I'm not sure if that's to me or the OP, I know I checked with the chamber, it's kinda of expensive to join, and I was confused as my local one isn't in the state or city where I do most my work so...
This is an interesting thread, I'm in a similar situation. I target purely business environments and also find it very hard to 'crack' the shell and get at the right people in the right way. I also...
I had a bad toner experience for my hp color laser. Bought some after market cartridges and they messed up the printer to the point of having off color lines all over the page. I don't print that...
Good points, I'm going to try that angle.
I'll make my first "point" ease and convenience then list money savings.
1) easy ordering: call or zip us an email, your toner is on the way! Or use our...
Some businesses that might work for, many have a purchasing agent at a certain location (many times not at the office or branch where the toner is) that does all ordering, and needs to authorize...
Seems like a simple problem to solve.
Sounds like they are getting the other toner due to convenience. As in, they probably have an account with Office Depot or whoever it is and they order all...
Got a question for you guys, bear with me, hoping to get real opinions on how you see what we offer and how to convince ppl to buy from us.
We are a local service and supply company for office...
I'm not necessarily bagging on the host. I'm not a fan of 1and1 but if it's working for you keep it. It's the tools that you are using to create your website. You're not limited to just what they...
Thanks guys, am fixing your points, for now this'll do till I can change hosts, thanks so very much!
Hey again,
Yes, I do understand, I will move eventually when I have the time and brain power to read up on SEO with the other sites, and actually go through that. I really do appreciate the advice...
Just trying to do the best I can with what I have at the moment, :)
I don't think that will help you. Since you don't have a designer's eye what you will end up trying to do is copy from a bunch of websites and make it look like frankenstein. 1&1 doesn't have the...
I just did a quick search of some local companies and unbelievably many are just as bad. Actually horrible. Is it an industry thing like real estate agents and dog breeders?
I did find a couple...
Interesting points! hey last question, can either of you post a couple links of sites that you think look right so I can at least see what makes a nice looking site? I'm really having trouble...
Yes, we are nit picking elements when the overall issue is the website as a whole. No, I do not think anyone would look on the site as favorable, credible or trustworthy and I don't think it will...
OK, well mine are big enough that I myself think it looks dorky, but if that's what's popular then I'll leave em big.
I'm really looking more for feedback on content, if it would make someone call...
starts off far better than the other and is at least workable to get up to speed. I'm not even sure if the other can be fixed. It goes wrong in a lot of different ways notwithstanding that it's a...
Thanks for checking again,
I saw the new update on the home page.. what screams at me now is that you put a whole paragraph of text and contact info in an image. Google can't use that precious...
The website in general looks home made, like you did not hire a designer to put it together. Do you think your audience (businesses) will be comfortable buying from you?
Many do, but need more,...
Thanks for the feedback, I will have to fix all that myself, no money for a designer.
But really appreciate knowing at least what to start on :)
Welcome, Ron!
You should come fix our printers at the office... they seem to never work. ugh! ha
Haha wish you guys were in my area, I'd live more business

Hi Folks,
(I had created this thread an hour ago, but I see it's gone for some reason?, thought I'd retry)
I was wondering if you guys could look at our 2 websites and give me feedback. Would...
Hey folks, wondering if you guys have a sec to click on our 2 sites and give me feedback on how it looks, how it strikes you etc. I do office machine service & repair and we sell toners, inks and...
