In the early days of his shed business, John, the owner of Quotec Systems, didn’t have the luxury of digital marketing, social media, or even a big advertising budget. With the power of simple marketing, instead, he had a ute, wrapped on the side a simple sign and a straightforward message:
Listen here if you’re on the go.
John says, “It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t complicated—but it worked.
I just parked the ute in different places each day,” John recalls. “At a busy corner, at a roundabout, near job sites, anywhere I thought shed buyers might be. People saw the sign, called the number, and sales took off. It was that simple.”
That one ute and sign, with its no-nonsense message, generated more sales than any other marketing strategy John tried. Why? Because it spoke directly to the people who needed a shed. No distractions, no jargon—just a direct question and an easy way to get in touch.
Fast forward to today, and marketing has changed for everyone. But the core principle remains the same: be where your customers are looking.
Just like John’s ute sign found shed buyers in hardware store car parks. Today’s shed businesses need to be efficient in how they operate, making it easier for customers to buy.
