Today marks the un official birth of Apple Painting Company.
Doing as many rehabs as weve done, weve had the pleasure of building quite a network of highly skilled painters. These guys are expensive but well worth it. And the more houses we rehabbed the more refferals we would get for painting. It seemed like a natural progression to starting a painting company.
Its a big business and we figure there is a need for highly skilled painting. We wont be the cheapest painters in Columbus, because thats not our market. We intend to fill that niche for a large professional company that handles high end residential and commercial painting. The kind of company that is known for near perfection. Our goal is to be the most referred company in town.
We officially launch next week, but some ads accidentally appeared today and sped up the launch. We actually sold our first deal today. The lead was not from the ad, It was a refferal from a good friend. Word of mouth marketing is the best.
Youll be seeing us around town in the next few weeks. I plan on putting some of my REI guerrilla marketing techniques to use.
Check out our site (Keep in mind the website is a work in progress.) http://www.ApplePaintPros.com My good friend Todd Santoro designed the site. Thanks Todd - your the best. Please give me your feedback. Do you like it? Hate it?
Thanks in advance, and wish us luck.

Thanks for all the great comments. I really appreciate it.
Be wealthy - Thanks for the suggestions, We made some changes based on your feedback. I also loved the idea about the "how to" section. I will implement that when I get the time.
Soldier, Vitaliy, Creativeguy, Johnboy, Beharry - Thanks for the compliments. I really appreciate it. We worked hard on this site and its nice to hear your feedback. I value all your opinions.
Thanks again,

Awesome Site! You have done a really great job on it and the gallery is fantastic.
Go Get 'Em
Sorry I forgot to mention another suggestion. I would recommend putting in a "how to" section on tips on how to paint, choose colors, what type of paint is best to use for interior, exterior.
This gives your visitors a more sense that you know what you are talking about and you are even willing to teach them not only try to get their business. Then they can even refer you better.
They can tell others that are trying to paint "why dont you check this site... they have good tips on painting....". They may end up purchasing your services.
Try it out and I can guarentee you will get more visitors, referrals, and business.
Always remember provide more to others than your competitors and they will come to you.
I suggest changing the color of the wording to a lighter color than gray. I can read it but others may not.
For instant I didnt realize the wording right below the main menu that said "Interior / Exterior Specialists | 5 Year Warranty | Call now for a free estimate 614.722.7272"
If you want to keep it gray I suggest using the gray that you used for the address, warrenty, tos, etc at the bottom of the site.
