I moderated a discussion forum and gave a brief presentation to my local chapter of NARI, which is a remodeling contractors professional group. It was great hearing the amount of feedback and informative questions the group had on using the web for remodeling businesses.
Resources they use:
- LinkedIn – For networking with other contractors. I suggested also using it to network with current and past customers.
- Builder Trend – Tracks prospects, projects, and subcontractors. Joe from Billingham Built loves it.
- WordPress.com – For blogging
- CMS Systems for keeping their sites updated.
- Google Analytics – For tracking site hits and traffic.
Also take a look at the meeting notes for more information on the topics and tips I presented.
