Use AI to write a clear maintenance reminder letter that brings past customers back for seasonal plumbing checkups.
1. Open ChatGPT or Claude and tell it you want to write a friendly maintenance reminder letter for past customers. Explain what service you're reminding them about — like water heater flushing before winter, sump pump testing before spring rains, or outdoor faucet winterization. 2. Give AI a few details: what you did for them last time, how long ago, and why now is a good time to schedule the follow-up. Mention any seasonal risks or benefits — burst pipes in cold weather, efficiency savings, peace of mind. 3. Ask AI to keep the tone warm and helpful, not pushy. You want it to sound like a neighbor looking out for them, not a sales pitch. Request a short letter — under 200 words — that's easy to read on a phone. 4. Review what AI writes and adjust anything that doesn't sound like you. Add your contact info, a simple call-to-action like 'Reply to this text or give me a call,' and any current availability or discount for repeat customers. 5. Copy the final version and save it as a template you can personalize and send by email, text, or even print and mail. Use it every season to stay top-of-mind with customers who already trust you. 6. Over time, tweak the template based on what gets responses. AI can help you test different subject lines or opening sentences if one version isn't working.

End with a simple call-to-action asking them to text or call to schedule. Make it sound like I'm looking out for them, not just trying to sell a service.”
