OUR
MISSION
I have been associated with
the siding & window business since the mid
70's. I understand the business and know the
problems that the home improvement contractor
faces.
IN THE MID 90's ..
I was introduced to
CYBERSPACE, like most of you I was confused &
felt inferior to kids who could access
information at the speed of light and I couldn't
turn the thing on!
I saw the hand writing on
the wall:
Learn the new technology or take back seat to
those progressive business people who will learn
to apply the latest technology.
I LEARNED THE WAYS ..
To use the computer, not
only to cut marketing costs but increase
productivity and give the consumer a choice. A
way for "On-Liners" to gather
information needed to find the best choices and
options.
THE TELEPHONE ..
Imagine ~ 50 - 60 years ago
~ there were people who refused to install a
telephone. Sounds pretty silly doesn't it? I'm 56
years of age, from the south and I can clearly
remember those who did not want a telephone in
their home or business.
Today it's the same mentality which refuses to
use the Internet in their business.
It's just a matter of time
and you will be forced to use this marvelous tool
or face tremendous decline. BE CAREFUL - DON'T BE
LEFT TOO FAR BEHIND!
MANY OF YOU THINK ..
The computer and the
"net" is a new-fangled-fad which is not
needed to run your business. I would suggest that
those of you who think this way are WRONG ~ same
as some people thought about the telephone.
Our schools teach our
children to use the computer in everyday life ~
and you think you have a choice?
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN ..
Consumers and contractors
will both benefit from this opportunity to meet
each other on the "net".
THE HOMEOWNER ..
Is better prepared to do
business when he/she knows the terminology and
how we charge for the improvements. The more the
homeowner understands, the better the results.
They can learn these things from this site.
As a matter of fact,
interested homeowners come here by the thousands
each month to gather information and find
contractors who can fill their needs.
Dealers & contractors
come here to see what is new and available to
them. As time goes by more & more
manufacturers of materials & accessories will
link from us.
CONTACT US ..
We want to introduce
homeowners to qualified contractors and/or
manufacturers who can fill their needs.

will identify our links when using search
engines.
www.side4less.com
www.buysellfind.net
www.sunrooms4less.com
www.siding4less.com
www.windows4less.net
I founded www.buysellfind.net in
March of 2000. We design, build & host
simple, yet effective web sites for small
business. BuySellFind
is the Parent Directory of Side
4 Less .
In addition we publish
internet directories for the state of Arkansas.
People who come to those sites are looking for
information about the state.
January 2001
I founded www.side4less.com
In order to accomplish the
following ..
1. Provide the consumer with
enough information to locate and communicate with
home improvement
professionals about
(possibly) their largest investment ~ their home!
To simply gather enough
information to feel comfortable about the
contractors they invite into their homes for an
interview.
Here at www.side4less.com
web site you can see how we measure
for siding & windows. How we price
and what you are charged for. Learn the siding nomenclature and language .
All of this can be found on
this very informative site so the homeowner can
communicate with the dealers or their
representatives. The better informed homeowner
will feel more qualified to make the decision to
improve their home.
2. Provide a source of low
cost sales contacts for the home improvement
contractor, therefore, passing these savings on
to the homeowner. When the homeowner is better
informed they will be able to do business much
quicker.
3. Build web sites for the
home improvement contractor at a very reasonable
cost. Therefore, the consumer will be able to
meet contractors on the internet and view their
achievements & credentials.
3. Host the contractor's web
sites at a very reasonable cost.
4. Provide free consultation
to those who need and want to enter Cyberspace
and learn how to greatly benefit from modern
technology.
Home Improvement
Manufacturers & Contractors
Makes no difference if you
have other links, you want this one in your
marketing effort. Check to see if you may
"LINK" from this very popular site to
your site.
If someone in your
organization tells you, "we're linked, we're
fine, we don't need them". In essence they
are saying "we've got all we need." You
should question their attitude. They simply don't
understand sales. (usually it's a relative)
You might ask them:
"Why don't we want thousands more interested
homeowners seeing our site each month -
regardless of other things we have going?"
If the answer they give you makes sense, I'll buy
your lunch.

following areas:
Home Improvement ( siding & windows )
Advertising and Internet

your site
We will publish your site on

phone or e-mail for consultation & help.
