My brother and I started an HVAC company five years ago.
My brother was working in the industry for several years, but I was just getting started.
I had a lot to learn in the beginning and business was slow. After two years, we finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Business is starting to pick up. One of the biggest reasons is due to the fact that we have a new website for the HVAC company. My girlfriend’s brother is a computer nerd and he loves designing websites. He offered to make us a website for free. My brother and his girlfriend offered to pay the guy a small fee, but he was happy to help for free. The website where I live a few weeks ago and business has been booming since then. The changes must be due to the website, because a lot of people are using our online coupons. We thought it would be a great idea to put some coupons on the website. It turns out that was an amazing idea. We have three separate coupons on the website page. One is a 10% off a regularly scheduled tune up, and another is $100 off any new product installation. The third coupon is for our commercial customers. Since the website went live, we have had more than a hundred people use coupons that they printed off our website. If I had known that our online presence would have made such a huge difference, my brother and I would have opted for a website years ago.
