Prepare Your HVAC Business for Peak Seasons With Seasonal Marketing Campaigns

Table of Contents

HVAC businesses rely heavily on seasonal trends. Your customers want to be comfortable year-round, and effective seasonal marketing is all about leveraging seasonality to show how you can help them achieve that goal. Here are three ways to build seasonal marketing campaigns that bring in new leads.

Understand Peak and Off-Peak Seasons

The ultimate key to seasonal marketing for HVAC businesses lies in understanding what to promote during peak and off-peak seasons. In the summer, your customers will want to find respite from scorching temperatures with a well-functioning air conditioning unit. In the winter, it’s all about furnaces and heating systems.

You can use PPC campaigns to promote these offers, ensuring each ad and landing page reflects the season. Still, you may be at a loss about what seasonal promotions to provide in the spring and fall when temperatures are milder and HVAC systems aren’t at the forefront of customers’ minds.

In these periods, consider offering discounts on system tune-ups and maintenance. Remind home and business owners that the milder months are the times to ensure their system is ready to handle extreme weather and provide an incentive to do so.

Provide and Promote Seasonal Content

Educating your customers through robust content is an excellent seasonal marketing tactic that builds your expertise and promotes trust. Your seasonal content might revolve around themes like:

  • How to reduce spring allergies in the home
  • Tips for buying the most energy-efficient heating system
  • How to save money on AC bills in the summer
  • How to keep your HVAC systems healthy and working well in all seasons

You can promote your content on your social media profile. Make sure that what you write correlates with the seasons so that it’s timely for customers.

Additionally, your content should contain and be built around local search keywords, such as “duct cleaning near me.” This can enhance your search engine rankings and increase conversions, as 28% of local searches result in purchases.

Lean Heavily Into Targeted and Personalized Campaigns

It’s crucial that you find ways to nurture both current and future customers to promote your services in peak seasons. One way to do this is by keeping your communication targeted and personalized. Try having your existing customers sign up for personalized email or text reminders when they are due for system service and maintenance.

You can also encourage potential and existing customers to sign up for your email newsletter to access seasonal promotions and discounts. As with all of your HVAC marketing, these promotions should reflect the seasonality of your business. Additionally, you can segment the list by factors such as:

  • Geographic location
  • Demographics
  • Service history
  • Other criteria

This enables you to present more targeted messaging to each customer.
