Napkin Dispenser Ads for Electricians
Napkin dispenser ads for electricians catch homeowners while they're deciding on an EV charger, a panel upgrade, or a kitchen remodel. These are planned projects, and people plan them over dinner.
The new car in the driveway
A lot of electrical work starts with a purchase. A new EV, an induction range, a heat pump, a hot tub, an ADU in the backyard.
Each one raises the same question: can my panel handle it? The homeowner usually doesn't know, and that question is the opening for your card.
Offer a panel capacity check with a charger quote, and you've given them an easy first step.
Craftsman houses and knob and tube
Older neighborhoods across LA County still have original wiring, two-prong outlets, and undersized panels. Buyers find out during escrow inspections. Long-time owners find out when a breaker trips every time the microwave and the space heater run together.
Pick restaurants where you already see this wiring, and write the card for that house:
- Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Pasadena: rewires and panel replacements
- Valley tract homes: panel upgrades for EVs and central air
- Newer subdivisions: chargers, lighting, and smart panels
Permits belong in your pitch
Homeowners have heard stories about unpermitted work surfacing when they sell. A licensed electrician who pulls permits is a real point of difference, and it belongs on the card.
Something as plain as 'Licensed, permitted, inspected' next to your license number tells the reader you're not a cousin with a ladder.
Following a charger install to the next job
A charger install often turns into a panel upgrade, and a panel upgrade can turn into lighting or a remodel a year later. Track the first call from the card, then note what each job became.
Use a dedicated number or QR code, and ask every new customer where they heard about you. The follow-on work is where the card's value usually shows up.
What fits on a card this size
The card is about 6.5 by 4.25 inches and gets read from across a table in a few seconds. For an electrician that means a headline, one offer, a license number, and a way to reach you.
Skip the service list. Nobody at dinner needs to know you also do landscape lighting and generator hookups. The card's job is to make one planned project feel easy to start, and the page behind the QR code can carry the rest.
If you want people to send a panel photo first, say so on the card. It saves a site visit on jobs that won't work out.
A note on advertising rules for electricians
Electrical contractors in California generally need a C-10 license, and the CSLB typically expects the license number on advertising. Permit requirements for panels and chargers vary by city, so confirm locally before advertising a specific offer.
You approve every proof, so you stay in control of what goes to print.

Questions electricians ask us
What should an electrician put on a napkin ad?
One planned job and one action. An EV charger quote or a panel capacity check works well, because homeowners already wonder whether their panel can handle new equipment. Add your license number and the word permitted so the reader knows you do it properly.
Does this work for commercial electricians?
It can, but the tables reach the people eating there, mostly residents and local business owners. Small commercial work, like lighting retrofits for nearby shops, can fit if you pick restaurants along commercial corridors.
Can I change my card to push a different service?
Yes. Design changes are included on a schedule that depends on your plan. Many electricians would alternate between a charger card and a panel or safety inspection card through the year.
What does the restaurant get out of it?
The restaurant gets the dispensers and a starter supply of napkins free, with no contract, and approves every advertiser. That's why restaurants agree to host the cards, and why they can ask for any ad to be removed.
