Where to find customers for mobile boring? This is a question that everyone who has just invested in specialized equipment asks themselves. We found this out when we invested in our first kit:
🔧 Cost of the machine: $12,000
🚐 Van (Mercedes-Benz): 6 000 $
Then we asked ourselves the most important question: 👉 Where to look for customers for mobile boring?
Here are 10 ways that we have really tested in practice:
1. 🤝 Visiting local workshops
We started by visiting 10 workshops in Krakow that provided similar services. The results?
- There were no quick orders, but the relationships paid off in the long term.
- One of our first big orders came from there.
➡️ Conclusion: direct contact builds trust and is memorable.
2. 📌 Advertisements on local portals
We put out bids for:
- OLX
- Sprzedajemy.pl
- Allegro Locally
- Ten.pl
➡️ Why it’s worth it. A simple and inexpensive way to get your first orders, even without a website.
3. 🌐 Errors on the first web page
We paid a freelancer $600 for a site that:
- It had no forms or analytics
- It did not generate any queries
➡️ Science: it’s better to have a simple, functional site than a “pretty” one with no results.
4. 🚫 Problems with Google Ads
Freelancer ran ads – we were blocked. We started over, hiring the person internally and training him.
➡️ Result: Today, this person knows our business and runs effective campaigns.
5. 📬 Email and CRM – our biggest mistake
At first, we did not collect customer data. Later:
- We have built a base
- We sent offers and reminders
➡️ Today: This is one of our main sources of sales.
6. 📱 Social media = trust
We publish:
- Photos from the implementation
- “Before and after” comparisons
- Customer reviews
- Reports and rolls from the field
➡️ Effect: Growing visibility and credibility in the industry.
7. 💡 Command system
We introduced bonuses and commissions for service referrals. It worked great, especially among service centers and workshops.
➡️ Conclusion: customers are the best brand ambassadors.
8. 📈 Large diameters = large orders
Some customers want to buy the machine first. When they see the cost and difficulty of operation, they prefer to outsource the service.
➡️ Tip: Talk to potential buyers – they can become your customers.
9. 🌍 Testing foreign markets
We exhibited services and machines on foreign portals, and ran campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.
➡️ Effects: New customers from Europe and first orders from abroad.
10. 🔍 SEO > Google Ads
Currently, SEO generates more valuable inquiries than paid advertising:
- Customers are aware of the problem and are looking for a concrete solution
- They hit on our content, guides and products
➡️ Conclusion: SEO is a long-term investment with real results.
Summary
If you just bought a machine and have no orders – do not panic. We also started from scratch. We made a lot of mistakes, but we didn’t give up.
💬 The first orders came after dozens of conversations and rehearsals.
👉 Customers come through regularity, not perfection.
