Perfect Painters

Hello, my name is Danny Escamilla. I'm with Perfect Painters. We're a commercial and residential paint company here in eastern Texas.

Our biggest marketing challenges before we signed up with Yodle was getting Perfect Painter's name out there, letting people know what we were capable of doing, big jobs, projects, just getting our name exposed. We had been burnt in the past, long-term agreements, very, very pricey with poor results.

Well the sales presentation that the Yodle associate had given me said there was options, suburbs, different areas where we can market towards. So we found a market in the Houston area and then we just went live with that one. Since then it's been working great with it.

I would say Yodle is responsible for about 80% of our productivity. The return on investment has been very good. They've also given us the tools such as the dashboard to filter calls, to see emails, just have customers on record so that we can follow up if we didn't close a deal.

The adversite has been very convenient. We are able to change content relatively quick, upload pictures quick to our website, and it also gives us a chance to show reviews, request reviews from our customers. In the past we relied on a customer to be linked with Google, and not everyone has a Gmail account so it limits us on getting a review. But that advert site it makes it easy for us to ask for a review and to be put on our website.

If I could give advice to an upcoming business that's hesitant about doing business with Yodle, I would tell them it's worth the try. It's short-term, it's affordable, gets your name on the map, they’re up with all the trends. In my eyes it’s a no brainer. It's second to none.

I foresee using Yodle in the future. So far it worked out very excellent. They've evolved with the trends. I think Yodle is the tool that we need to continue to go forward.
