New
England Handpiece Repair
New
England Handpiece Repair found that
having a Web site was an easy and effective way to make themselves
known to new customers. According to N.E. Handpiece president
Jake Hellinger, "I found customers I didn't know I had."
New England Handpiece is a small company
with a very specialized product having nothing to do with
computers or communication, but they get great benefit from
having a presence on the Internet. They repair and recondition
the tools dentists use to clean your teeth. Historically,
they have received most new business through word-of-mouth
recommendations. Now they are getting new business from people
who discovered them through their web site.
Hellinger
sums up his experience with "The Internet is making me money."
Bobcat
of New Hampshire
In order to expand their market presence, Bobcat
of New Hampshire created a comprehensive Web site updated
regularly with equipment for sale. They quickly benefited
by increasing business for new equipment from New Hampshire
customers as well as expanding used equipment sales.
Owner
Jeff Blanchard knew that his business could be helped from
a presence on the Web, but was initially unsure if the cost
to create, host, and maintain a site would be worthwhile in
the face of uncertain additional revenues. His small business
did not need additional monthly burdens. But the results after
six months shows that the web site isn't costing his business,
rather it is paying dividends.
Their
experience is summed up by Bobcat's Business Manager, Grant
Dugan. "The value of the Web site is tremendous, and
we're very pleased with what it's doing for us. We're effectively
reaching customers for used equipment in Vermont and Maine."
WeatherEye
provides full site support including monitoring activity.
As Dugan comments," The amount and detail of information
are impressive, and it lets us know how effective we've been."
Bobcat
chose WeatherEye over alternatives because of their proven
track record, responsive service and local access in a traditional
New Hampshire home town environment.
