Bay Area Custom Garages
Industry: Construction
Member Since: October 2004

This is a fabulous business opportunity.”

Gary Martin, owner of Custom Garages, joined BizXchange in October 2004 to increase his market share without spending much cash. “It is an avenue to reach new customers that I would not normally have reached,” said Martin.

Since becoming a member of the BizX network, Custom Garages has gained thousands of dollars in new sales by filling downtime and selling slow-moving inventory to new consumer markets.

Martin has used those new sales to pay for business expenses, including automotive repair, outdoor advertising and sign maintenance, but the purchases he appreciates most are personal indulgences. “I spend it on vacations that I would not normally take,” said Martin.

In addition to a vacation to Costa Rica, Martin has paid for other personal items with BizX, such as sporting events, concerts, limousine rentals and meals.

“This is a fabulous business opportunity to reach client markets that I would have otherwise not reached, and a great way to pay for business expenses.” Martin added, “My Account Executive helps to keep me informed about the things that matter to me. It’s a business relationship that I value.”
