And here we are again, starting a new year. Last year just flew by for me thanks to being so busy between work and family life. Hopefully your 2021 was just as fast because of how your plumbing company was doing.
There are always new things happening every year and some things that remain the same. That can be said about your plumbing company with new hires, new trucks, whatever. It can also be said with Plumber magazine this year.
If you aren’t changing up little things with your company from time to time it becomes stagnant. Even if you can change up your marketing material it’s better than keeping the same ads running for several years. Don’t be afraid to change.
We’re making some changes with Plumber magazine and we hope you enjoy them!
THE NEW
As with any new year, there’s always something new in Plumber magazine. This year we’re launching a new feature and it’s primarily based on some of our discussions with you on your service vehicles.
Our Rolling Billboard feature is a look at some of your service vehicles — trucks, vans, etc. — that you are using for your company.
We are asking you, the plumber or owner of a company, to simply take a photo of the outside of your service vehicle with your company’s logo or lettering on the side of it and tell us about it. Tell us the story behind the logo or how you came up with the design of it.
Along with that photo, we’re asking for a photo of the storage area of that service vehicle and tell us what you use for storage — is it a build-it-yourself shelving system or did you purchase it from a manufacturer?
We know how you feel about your service vehicles. They are your pride and joy. Why not share that with us and brag about them a little bit? You can email us high-resolution photos and a description of the service vehicle, along with your contact information, to editor@plumbermag.com.
THE OLD
Of course we’re bringing back some of our long-running features also as we start this new year. All three of our Industry Insiders — Randy Lorge, Anja Smith and Anthony Pacilla — are back. This month we’re kicking off with Randy.
If you ever have a question for any of them, feel free to email me that question and I’ll pass it along to them.
We also continue our product focus and product news features this year, where we show you the latest in plumbing tools that could help boost your company profits. Flip through the pages and find something that you could use on your service vehicles.
HIGHLIGHT YOU
Finally, we are still profiling your plumbing companies. If you own a plumbing company, it might be a good fit for a profile in Plumber. Reach out to me and tell me a little bit about your company and your story.
I love hearing your stories and sharing them with our readers. You can always reach me at 715-350-8436 or via email at editor@plumbermag.com.
Enjoy this issue and happy new year!
