Hey guys,

I've been checking out this forum for a while now so I thought I'd actually register and start this thread. Anyone know of a great marketing site for contractors and/or a place to find discounted equipment and materials? Yeah, I'm aware of Ebay and Craigs but I'm wondering if there is anything better specifically for folks like us.

We actually haven't used the web to promote our Geothermal and Energy Star businesses - other than being members of RESNET and ENERGY STAR.  You'd be surprised by how many leads come directly from professional organizations such as those.

Also, I know there are two big players in online contracting lead generation, Service Magic and Reliable Remodeler.  They cover most categories.  We've used them as a consumer on the quotation side, but not on the other side, so we can't really speak to the cost and/or quality of the leads.

Hope that helps.  Would love to hear other's thoughts as well.  This is often one of the biggest challenges for small businesses.
