When it comes to home improvement marketing, often business owners leave it to the waste-side. Other areas of the business are often in their face and need their attention immediately.

Many home improvement professionals want sales and then they can worry about their company brand and home improvement marketing later. Which should come first–its like “the chicken or the egg.” A brand is not just a logo as we all know and it needs some good home improvement marketing to make it stick.

Most small business owners have some great home improvement marketing ideas or they know what they like about other marketing, but unfortunately can never do it themselves.

Other remodelers, have no idea why anyone would invest in actually creating a home improvement marketing brand, and would rather put money into advertising…(and then wonder why they fail.)
