Fridge magnets for tradies and builders

Be the number they find in a hurry

Nobody searches for a plumber until water is coming through the ceiling. In that moment, people grab whatever is closest, and a magnet on the fridge with your name and phone number is about as close as it gets.

That's the simple case for promotional magnets in the trades. Leave one behind after every job and the customer doesn't need to dig through old invoices or scroll back through texts next time. They look up, see your logo and call. It also gives them something easy to pass on when a neighbour asks who did the work.

Shapes that look like your business

A die-cut magnet in the shape of a work vehicle stands out from a wall of rectangles and tells people what you do before they've read a word. Our die cut shapes include:

• Van at 46 x 90 mm, a natural fit for plumbers, electricians and cleaners.
• Van with a ladder at 48 x 90 mm, made for painters, sparkies, roofers and anyone who works at height.
• Truck at 50 x 85 mm, well suited to removalists, landscapers and delivery services.
• Car at 83 x 210 mm, a larger shape with plenty of room for services and contact details.
• House shapes from 50 x 60 mm, which suit builders, renovators and home maintenance businesses.

Our designers can colour the vehicle to match your actual fleet, put your logo on the side and your phone number where the number plate would be.

Business card magnets for the toolbox

If you already hand out business cards, swapping to business card magnets is an easy upgrade. At 90 x 54 mm they're the same size as a standard card, so they fit in a wallet, a quote folder or the glovebox, but they end up on the fridge instead of in a drawer.

Need more room? The extra long business card magnet at 60 x 120 mm fits a list of services, a service area and a line about after-hours call-outs without crowding your logo. Staple one to every quote and the customer has your details on hand when they're ready to say yes.

Magnets across the trades

Every trade uses magnets a little differently:

• Plumbers and gas fitters: put the emergency call-out number front and centre for burst pipes and blocked drains.
• Electricians and sparkies: highlight after-hours fault call-outs and your electrical licence number.
• Builders and renovators: leave a house shaped magnet with the homeowner at handover so they know who to call for the next project.
• Cleaners: print your regular booking line and the days you service the area.
• Pest control: add a reminder to book the next treatment along with your number.
• Removalists: a truck magnet in the new kitchen is a friendly reminder for the next move, and for the friends who help unpack.

What to put on a tradie magnet

A fridge magnet is small, so every line has to earn its place. A good checklist:

1. Your business name and logo, large enough to read from across the kitchen.
2. One phone number, in big type. If you offer emergency call-outs, say so clearly.
3. Your licence number, where your trade requires it to be shown.
4. The suburbs or region you service.
5. A website or email for quotes, if there's room.

Resist the urge to list every service. A clear name, a clear number and a reason to call will do more work than a crowded design. Our designer will help you trim it down.

A greener choice that suits hands-on work

Plenty of tradies are already thinking about waste on site, from sorting offcuts to recycling packaging. Green Magnets bring the same thinking to your marketing. Each magnet is printed on 100% recycled paper, covered with a plastic-free biodegradable laminate, made from a rubber magnet with at least 30% recycled content and packed in recyclable packaging with no plastic.

They're made in our own factory in Prestons, Sydney, running on 90% renewable energy from solar, and they're priced competitively with standard magnets. You can read how each layer works on our eco-friendly fridge magnets page.
