BlogWorld Expo #2

For those of you who came here to read and comment about landscaping/hardscaping issues, please see the many posts below and bear with me for a couple more posts on BlogWorld.  It was pretty great and worth the few comments below.  Those who know nothing about BlogWorld Expo, go there to learn more.

 

I’m driving back to McMinnville, Oregon from the BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas, towing our MixKing concrete mixing trailer.  I am visiting a few customers on the way so won’t be back for two more days to really comment or properly thank all the folks at the Expo who were so helpful and friendly to Bruce and to me.

 

Bruce flew back (since he drove the unit down all 1100 miles).  Today he has sent out notes to many people.  The gist of his message and mine is, “Thank you.”

 

Thanks for starting to inform us about the world of blogging and the universe of social and new media.

 

Thanks for showing us a glimpse of the amazing power and potential of these new (to us) means of communication.

 

Thanks for tutoring us and give us great tips on what to do to maximize the effectiveness of our blogs and websites.

 

Thanks for being such a friendly and open community.  To a person, the folks we met were helpful, interested and interesting.

 

We have already seen a number of posts that include photos, videos and nice stories about Cart-Away Concrete Systems and our Cart-Away Supply offering.  Now we have to decide how we are going to measure the effects of this marketing effort.  If you have any suggestions, let us know.

 

Comments are appreciated.

Below is Marty Frahncke, who was the second person to blog us at the Expo.

I am very impressed!! What a way to advertise, not being afraid to try something very opposite normal can mean success.
I wish you all the luck! Great job!

Tim,

Fresno is one of our key targets for a franchise. We are now looking for a franchisee who wants to own and run a Cart-Away Supply store. If you know of anyone looking to own a business, pass on the information.

Thanks for your interest.

Tom

When I first saw you on "Built on a Woman," I had MIXED feelings, but after reading your story I realize that you are SOLID guys. Okay, enough concrete jokes. I really admire what you're doing. Best of luck.
