“If you’re not with BizXchange you’re losing a great business opportunity.”
Established in 1994, Beacon Plumbing has grown substantially every year since its inception and attributes its success to doing business in a creative way and to the advertising it has been able to do on BizX.
Beacon Plumbing & Mechanical became a BizXchange Member in April 2003. Beacon’s owner, Bill Cahill, was attracted to the idea of using his company’s services to pay for advertising and marketing materials to increase Beacon’s cash business.
Since joining BizXchange, Beacon Plumbing has filled thousands of hours of downtime with new business. Because of this new business, Cahill used BizX to purchase the full back page of the Verizon Yellow Pages Book, bus boards and radio advertising. Beacon Plumbing has also used BizX to pay for employee incentives, awards and dining at many Seattle restaurants.
BizXchange has allowed Beacon to be more aggressive with its advertising, which in turn has helped attract more cash business. “It’s because of this that Beacon Plumbing was able to open up in the Tacoma market,” said Cahill. He elaborates, “Those who don’t understand trade and its benefits don’t know how to do business. Barter will always be there. If you’re not with BizXchange you’re losing a great business opportunity.”
