Pool service play · Weekly service plans
Weekly pool service plans, sold to owners who've been doing it themselves.
Every one-time repair customer and every DIY pool owner on your routes is a possible weekly account. Spur finds them, writes a plain offer that lists what's included and what it costs each month, mails it with a QR code to sign up, and sends renewal reminders so the plan stays valuable.

The problem
Most of your one-time customers never hear about weekly service.
Testing, balancing, brushing, and cleaning filters take hours a month. Plenty of owners would pay to stop, if someone showed them the price.
Owners want to know what weekly service costs before they talk to anyone. A card without a price asks them to start a sales conversation.

AI draft for Karen L. · 8124 Wildridge Dr
Hi Karen,
We replaced your pool pump last May. Since then, you've probably been handling the water yourself, and you know how much of a Saturday that takes.
Our weekly plan is $159 a month, chemicals included. Every week we test and balance the water, brush the walls and steps, skim, and empty the baskets. Every quarter we clean the filter. You get a photo report after every visit, and we check the new pump each time, so small problems get caught early.
There's no long contract; cancel with 30 days' notice. Scan the code to see the full list of what's included and pick a start date.

How to sell weekly pool service plans
Recurring weekly accounts are what make a pool service company valuable. They smooth cash flow, keep technicians busy year-round in warm markets, and largely determine what a route is worth when it's bought or sold. Pool routes are commonly valued as a multiple of their monthly recurring revenue, so every plan you add raises the value of the business, not just this year's revenue.
Your best prospects are people who already trust you. One-time repair customers, green-to-clean jobs, and seasonal opening customers have seen your work. Many of them went back to doing it themselves simply because nobody offered a plan. A clear offer a few weeks after the job converts a meaningful share of them.
Then extend to look-alikes. Pool owners on the same streets as your past customers are similar homes, similar pools, and often similar budgets. Because they're on streets you already drive, every one who signs up also adds density to the route.
Price it on the card. Owners want to know what weekly service costs before they talk to anyone. State the monthly price, say whether chemicals are included, list what happens every visit and every quarter, and say how to cancel. Transparency beats "call for a quote," and it filters out owners who were never going to pay for service.
Show the value over time. A photo report after every visit makes the work visible. A renewal card before each anniversary that recaps the year, including any equipment problems you caught early, reminds members why they pay. Plans whose value is visible cancel less.
Finally, watch which lists produce plans that last. Repair customers, look-alikes, and new owners can retain at different rates. Tag each plan with the list that produced it and review attrition each quarter.
In seasonal markets, offer a season plan instead of a year-round one: opening, weekly service through the summer, and closing, priced as one package. It's the same idea, recurring and predictable, fitted to how pools are actually used there.

FAQ
Pool service plan questions
How do pool companies get more weekly accounts?
Offer a plan to every one-time repair and green-to-clean customer, then mail look-alike pool owners on the same streets. State the price, list what's included, and follow up.
What should a weekly pool service plan include?
Weekly testing and balancing, brushing, skimming, and basket cleaning, plus periodic filter cleaning and an equipment check. Say whether chemicals are included.
Should I put the price on the postcard?
Yes. Owners want to know the cost before they call. A clear monthly price filters out people who won't pay for service and speeds up the ones who will.
How do I reduce pool service cancellations?
Make the value visible: photo reports after each visit, and a renewal card before each anniversary that recaps the work and any problems you caught early.
Can I upload my customer list from pool service software?
Yes. Export a CSV from Skimmer, Pool Brain, Jobber, or a spreadsheet, upload it to Spur, and exclude current weekly accounts before mailing.
