Re: Web Sites


A web presence, clean and kempt appearances, a reasonable van (no rusted out Cadillacs) makes great reinforcement for you. check out www.dexbuild.com I'll post the hitsNOW and next week to illustrate.

I just put ads in the talking phone book valued at over 10,000. I did get a good deal though. It comes out in March.

1. Front cover color ad.
2. Half page color under General contractor + name/website under GC.
3. Business Card under Kitchen Remodeler + name/website listing.
4. Business card size under roofing + name/website listing.
5. Business card size under drywall + name/website listing.
6. name/website listing under wallpaper.

Plus I just lettered 2 vehicles this weekend and just created my website the end of last month. Still working hard on website.

I also advertise in one local paper (not consistently, but might start) and market in neighborhoods I am working in.

Bottom line, I believe you need more than one type of marketing.

We'll see how all this turns out.
