If you’re like most fence professionals, you want new calls from customers, more referrals and better conversion of word-of-mouth referrals. That means putting yourself in front of your customers again and again and again. To help you do that, we’ve put together our top three ad strategies for 2019…
• Remember. Most of your competitors don’t get around to running cost-effective ad strategies.
• Or more commonly, they’re still running outdated strategies because it’s easier than trying something new. Who could blame them?
• That means, now’s your chance to make a go-ahead move for 2019.
So why not use your time to listen to 3 simple advertising strategies, from a group with 15+ years of experience in your field? Our goal is to put these strategies into plain English that even the least tech savvy business owner could follow. Join Matt Horn, Director of Search Products, Lisa Benezra, Search Industry Consultant, and Alain Parcan, Director of Education on April 30, 2019 for the presentation.

Work has already begun for the educational programming that will be conducted at the 2020 FENCETECH in Salt Lake City, Utah. AFA planners are looking for topics and presenters from the fence and gate industry. New topics that would represent educational opportunities for fence contractors are most in demand. If you or someone you know in the industry wants to be an educational presenter, we’d love to hear from you.

The Indianapolis FENCETECH was a fantastic event – lots of learning, networking and sharing. The AFA Member Savings Program had several suppliers in attendance, including Hewlett Packard, Synchrony Financial, Alliant Insurance and FedEx. These four suppliers are assisting AFA members with saving significant money on day to day key expenses. Synchrony is also helping members increase sales closing rates and increase their average sales per job by offering consumer financing.
