Title: Geofencing and SEO: A Two-Step Process to Get More Clients Online

Date/Time: Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 2 PM CST – 3 PM CST

RSVP Link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5742798019772477453

Description: If you’re like most fence professionals, you want new calls from customers, but you don’t want to break the bank to target a widespread, broad audience.

BUT, what if you could drop DIGITAL business cards to every target customer, and it only cost you a penny each time it was shown on their phone or computer? Who wouldn’t want to do that?

All it takes is a Web Marketing strategy known as Geofencing.

Geofencing allows you to deliver highly-targeted business cards to your potential customers based on places they go, such as your competitor's locations, your own location, neighborhoods, and events.

Join us for this special presentation where Market Hardware’s team of Web Marketing experts, led by Doug Schatz, Director of Partnerships, will explain a simple process for getting the most out of your most profitable audience with Geofencing, combined with a strong SEO strategy to dominate new customer acquisition in your market.

 
 
The FENCETECH 2021 booth draw was a huge success. More than half the show floor is sold! It's still not too late to score a booth in a great space and get your company seen by thousands of potential customers at one of our most popular FENCETECH locations: Nashville, TN.
 
Check out the latest floor plan, 2021 exhibitor contract and sponsorship opportunities below. If you have any questions or are ready to secure a booth, contact Stephen Dennis at stephen@americanfenceassociation.com or call 314-561-6641.
