“Our first campaign reached $60,041.98! That's a huge percentage of our annual sales! You don't pick the peach orchard just one time. Different peaches ripen every day. Thanks for encouraging us to keep after it!”
Eric
“15 requests for quotes and closed and/or completed $23,000 of work and I still have a few more to do. Conservatively this campaign will net $25,000 in found money in the first 45 days! Thanks Brandon!”
Torlando
“This year has been the biggest year of growth for us. We're double where we were last year. I realized the real money in this business is in the marketing of the services - not the doing of the services.”

How do I Get pro painter Mag,
Richard, I think that publication may be in transition for re-launch, but I’ll tell you I haven’t seen any significant difference in tactics and strategies that work in Canada and those that work in the states. Are you looking for something “Canada-Specific?” If so, why?
Looking for information on commercial paint contractors purchase habits, pain points, channel usage. Where might I find that? Thanks so much!
Nowhere laying around for free I’d imagine. You’ll have to do your research directly or work with someone who’s marketed to this vertical for a long time. Best of luck!
