Exciting times for ShuBee.

Many high-dollar advertising agencies and Search Engine Optimizations (SEO) specialists will state that it’s normal to see little if any results for these efforts for about six months. The team at ShuBee can safely say they’ve shattered that myth…

Netcraft (www.netcraft.com) conducts an ongoing survey to track various web-related statistics – anything ranging from the number of active websites, new sites per month to the number of registered domain names. According to Netcraft’s numbers for August 2008, there are currently 176,748,506 registered websites (with 1.3 million sites added in August) (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html). Another company called Alexa (www.alexa.com) keeps track of a site’s overall ranking based on traffic, page views, unique visitors, etc.

"When we first brought our SEO campaign and web development in-house in April ’08, just six short months ago, ShuBee.com stood in the overall website rankings at a respectable 2.7+ million with a total of 165,719,150 registered websites (http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2008/04/index.html). Since then we’ve launched an extremely aggressive social networking campaign (make sure to look us up on Twitter, Facebook, Squidoo, LinkedIn.com, MerchantCircle.com, Orkut.com and others), organic Search Engine Optimization, a very successful Pay Per Click (PPC) campaign as well as expanding to several additional online marketplaces (you can now buy ShuBee products on Amazon.com, eBay.com, BizRate.com, Shopzilla.com and many other comparison shopping sites). We’ve also launched an intense link building campaign and several microsites to further promote the ShuBee brand (check out www.serviceindustrytips.com in your spare time)," states ShuBee Marketing Manager, Chris Hood.

Hood continues, "In the short time we’ve been actively promoting ShuBee.com, we’ve managed to increase our overall rank to 484,892 (http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/shubee.com)! In the past three months, we’ve seen our website’s ranking increase 801,485 positions. Our traffic has increased by 164% and our overall page views are up by 171%… I find that amazing."

ShuBee is the leading manufacturer for shoe covers, coveralls, carpet film, surface protection, safety gear and marketing materials for the residential service industries. These newly developed websites are divisions of ShuBee and were created to be used as resources to help service industry workers stand out in their fields. ShuBee is dedicated to helping service industry businesses grow by providing knowledge of the same techniques and products Stone used to grow his business, which started with just one man and one truck, into a multi-million dollar company.

ShuBee Customer Care Wear has designed a unique marketing concept of providing shoe covers, coveralls and floor protection that allows service companies to present a professional image and win more business. For years, ShuBee has helped services companies across the country by providing the products to help them grow.

Now, ShuBee has developed a new, innovative product line---Personalized Care Wear. Companies from manufacturers to service businesses can order custom logo shoe covers, coveralls, service mats, disposable floor protection and other products direct from ShuBee.

Over the past decade, wearing shoe covers has become the standard for service industries. By wearing personalized custom logo products many of the goals facing businesses in the service industry are achieved: company and brand loyalty, being noticed and remembered, presenting a professional image, increasing sales and ensuring repeat business.

“We were approached by a few of our clients for custom logo orders. Once we were able to fulfill their needs, these companies reported successes beyond their expectations,” company owner Steve Stone stated. “Our team at ShuBee saw an opportunity to provide a new facet to an existing market that helps set companies apart from their competition.”

And, ShuBee has the background to help service industries. The ShuBee staff knows their products increase sales because they used them at their own Plumbing and HVAC Company. In fact, they have taught service companies all over the nation how to increase sales and gain repeat customers.

“We found that all service industries, from plumbing, heating and air, pest control, and carpet cleaning to remodeling, real estate and construction have been able to prosper using ShuBee products. This new line of Personalized Care Wear will take these industries to the next level of customer service and branding.”

ShuBee Customer Care Wear has designed a unique marketing concept of providing shoe covers, coveralls and floor protection that allows service companies to present a professional image and win more business. Across the country service companies are learning they can win more jobs on the concept of presentation and professionalism.

And, ShuBee has the background to help owners of service industries. The ShuBee team knows their products increase sales because they used them at their own Plumbing and HVAC Company. In fact, they have taught service companies all over the nation how to increase sales and gain repeat customers.

“When our ad was left out of the yellow pages, we knew we had to find a new way to get, and keep, customers,” ShuBee owner Steve Stone said. “With the products we developed to set our company apart from the competition, we ended up with the best year in sales we’d ever had!”

That one advertising disaster turned into a blessing. By finding a better, and cheaper, way to get the phone ringing, Stone ended up growing and selling his business for $5.5 million. He then decided help other service companies break free from the “yellow pages” trap by starting ShuBee Customer Care Wear.

The article states, “upon arriving at a customer’s home in Wilton, N.Y., Stephen Rhoades, a Best Buy technician who works out of the store in Crossgates Mall in Albany, N.Y., put on ShuBee shoe covers.” The story continues to explain the company takes this extra step to reassure the customer that their employees are competent professionals as well as ensure no damage is done to the customer’s floor or carpet while on the job site.
