Customer Testimonials

Here's what some of our concrete contractor members have to say!

"I wanted to send you a few pictures of some recent work for the gallery...I can't say enough how much my association with The Concrete Network has helped our cause. You have increased our estimates by 65%.

"The contractor article that Juliet Farmer wrote was outstanding and has been added to our mailings. Not to mention the great response from it.

Keep up the great work!"

"My company gets 75-80% of our business from the Concrete Network. I always ask 'Where did you hear of us' and 9 times out of 10, it is the Concrete Network. Matt is amazing! He built my site for me and updates it on the same day. I can't say enough about him. I have 2 years in business. My business exists and survives because of the Concrete Network. You can do a search for Concrete Countertops and it takes you right to the Concrete Network and right to my business. It is awesome; my business wouldn't exist if it weren't for the Concrete Network!! We picked up another magazine today and it had a full page ad of the Concrete Network and it is awesome!"

"Just surfing around and comparing some of the concrete sites to yours, and I have to say you guys are kicking ass with one hand tied behind your back!! I'm convinced your site is the one-stop site for the pulse of the industry.

"Proofs-in-the-pudding; I advertise on other sites in addition to yours. Month after month, my website stats show that referrals from your site are 3:1 compared to all others combined.

Keep up the great work!"

"I've gotten a ton of business through the Internet and Concrete Network. Most people don't know what to look for in a phone book or the yellow pages, so they go to places like Concrete Network.

"It's been worth every penny. I'd say that 50 to 70 percent of the phone calls I get are related to Concrete Network. It's amazing."

"Our experience with the Concrete Network has been phenomenal! Their customer service is unparalleled! The website their team created is now an integral part of our company. Thanks to the Concrete Network we have been able to virtually eliminate our phonebook advertising, saving our business thousands of dollars a year. It is impossible to total the number of dollars our website has generated for our business! Our sales staff uses our website daily as a valuable referral tool to prospective clients. Not only does our website legitimize our business, but it serves as a way for our team to communicate with customers by giving them access to color charts, maintenance sheets and other educational information. I would recommend the Concrete Network to anyone wanting to increase their business and save money on advertising."

Letters from Concrete Contractors:

Dear Jim:

If you will recall, I am that two-fingered typist who found your web site one night, three months ago and emailed you with questions. To my surprise, you answered me the following day. I knew immediately after speaking with you that I was dealing with a man as passionate about his work as I am. As a concrete contractor I had been wrestling for some time with extremely limited knowledge of how to utilize the web to my business advantage. I feel very fortunate that you were there to guide me down that blind alley.

In a matter of days you had me up and running with my own domain name and web site. I can't tell you how rewarding it is for me to finally be able to present my product to the world. I can now give contractors, architects, and prospective clients a place to go view our work. This is such a time saving tool for me because I used to drag samples and portfolios all around the Bay area.

One thing I did not expect is the dozens of emails from around the world. Not only are homeowners contacting us, but architects and other contractors as well. In the past three weeks, we have looked at eighty thousand dollars worth of potential work generated solely from Concretenetwork.com and the web site. I have signed contracts for thirty-six thousand dollars. This has all happened so fast, I have not even had time to print the web site on our business cards. I have had to hand write them. For example, our new customer who found us on Concretenetwork.com introduced us to her architect. I could not have picked a better design to showcase our applications. That architect, in turn, has expressed a desire to work with us on other projects.

I would like to thank you and your staff for your dedication, efficiency, and accessibility. In the dozens of times I have dialed your toll-free number I have yet to leave a message with a machine. There has always been someone available to assist me. It is a pleasure working with a company of your caliber. I can't wait to see the new, innovative ways you will come up with to connect the customer to the contractor. If you have someone interested in advertising with you who is reluctant to do so, please have them contact me so I can assure them that the benefits are unlimited, and that I can share with them all the wonders I have experienced through Concretenetwork.com.

Thanks so much for the coverage. I would like to get the clip about us to play off our web site, and would appreciate getting the code for doing that.

If you ever want a testimonial about the effectiveness of advertising on Concrete Network, I would be very happy to help. The medium has been without a doubt the most cost effective advertising we have run. We get calls from both commercial and residential prospects, and in the last year have generated around $150,000 in business directly attributable to our presence on Concrete Network. More importantly, the business we generated off of Concrete Network referred leads has connected us with 5 GC's that have become repeat customers, and we would not have been through the door with these companies if not for the introduction through Concrete Network.

In contrast, we have run a $900 per copy ad in a trade news paper distributed to architects and GC's in our market area. They even ran an excellent full page article on us to help us generate exposure. We have gotten all of 1 call off the ad and article in with 4 issues distributed over 7 months, and $0 in revenue.

We have placed ads in Yellowbook and Yellow Pages online search engine, and not generated a single call from the presence, and our Web Logs show that every month for the last year, Concrete Network has generated more referral traffic to our site by orders of magnitude than any other source.

Concrete Network is a very important part of growth, and I am elated with its value to our company.
