The Benefits of Showcasing Past Projects

By Spectrum.  

Just because a project has already been completed or showcased once before doesn’t mean it can’t be shared again! Spectrum AI News shares why. 

Once the year starts coming to a close, many businesses begin looking towards the next big thing. While it is exciting to look forward to the next project, there is always room to look back at completed projects from earlier that year. Every job completed is one worth celebrating, no matter how long ago they were done!  

Sometimes it can feel as if rounding up your past projects is at the bottom of your to-do list. The end of the year is busy enough with the holidays, team members on vacation and the normal tasks you have to complete to keep your business running. However, even taking just ten minutes to write down the top five jobs that stick out to you is a great place to start. Your past work is valuable to your business, and not just from the revenue it generated. Let’s talk about why taking the time to highlight your jobs is important. 

Importance of highlighting past projects 

Displaying your past work provides your business with so many benefits, from marketing to customer relationships and beyond. Let’s talk through some of the reasons why you should feature your past projects: 

• Engage website visitors: Showing off your work is a great way to invite new customers to browse your website. Just like a window storefront can get people through the door, a beautiful addition to a home can prompt customers to click on your site to see more. 
• Add credibility: Back up your skills with the pictures and videos to prove it! Plus, showcasing your projects gives your sales team another tool during in-home appointments. Many contractors have enjoyed higher closing rates thanks to their past work. 
• Personalize your content: A great way to set yourself apart from the competition is by showing the type of work you do! Use your past projects to personalize your website, your social media and other advertising channels. 
• Feature local offers: What do neighbors have in common with one another? Their homes! Use your past jobs to reach new customers with localized targeting. Help customers get inspired by your work and then draw them in with a location-specific offer.
