Back in March of 2012, we surveyed contractors on Social Media. Below is the result from one of the questions we asked...
 

Which social networking sites does your business have an account with?

By far, contractors use Facebook more than any other social networking tool, being used by 83.3% of contracting businesses surveyed. LinkedIn and Twitter are a close second and third with 27.7% and 26.8% respectively. Only 10.7% of contractors use no social media at all. Contracting businesses use social media in roughly the same amount as the general population with the notable exception of Twitter and LinkedIn; 28.5% of Americans use Twitter at least once a month compared to only 18.3% that use LinkedIn.

on Digital Branding
 

From pay per click advertising and SEO to digital assets and social media, digital branding and online marketing can have a substantial impact with your customer base, yet it can prove daunting due to a lack of familiarity, time or resources. This month we are asking our network of contractors all about digital branding, to get an idea of what’s working in the industry and what isn’t.

Take this month's survey, on Digital Branding, and be entered for a chance to win a $100 Visa or Mastercard Gift Card.

Industry Leading Financing Available for Contractors
 
At EGIA, we have found that the most successful contractors throughout the country all have one major thing in common: they offer financing options with every sale. Yet it can be confusing weaving your way through all the financing solutions in the marketplace, and costly to pick the wrong one for your company. Our GEOSmart Financing Clearinghouse solves that problem. EGIA will clear the way and help you pick the right program for your business. We have done the research, vetted the leading finance service offerings, and leveraged our national buying power to secure the best financing solutions for our EGIA members.
