PISCATAWAY, N.J. (October 14, 2016) ― Are you a plumbing expert who likes to share your know-how and help improve your customers’ lives? You may be just the plumber we’re seeking.

Well-known plumbing manufacturer American Standard has launched its Plumber Know How contest, aimed at identifying the newest plumbing expert to engage customers and share professional advice through the Company’s website, social media communities, and at special events throughout the year.

The selected plumber-expert will receive $5,000 cash, $5,000 in product allowance, and extensive exposure via social engagement, online notoriety, and in-person contact with industry personnel. The plumber will participate in the program for up to 12 months, and will have the opportunity to be personally involved with the creation of promotional and instructional content for homeowners nationwide.

Interested plumbers can enter the contest by submitting a brief video filmed casually on a mobile phone or similar hand-held device. The video should be one-to-two minutes long and demonstrate the entrant’s personality, offer a piece of helpful plumbing advice that every homeowner should know, and express what the entrant likes about American Standard. This informal video can be uploaded at www.plumberknowhow.com now through December 15, 2016.

The contest winner will be a consummate trade pro who sets the standard for plumbers nationwide. This plumbing contractor can share his/her practical experience and advice that will improve day-to-day life for customers. The ideal individual will have the right answers to homeowners’ plumbing questions, from fixing simple leaks to saving water and beyond.

Additional activities for the Plumber Know How winner may include live product demonstrations at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), video productions at showrooms, and live social media events. The winning plumber’s social media channels will be promoted via the extensive American Standard online communities, to assist in exponentially publicizing their contracting business.
