An AI-generated example. Real results depend on your own space.

Most of your best work comes from people who already know you: past clients, neighbours, passers-by and people who see your van. Your private link gives them an easy way to picture the job before they ask for a quote.

What your private link does

Every professional on GlowUpp gets a private link and QR code. A client uploads a photo, sees their own space redesigned and sends it to you for an estimate. It is private to you: other tradespeople do not see it. Your first 3 jobs through your own link are free, and after that GlowUpp charges 2% of the accepted quote (capped at £250).

Where to put it

  • On the back and sides of your van, as a QR code with a short line such as "See your space redesigned".
  • On a yard or site sign outside a job you are working on, if the client agrees.
  • On your business cards, flyers and invoices.
  • At the bottom of every quote and email you send.
  • In the bio of your social media profiles.

Use it during a visit

When you are quoting, ask whether the client would like to see their space redesigned. They can scan the code while you are there, and you both leave with the same picture of the job.

Send it after an enquiry

When someone messages you and you cannot visit yet, reply with your link and a short note: "Upload a photo of the space and you will see some ideas. I will send you a quote based on what you like."

Ask satisfied clients to share it

A happy client is the best advertisement. Ask them to pass your link to friends or family who are planning something similar.

Keep it honest

Explain that a redesign is an idea, not a promise of the finished result, and write the specification into your quote. Clients appreciate straight talk.
