Value
A successful marketing program is layered and cohesive. Your message should be consistent, while outlets vary, spreading the same message through many sources. ConnectedContractors.com was built to be the virtual extension or your real-world marketing program.
A one-year investment in ConnectedContractors.com runs $300 per year and includes three directory listings in your local marketplace. In addition to the advertising exposure, the annual fee includes a mobile computing platform, a web-based database manager, fully customizable document creation, sales forecasting, fleet/equipment maintenance and an assortment of coupon, help wanted and classified ad message boards.
In addition to getting unlimited leads (free from commissions or additional fees) from our online directory, ConnectedContractors.com’s Service Team feature facilitates B2B and B2C referrals. Business can also build brand/reputation within the local community by emailing our Customer Service Survey to clients…as results are posted, consumer confidence in your company soars.
ConnectedContractors.com won’t replace your current marketing campaign, but 100% of the annual membership investment could be funded in place of:
- Direct Mail: 1 less direct mail piece (print/mail 500 postcards to prospects)
- Radio: 16 less spots
- Cable: 12 less spots
- Banner Ad: 1 less month of banner advertising on a local portal site
- Newspaper: 1 less 3”x4” display ad
- Phone Book: 1 less month of quarter-page display ad
- Coffee: 1 cup a day
