The construction industry is full steam ahead, the laws are constantly changing, and the opportunities for licensed contractors abound. To save money, many new licensees (as well as many 'seasoned' ones) are operating their businesses by themselves, swinging hammers by day and wielding pens by night.

The paperwork involved in contracting is extensive, time consuming and oftentimes overwhelming what with accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, scheduling, bidding, quarterly taxes, preliminary notices, lien releases, contract wording, insurance policies and certificates, bonds, etc., etc., etc.

Over the years, through conversations with many different contractors, we came to realize that there is a great need for all contractors (seasoned, newly licensed and potential) to have one source that is accessible both day and night for straight answers, detailed guidance and moral support.

During the past two (almost) years that our site has been online, we have come to find out that the need for this website is even greater than we realized!

Check out our visitor count, it has absolutely exploded!

Our web site is a way to allow contractors from all over to access free forms and free tutorials; meet, talk, and share ideas with other contractors; and to find easy connections to vendors of the construction industry, all from the comfort of their own home and/or office.

Our goal is to provide practical and useful information to all contractors (as well as potential contractors) free of charge. Contractors can access the website 24/7 to find answers, information and free forms for virtually every aspect of the contracting business, which will enable them to run their own business more efficiently and smoothly. Success requires efficiency and, when a contractor is successful so are his vendors.

Your advertisement can't find a more appropriate home than here at our site. Our visitors are all involved in the construction industry and as such, they need your services and/or products.

We've got two levels of advertising available to you, and both are extremely affordable.

Our first program: Business E*cards

Your business E*card will be posted here at our site for others to access and print. Your business E*card prints at the very same size as a standard business card, so that your potential customer can print it and put it in his business card file. (please click here to see an example).

Next we'll disburse text and/or graphical advertisements for your company on various pages throughout our website. When a person clicks on one of your advertisements, they will be presented with your E*card. From there, your visitor can print your E*card and/or click on a link that will take them to your website and/or click on a link that will allow them to send an email to you.

You pay only for the times your E*card is viewed. As mentioned above, your E*card is created in such a manner that the viewer/your potential client can print your E*card on paper and include it with his/her business card file. Your potential client is encouraged to print the E*card via the title of the webpage which reads as follows, "Use your print function to print this e-card for (Your company name)".

Because it's so easy for your potential client to print and save your E*card, the possibility of you paying more than once (for a potential client who might otherwise access your, unprintable, E*card more than once), is greatly reduced.

The branding you get from the placement of your advertisements on various pages throughout the website is absolutely free!

According to an article posted at Jupiter Media Metrix,

"Marketers that quantify online branding value through traditional consumer surveys or observation of consumers' online behavior can demonstrate that actual online return on investment (ROI) is at least 25 percent to 35 percent higher than is shown using standard direct marketing metrics such as click rate and conversion rate.".

It's important to understand how valuable this advertising program is to realize your Return On Investment. Suppose you are an attorney and you have an E*card at this site. The only people who are going to view your E*card are those people who have a current interest in, and/or a need for, your services.

The guy who has a good business going might not need your services right now so he isn't going to click on your advertisement, but the value of the branding you receive by his continued return to this website (and his numerous viewings of your text and/or graphical advertisement[s]), is realized when he does need an attorney and he returns to access your E*card.

He returns to our website and clicks through to your E*card because he has become familiar with your firm, due to the numerous times he has viewed your advertisements.

What of the inevitable person who is going to request your E*card even though he/she does not have a current interest in your services?

First, he/she is still very definitely a potential client and second, that's why your E*card is designed to print in the size of a standard business card and why your visitor is encouraged to print your E*card.

Your potential client will now not only have your business card in his file, he also continues to become more and more familiarized with your company because he continues to return to this website to obtain forms and information, during which he is repeatedly exposed to your free advertisements!

Now let's replace Attorney with Accountant, or with Container Supplier, or with Payroll Provider, etc., etc., etc. The possibilities are endless!

The rate on your business e*card is simple: $100 one-time set-up fee plus .20¢ each time your E*card is accessed. You don't pay for the amount of times your advertisements (sprinkled throughout our website) are viewed, only when your E*card page is viewed.

Payment is due in advance, at the amount of 100 E*card page views, plus the set-up fee. This means you can get started advertising at our site for only $120.00!

I can provide you with a form you can use to qualify your phone calls, so that you'll know how your callers learn about your company. This basic form is extremely helpful in determining which advertisements are worth your investment and which advertisements are not worth your investment!

Once your E*card has been viewed 100 times, we (you and I) can use the data from my website tracking application, and the form you'll use to qualify your new contacts, to evaluate how well your E*card has performed, and to decide how to proceed from there.

Our second program: The "Website" Package at $1200 per year:

1) The E*card as explained in our first program above, but with unlimited E*card requests at no additional charge and no set up fee, PLUS:

2) Your own webpage - We will create one or more webpages for your firm (at our site) with a unique address that you can give to your clients and/or use in other advertising.

'Surfers' will be able to e-mail you directly from the page(s) we create for you. If you have your own domain website, we will also include a link to it.

Your webpage will include a description of your company and offerings, any pictures you would like posted (ie: your personnel, your building, your office, etc.), and just about anything else you would like included. Here's an example: SCIB, Inc.

3) Newsletter - Your advertisement will appear in our newsletter no less than six times during the year.

One very important feature: WE ARE FLEXIBLE. If you should have an idea other than what you see here, please let us know and we will do our best to incorporate it! Please keep in mind, any time you need adjustments made to your advertisements, we will accommodate you at no extra charge.

Special Offer: Purchase full year at one time and save $200. That's 12 months for the price of 10 months!l

Pease browse our website at your leisure. If you have any questions please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,
Diane Dennis
