: it stays at the exact spot where the client will need you, for the entire lifespan of the equipment. For the client, they simply need to bring their smartphone close to the magnet to immediately access your professional profile, without installing any app.
- Custom round magnet with your logo and colors
- To be placed after each intervention at the client's location
- Always visible on the boiler, electrical panel, or equipment
- Direct access to your contact details with a simple gesture
- No app to download for the client
How does the maintenance magnet work?
The operation is intentionally simple: it is a product designed for tradespeople who do not have time to manage a complicated tool, and for their clients who should be able to contact you without thinking.
| Step | For the tradesperson | For the client |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Customization | You provide your logo, colors, and contact details. The magnet is prepared. | Nothing to do. |
| 2. Service visit | You perform your usual work (maintenance, repair, installation). | It welcomes your intervention. |
| 3. Placing the magnet | You place the magnet on the equipment before leaving, in 5 seconds. | They see the support appear in a visible spot. |
| 4. Future need | Nothing to do: your contact is already on site. | They bring their smartphone close to the magnet, your profile appears. |
| 5. Action | You receive a call, a request for intervention, or a Google review. | They call you, request maintenance, or leave a review with one gesture. |
What really changes compared to a business card?
A business card ends up in a drawer, a bag, or the trash. A flyer in the mailbox has a very low memorization rate. The maintenance magnet corrects these two limitations by relying on three simple principles.
| Criterion | Business Card / Flyer | Maintenance Magnet |
|---|---|---|
| Useful lifespan | A few days | The entire life of the equipment |
| Location | Bag, drawer, trash | On the equipment, at the client's location |
| Google reviews | Almost none | Request is facilitated and smooth |
| Update | Reprinting necessary | Remote modification |
| Perceived image | Standard | Professional, modern, polished |
1. It stays where the need arises
The magnet sits on the equipment itself: the boiler that will break down one day, the fuse box that will need redoing, the pool's plant room. When the need arises, your contact details are already in front of the customer. They don't have to search through a folder, ask a neighbour or compare three quotes on Google.
2. It turns satisfaction into Google reviews
Asking for a Google review by email works poorly. Printing a QR code on the invoice is barely better. The magnet, on the other hand, offers a "Leave a Google review" button at the exact moment the customer is satisfied: right after a successful job, or the next time they walk past it.
3. The content can be changed, not the object
If you change your phone number, open a new workshop or add a service, you update the information in a few minutes, without replacing the magnet already in your customers' homes. The physical object stays, the content evolves with your business.
Concrete benefits for a tradesperson
The maintenance magnet does not replace your expertise: it extends the contact you created during the intervention. Here are the concrete outcomes, trade by trade.
- More Google reviews: the client leaves a review when they are satisfied, without having to search for your profile.
- More maintenance requests: the client thinks of you when the equipment signals (red light, notification, alarm).
- More repairs: the client can directly find the professional who has already worked at their home, without searching urgently.
- More loyalty: your brand remains visible for 12 to 18 months, next to the fridge, in the boiler room, or in the technical room.
- More professional image: a clean, personalized, and useful support enhances your business.
- Simpler sales approach: no need to follow up with the client by email or phone — the support works for you.
Where to place your magnet according to your trade?
The magnet is designed for field professionals. Here are some examples of places that work particularly well depending on the trade.
| Trade | Where to place the magnet | When the client finds you |
|---|---|---|
| Plumber / Heating Engineer | On the boiler, hot water tank, or VMC | Breakdown, annual maintenance, leak, unusual noise |
| Electrician | On the electrical panel or GTL | Tripped circuit breaker, adding a socket, compliance |
| Pool Technician | In the technical room, on the pump or filter | Winterizing, repairs, water treatment |
| HVAC Technician | On the indoor or outdoor unit | Annual maintenance, breakdown, noise, performance |
| Maintenance Company | On the machine or equipment being maintained | Request for intervention, spare part |
| Property Manager / Manager | In the collective boiler room or technical room | Quick identification of the right service provider |
