The work is already there
Tanks age out. Furnaces need servicing. The panel that was fine three years ago isn't. Most of these people aren't avoiding you — they just haven't thought about it, and nobody has reminded them.
One time · For existing clients
Everyone you've ever done a job for is sitting in your invoicing software, and most of them haven't heard from you since the day you left. Reactivation goes back to that list and turns the ones still in range into booked work.

The first email went out this morning. This is the same day, teatime.
Why it works
A past customer already knows your name, has your invoice in their inbox and let you into their house once. That's a warmer start than any ad will ever buy you — and you've already paid for it.
Tanks age out. Furnaces need servicing. The panel that was fine three years ago isn't. Most of these people aren't avoiding you — they just haven't thought about it, and nobody has reminded them.
Four emails over three weeks, written about your work and sent from your own address. Anyone who books or replies drops out of the rest automatically. Nobody gets pestered.
Once the campaign is done, the service reminders take over — a tank fitted today gets a message in six years, a furnace serviced this autumn gets one next autumn. That part runs on inside your monthly, with nothing more to pay.
See it work
This is what lands in their inbox three years after you last saw them. It runs on its own — or tap any step to go at your own pace.
Sent from your own address, about the job you actually did, three years after you did it. No branding they don't recognise and no reason to think it's a blast.
Your name in the inbox is the whole advantage.
How it runs
Names, email addresses and the date of each job. A spreadsheet, a CSV, or a screenshot of your booking system — whatever's easiest. If it's scattered across two or three places, send all of them and I'll sort it out.
Sorted by job date and split into who can be contacted and who's outside the window. You get those numbers first — how many are eligible, how many are too old.
Four of them, in your voice, about the work you actually do. You read them before they go anywhere and change anything you don't like.
Spread across several days at first so your domain builds a sending reputation properly rather than looking like a blast.
You get a summary at four weeks: how many were contacted, how many opened, how many booked, what it was worth, and how many opted in to hear from you again. That last number is the one that keeps paying.
The law, briefly
Canadian anti-spam law lets you email someone for two years after their last job, and six months after an inquiry. Without dates I can't show who's inside that window — and the penalties for getting it wrong land on your business, not on whoever pressed send. So I won't send to a list I can't stand behind.
US law doesn't make you collect permission before emailing a past customer, but it does require your real postal address on the message, a subject line that tells the truth, and an unsubscribe that works — honoured inside ten business days. All of that is handled. What the dates do is tell me who's worth contacting: a customer from last spring is a live prospect, one from eight years ago is a complaint waiting to happen, and complaints are what get your domain blocked.
Email only, to start. Texting a list that never opted in through you is a good way to get your business number flagged by the carriers, whatever the anti-spam rules allow. Anyone who replies or opts in is fair game after that — and plenty do.
What it costs
That covers the audit, the writing, the sending and the summary. The ongoing service reminders it sets up afterwards are part of what you already pay for.
If the list is too thin, I'll say so and refund you. There's no point running this against forty contacts. I'd rather hand the money back than take it for something that won't work.
Not sure whether your list is worth it? Text or call (888) 240-2477, or email hello@everycall.co, and I'll tell you straight before you pay anything.
Every one of them cost you something — an ad, a van sign, or a referral you earned by doing the job properly. Reaching them again costs you once.
How it pays for itself: a plumber with 200 eligible customers, a 2% reactivation rate and an average job of $450 books four jobs — $1,800. Your trade, your list and your average job will all be different, and you'll have the real eligible number in front of you before anything is sent.
