  1. Wow, you can tell you've spent a lot of time on this.. ha ha. Just bustin' your chops man. Procrastination is a disease affecting millions, and I happen to be a recipient. All joking aside, I'm interested in finding out how you marketed this service to the public. As a word of advice, go to Reference USA through the RSU Library database. Select business, not residential, and then pick custom. On the tab on the left you'll see options and find the 'sic and naics codes' button and select it. For each type of business you listed above type that in, and it will help you to locate the correct corresponding sic code. Then do the following for each business sic.

    Hit the geography button on the left tab. When you hit that, then it opens up and you pick 'radius.' Type in the zip code of your business, then select 50miles. It will give you every potential customer in that radius, which should be valuable to you. Hope this helps!

  3. Mr. Myers i think that you have done a wonderful job with this blog. This sounds like a good target market, once the company gets a new truck they might be able to market to companies further away.
