Can You Build a Wood Fence? We Have Work for YouA quality wood fence contractor is hard to come by these days, even though homeowners in record numbers are requesting to have wood fences built. What's strange in this industry is that it seems like everybody and their brother can build a wood fence (or at least claim that they can), so there should be plenty of wood fence builders to answer the consumer demand. However, there is a different problem afoot that is leaving many wood fencing contractors without enough fence jobs in their pipeline. Online Fence Jobs These days, hundreds of fencing contractors are being searched for online. We all knew this day would come, but many didn't think it would hit this soon. Some have remarked that the housing boom has been the culprit, and it makes perfect sense. A younger generation of tech-savvy adults are buying new homes in suburban areas and they need to have a fence put up to mark their property and to keep what's theirs to themselves. Because this generation turns to the internet for everything and to the Yellow Pages for almost nothing (they might not know what the Yellow Pages are), all new and future fence jobs will be coming from the internet. This is certainly an industry change, but it is not a problem, unless you don't have any way to get at these online wood fencing jobs. ServiceMagic Has Wood Fencing Jobs Building a website for your business can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Plus, unless people already know the name of your site, how are they going to find you? ServiceMagic attracts these online fence job requests, and then we pass them onto our member fencing contractors (for a fee, of course). That way, you don't have to have a fancy website and spend a fortune on advertising; you can let us do that for you. For example: A standard wood fence costs $20-$30 per linear foot. Let's say you get 10 leads to build a small wood fence (100 feet). Our wood fence leads are $30 each. So if you only convert 1 lead in 10, you are paying $300 to make $2000-$3000. The return on your investment is very sound, and this is if you only convert 10% of the leads and charge this much for a small fence. If the fence is bigger or high end, you still pay the same amount for leads. Pay for What You Get The great part of our service is that you only pay for the leads that you receive. If it happens that nobody needs a fence built in your area, you pay nothing. However, we received more than 29,000 wood fence job requests from across the country last year, and our goal is to keep you busy and building wood fences. Of course, if you are a talented fence contractor who can build more kinds of fences than just wood (vinyl, barbed wire, aluminum, wrought iron), we have those kinds of leads as well, not to mention 500 other home improvement related tasks. You get to choose the kind of work you want to receive so that you are choosing your customers, which means you get to do the kind of work that you want to do. Isn't it about time? |
