Generator dealer email and SMS marketing: the cheapest installs you will ever sell

A homeowner who fills out a form is filling out three. The dealer who responds first books the assessment most of the time, and the advantage decays in minutes, not hours. An automated text that goes out in under a minute — with a real name and a specific next step — is the highest-ROI automation in this business.

Pair it with a call attempt inside five minutes. The text holds the homeowner's attention; the call books the appointment.

Notice what is not on this list: newsletters, holiday graphics and 'company news.' Homeowners buying a five-figure appliance want answers, not a magazine.

• What a whole-home generator costs installed, and what moves the number.
• How to size a unit for their house, in plain language.
• Natural gas vs. propane, and what it means for their fuel bill.
• Permitting and timeline expectations for their county.
• One real install story with photos and the homeowner's outcome.
• Financing terms, if you offer them, with a monthly number.
• Annual maintenance reminders and what happens if you skip them.

SMS to consumers is regulated. You need express written consent for marketing texts, A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration for your sending number, clear opt-out language, and honored opt-outs. Email needs a real physical address and a working unsubscribe under CAN-SPAM.

Transactional texts about a scheduled appointment sit in a different bucket than marketing blasts, but the safe posture is consent on every form and a documented record of it. We set this up as part of the build, including 10DLC registration, so your messages actually deliver instead of getting filtered.
