More about the company
- The company provides advertising campaigns, logos and brand
identity, consulting and websites for the independent auto repair
shop.
- The qualifications are proven results in a real world auto
repair shop.
- Years of trials and error helped to shape the success ingredients
for advertising and marketing for the independent auto repair shop.
- Patrick has many contacts nationwide that own
auto repair shops. Many shop owners he spoke with had begun to turn their back on
advertising all together because it didn't work well. They spent too much and produced
too little results. However, Patrick's shop wasn't having the same lack of
success, his marketing was working. He shared some of his tips
with other shop owners and it helped them produce better results.
- The problem was that each shop owner had to hire their own local
graphic/marketing company to produce the work. The difficulty
with that was these designers were largely unfamiliar with the
successful ingredients that make advertising and marketing work FOR
THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP.
- That's where the need for a better solution was created.
Patrick decided to become the source for auto repair shops
marketing and advertising projects.
