First of two topics:
We’d like to welcome a new advertiser/sponsor to the MHProNews.com (MHMSM.com) family. AIA – American Insurance Alliance “is the largest insurer of parks, dealers, transporters and installers.” And much more! Learn more by clicking on AIA’s information here.
AIA joins other notable firms such as:
> ROC USA
> The 2012 Louisville Manufactured Housing Show
> another new sponsor’s page that is getting ready to go live
and still more!
We thank the support of these advertisers, sponsors, our web and other clients, which allows us to bring you all the best news, tips and views you can use. Please give them a call when you need their services! If you think about selling a community, need one of many possible types of insurance, want to offer digital services to residents that are paid for by a third party while paying community owners revenue (yeah, that’s Connexion!), or simply want to grow your business starting early in 2012, check these companies services linked above out.
Topic Two:
We are half way through the first week with our new, more modern, trade media format. We’ve had a few adjustments (mostly expected). There are more switches to turn on in the days ahead. Since we have thousands of pages online, more than any other news/industry trade information source, this was a HUGE move!
There are a number of good comments that have come in, a few tips on items that need attention. The bottom line is that the overwhelming majority like what they see with our new format. Your feedback is always appreciated, tony@mhmsm.com.
Besides being more ‘visual’ and easier to navigate all the different features we have, we will soon be rolling out our ‘directory’ function and new state or provincial blogs. After that will come our forums and still other new features.
The ideas here are many, yet simple.
We want to create the ‘bridges and roads’ that our industry DESPERATELY needs.
Try to imagine the U.S. over 200 years ago. Bridges and roads were few, and often less than grand. Ferry’s were needed in many places, where bridges stand today. Without good roads and transportation, business is hindered. It takes longer to get things done. It costs more to get things done.
But with good roads, bridges and transpiration, business is accelerated. Costs decline.
In the digital age, we need MHIndustry digital connections that can bridge the gap that brings professionals rapidly together. Communications and connections take place online today, and this is where almost ANY business in the 21st century that wants to thrive must be.
We get calls and emails from people who are looking for:
- A factory that builds x
- Communities to purchase (or sell)
- A lender or supplier that does x
- How to contact other Industry companies in a state or region.
- And the list goes on.
Why do we get such calls at all? Simple. They don’t know how to find what they want, but YOUR company may offer what they want, or some company that has a service that YOU need can’t find you.
We need an easier way for YOU to find others doing business in our Industry and a better way for you to BE FOUND.
We are big believers in trade shows, and do shows and events ourselves. But what about between shows? What about the people that didn’t make it to an event?
Our upcoming factory built housing Business Directories Service will make that dirt cheap (should I say digitally inexpensive?) and easy to do. Where Industry Business Get’s Done! ©
Amidst the gloom and doom some feel, the biggest names in our industry keep positioning themselves and investing for the future. We showcase periodic stories of companies doing well or expanding, when in the same state, someone else is closing.
- Your state of mind (attitude, approach, etc.)
- Your willingness to be open to new and better ways
- Your willingness to invest in yourself and your company
- The wisest use of your time, talent and treasure
Are what will place you in the ranks of the success stories 10 years from now, or in the also rans.
Because you are reading this, I’m trusting you are and want to be in the rank of the present or future success stories.
Knowledge is POTENTIAL power.
Tap into facts and information, the news, tips and views you can use. Increasingly over time, people will say, ‘This is Where Manufactured Housing Industry Business Gets Done ©.
Our new November articles are coming! Thanks for being here, for getting our emailed news updates and telling your friends and colleagues to do so. Together, we can raise the water for all the boats in this grand digital sea we call MHProNews.com. # #
