How do I monetise a Ferret Leak Locator?


With any large purchase in the plumbing trade, it’s important to bear in mind your return on investment or ROI. There’s no denying that effective equipment can be expensive but once you calculate how you can monetise your investment, you can work out when you’ll earn your money back from the purchase and when you’re generating profit.

With a Ferret Leak Locator, the investment can easily be returned within a short period of time and can even lead to gaining new clients. The features of the system allow it to be much more accurate than traditional leak detection systems and can save you time and money.

How can a Ferret Leak Locator help my business become more profitable?

Using the Ferret Leak Locator as a marketing tool can help you generate new clients. The Ferret device earns lots of interest – from both plumbers and consumers. Consumers are realising the benefits of a quicker and more efficient leak detection tool, as well as the minimal disruption to their garden and property, meaning minimal clean up after you’ve left. Advertise the Ferret Leak Locator on your website, as well as the advantage it gives your business over competitors, and watch the increase in customers contacting you.

By providing a fast and efficient service to your clients, you can increase the amount of jobs you can fit in during the day. Jobs are completed sooner as it takes mere minutes to find the leak location rather than digging up unnecessary holes in the client’s property.

You can say goodbye to problem jobs where you struggle to find the leak, taking much longer than expected. Tasks like digging or removing different types of materials to get to the pipe before even locating the leak can be costly. The Ferret Leak Locator allows you to better predict job times so you don’t have to worry about running over schedule and being late for the next customer. With better job scheduling and planning, you can maintain your professional appearance to your clients rather than hinder it with unexpected delays. This goes hand in hand with offering a great customer service which will benefit you when someone asks a previous customer of yours where to go for a leak repair service!
