My Top Posts for May 2013

Home Builder with The Flooring Girl

Here's a look back at my top blog posts from May 2013, sorted according to clicks.

 

top flooring posts for MayHardwood with dark pet stains – Can you get rid of them?

This is a key question homeowners have, since it's a very common issue.  It looks like it has real staying power as it continues to grow.  Right now, it has about 1,500 hits.

 

That laptop sticker did it again!

Yes, and even since the writing of this post, it's led to a couple more leads.

 

When you're hot and tired, you make mistakes

We ended up winning this job from this super nice customer, and her floors came out great.  She is so excited and I think has become a raving fan.  Very happy about how this estimation mistake may actually lead to a lot more biz in the future.  Now, I need to follow up w/ the real estate agent.

 

Sisal Carpeting - What is it?

This has become more and more popular, and after I wrote this post, I sent the link to a customer of mine, and then closed the sale a few days later.  Sweet.

 

Quick tip of the day - Optimize title; avoid contest words

If you care about your posts ranking well in google, check this out.

 

Customers do come back...if you stay top of mind

It's always nice to have those blasts from the past who call you back much later.  Whether it's from 6 months ago or 4-5 yrs ago, it's always a great feeling.

 

Feel free to look back at your top performers for the month and search & reapply this idea.

Ginny - That stinks.  Maybe they can give a credit for it. It's too bad since they would get their money back 2-3 fold and sell the house faster, if they could spend a bit of money.
