I look around on the web all the time. For me it’s my education time. I learn a little here and there and then test my own Ideas to see how they work.
Contractors need to make a major push to learn everything they can with marketing their company online. When you look at the cost of traditional marketing vs. online marketing it should be a wake up call to make the push to online.
I just read this from Clayton Makepeace Total Package site: According to CIA Word fact Book, 223 million Americans – roughly 74% of the population – now have web access. You think this is could include your client ?
We all know Google is the mother of search engines and their Google Maps is the best out there. I was just telling some contractors the other day about being able to add coupons and video to their company listing.
Man this is a big deal if you use it right and change it often. Get your clients to rate your work to get 5 stars all the time. Think about how easy it is, and about the lack of cost. Duh! This is a know brainier but so many contractors do not do this.
I was on some forums the other night under their marketing series and there were about 25 post under contractors spending money for postcard marketing and sending out 5000 pieces and not even getting 1 call. Then as you read down the post and everyone chimes in how so many are wasting their hard earned money and getting the same response.
Me, I just shake my head and wonder why they are not using the online way to profits. You have a website so why not make it work for you. This is your best return you could ever get. Please start marketing online! Contractorblab.com will be live in October with videos, audio and some reports on how to market online.
