So what are plural Plumbers and how will that help a Plumber to plunder projects?

Plural plumbers are plumbers who have two websites. One for the ‘normal’ web surfer who is looking for a plumbing service from their desktop computer and the other website is one for mobile devices.

A mobile device website will suit project managers or work supervisors looking for plumbers using their mobile phone or their Blackberry or some other mobile phone device.   Any Plumber who is readily accessible at the push of a button will plunder projects left-right and centre.

How many project managers, work supervisors or foremen on a worksite urgently need a Plumber?

Every time something untoward happens and every time a previously organized Plumber suddenly becomes ‘unavailable’.  Or is understaffed and needs someone to help to complete a job section because another trade has been organized for the next day and a certain section of a job has to be completed before that trade or delivery can be commenced or completed.

The fact is that any plumbing business not being accessible 24 hours a day will lose work. There is a big difference between choosing between jobs and not being asked to do the job or to quote a job.

As difficult as it is to believe, there are still some Plumbing businesses that still don’t even have a website. Choosing not to have a website is fine if they are quite happy plodding along and are kept busy. But if they are continuing to rely on the classified ads in a local newspaper or the yellow pages to supply customers to them then their days may not be as busy as those who have a website.

Now having a plumbing website to advertise their business and services that is available on a desktop will suit many people who are looking for a plumber to fix a dripping tap or a blocked toilet. Or if they get lucky will have someone find them to do some renovations. By having a website will allow people to find your business and at least ask you to quote a job.

The technical fact is that these websites are not found easily on a mobile or cell phone. They don’t translate well over to the new medium and a website owner needs to have it converted or a separate cell/mobile/handheld device website configured.

The information that is needed on a mobile device (Here we will call all cell phones, mobile phones, iPads etc. a mobile device for the sake of brevity) is different to what you may want to include on your ‘normal’ website.

The truth is that you don’t need your mobile device to list your referrals, or your agency appointments in the same way that you do need to have them on your normal website. If you are the sole supplier of a certain and popular brand in a small town or city, then listing that you are the agent for them locally is important. But if you are just one of many agencies in a bigger city, there isn’t much point, in Australia at least, of taking up potential customer’s air time to browse.

Not all countries treat cell/mobile phones with the same call costs mechanism.

Australian Telecommunication companies charge their customers differently to the way that a phone call is charged in the US and Canada. In Australia, with the browsing packs data download costs starting at $0.25 cents or worse if using a pre-paid package at $2.00 p/MB, potential customers will appreciate not wasting their air time and data download by having to browse unnecessary information.

So if you are a plumbing business wanting to plunder the opportunities of project job opportunities, then you will need to become a plural plumber
