One of the best parts of my job is getting a chance to talk with local business owners about how Encharter Insurance is helping them grow their business. I recently got a chance to sit with Gary Brunelle, President of Ace Fire and Water Restoration. Gary is a recent addition to the Encharter family having become an Encharter Partner within the last few months.
Gary first met Encharter as a result of a telephone call from Ben Beauchaine, Sales Executive for Encharter. Ben invited Ace to our social media event in Amherst, MA, where social media techniques were explained. At the event, Gary heard about Encharter Partner’s Program – under the program, Encharter allows members of the local business community to advertise their business on Encharter’s web-site. This gives them instant access to Encharter’s 16,000+ clients and helps them increase their SEO through “back-linking”.
In addition to the partners program, Gary, Amy, & Lisa from Ace had the opportunity to sit with David Siekman, one of Encharter’s Social Media Engineers to learn more about blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Local Maps, SEO and YouTube and how these tools could be used to help attract more clients. What was a surprise to me, was the success that Gary has had as a result of Partnering with Encharter. “We were getting about a 100 hits per week, which I thought was fair. But today’s count was 351 and that is just in a month time” said Gary. “I equate that to what we have done with Encharter”
Wow!! Over a 300% increase in weekly web-traffic! That is good for any business and Gary was thrilled with the result. “Our business isn’t easy and I appreciate being able to team up with Encharter to help both our firms grow” Gary shared with me off camera.
Encharter Insurance couldn’t be more pleased. We are helping a local business grow and as a result we are able to add a new client to the Encharter family. So welcome Gary. If you can achieve a 300% increase in a month, I am looking forward to seeing what the upcoming year will bring.
