How Branded Fob Keyrings Help Locksmiths Get More Repeat Work...


We deal with hundreds of locksmiths every year.


The reason is simple…

👉 You deal with keys.
👉
We make keyrings.


It’s a logical match.


But this isn’t just about putting plastic on metal.

It’s about turning every key you cut, every lock you change, and every emergency call-out into a future job waiting to happen.


Why Locksmiths Should Use Branded Keyrings


When you finish a job, what usually goes on the keys?

  • A scrap bit of paper?
  • A cheap flimsy tag?
  • Nothing at all?


Now imagine instead:

 ✅ A professional, double-sided printed keyring
✅ Your
phone number clearly visible
✅ Your
website or QR code ready to scan
✅ Your
trade association logos adding authority


That keyring then lives:

  • On their main keys
  • On their spare keys
  • On their back door keys
  • In their glovebox (auto locksmiths – you know this one 😉)


That’s daily brand exposure, sitting in their pocket.



How Fob Keyrings Help Locksmiths Get More Work...


1️⃣ Constant Reminder Marketing


Once a job is complete, your Fob Keyring stays with the customer.

Next time:

  • They move house
  • A lock sticks
  • A neighbour needs help
  • A family member gets locked out

They don’t Google.

They don’t scroll.

They look down at their keys.

And there you are. 🔑



2️⃣ Turn Your Keyring Into a Mini Business Card


Your keyring can include:

  • 📞 Phone number
  • 🌐 Website
  • 📧 Email
  • 💬 WhatsApp
  • 📲 Social handles
  • ⭐ QR code to reviews
  • 🏷 Trade memberships

It’s essentially a mini billboard that lives in their pocket.


3️⃣ QR Codes Take It To Another Level 🚀


QR codes allow you to:

  • Send customers directly to your website
  • Push them to your Instagram
  • Collect Google reviews
  • Highlight a current offer
  • Showcase recent jobs

You’ve done a great job for them…
Make it easy for them to leave you a great review.

We did say the list was long 😉



Practical Uses Locksmiths Are Loving...


From our experience, locksmiths are using Fob Keyrings to:

  • ✔ Put one on every set of keys after changing locks
  • ✔ Add them to spare sets around the house
  • ✔ Leave one in the glove box (auto locksmiths 👀)
  • ✔ Photograph them in social media posts
  • ✔ Encourage referrals from customers
  • ✔ Promote specific services


And yes…

If you order 1,000 — we don’t mind splitting them.

For example:

  • 500 with a QR code to your review page
  • 500 with a writable box for labelling key sets

We’re flexible like that 👍



Add Authority With Trade Organisation Logos


Member of:

  • MLA?
  • Checkatrade?
  • UK Locksmith Association?
  • Or another recognised body?


Put it on your keyring. Instant credibility.


Adding trade logos reinforces trust and professionalism.


When customers see it every day on their keys, it strengthens your brand.



Professionalism After Every Lock Change


Let’s talk about presentation...


You’ve just:

  • Changed every lock in the property
  • Supplied multiple new keys
  • Completed a tidy, professional job


And then…


You hand over keys on a scrap of paper?


Instead:

🖊 You can write on our fobs
🏷 Label each key set clearly
💼 Present everything neatly


Small touch. Big impression.

Covid turned our world upside down and it changed how we live. One positive tiny thing to emerge from our new way of living however was that the main stream public all learnt what a QR code is. Everyone began using their smartphones (using often just the camera app) to scan into venues, view menus in restaurants, find out information etc. This technology had been around for a good few years, but had never really been put to good use before however, now people knew what they were and how to use QR codes and were using them everyday. We have also seen an increase in the amount of companies using them on their FobKeyrings. A QR code can link to many different elements of your business. A QR code can link to a website, or even a specific page on a website. A QR code can even go to social media pages, like Instagram and Facebook, making it easier for your customers to follow you and stay up to date. If you require a QR code on your FobKeyring they are free to implement, and all you need to do is just supply us with the link you require the QR code to go to, if you don’t already have your own QR artwork, and we will create one. Above, are a few examples of FobKeyrings with QR codes on, to give you an idea of what is possible. Our design hints: keep the fob design simple and keep the QR code as big as possible as it will be easier to scan. There are also additional ways that QR codes can be used - they can store your contact details and upload them onto your customers phones or they can link to a link tree so multiple websites and social pages can be used off the same QR code. To use these more advanced QR codes a monthly fee is often required.
