Manufacturers (and distributors) supply materials to contractors, but this comes second, and we will tell you why.  Our goal is to have you adding value to whatever product or supply service you provide to contractors, and also give you availability to promote your materials to the homeowner during a decision making process.

The contractor is the center of the community platform.  The contractor uses MyOnlineToolbox to manage the entire life cycle of a remodeling job or service call.  From the contractor's perspective, MyOnlineToolbox is an Internet solution where they log in to a secure online application to help organize the daily operations of their business. It does what any business application should: maintain a contact database, schedule work, and create estimates and invoices and keep track of payments. But MyOnlineToolbox offere a collaborative component connecting contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, homeowners, realtors, and other professionals together.  

In 2008 DELL awarded MyOnlineToolbox a TOP 10 INNOVATOR.  In 2009 FORBES our company was awarded one of AMERICA'S MOST PROMISING BUSINESSES.  Most of our success come from seeing our industry going through a change and surrounding ourselves with business savvy, tech savvy contractors.

MyOnlineToolbox has created a custom program for manufacturers (and distributors) to offer a targeted branding experience and a more compelling return on investment. In addition to target advertising to get a customer and introduce product awareness is the availability for a more streamlined ordering experience.

It is common to strategically present advertisements within various social networking and informational websites but there still are unknown factors as to who the viewer actually is. 

MyOnlineToolbox targets the contractor directly within the business processes. 

It is important to note that our advertisements are strategic to not interupt the contractor during their day.  They are placed in target spots of the sign-up process, the application itself (such as the purchasing module for manufacturers and distributors) as well as within our periodic support updates.

In addition to connecting to contractors is the availability to connect with homeowners and ensure they ask contractors about your materials, or possibly order directly from you (if that is an option).

This is even more powerful of a target branding experience since the contractor is the person who created the content (and estimate for example) to be sent to a homeowner for review.  MyOnlineToolbox targets the contractor as well as the homeowner directly within the business processes. 

It is important to note that our advertisements are strategic to not interrupt the homeowner during the decision making process.  They are placed in target spots where the homeowner's eyes would naturally gravitate during the review of information.    

The platform is connected to the business cycle and the movement of information. For example, many contractors create estimates for homeowners on a piece of paper and just leave it on the homeowner’s kitchen table. Other times contractors have to go back to the office to accumulate various pieces of information to provide an estimate. Either way, follow-up usually relies on the homeowner calling back the contractor to review the information. The MyOnlineToolbox platform allows contractors to optionally run their business over the Internet and send electronic estimates, invoices and messages to the homeowner to review materials, prices and schedule dates. The going back and forth will take place within the platform and allows you to re-enforce your product awareness within the community interaction of multiple parties.

Benefit to contractors
It is most important to first be concerned about the benefit to contractors.  Why?  Becuase they are your target audience to create the content to get your marketing messages out to consumers.  The benefit to them is that MyOnlineToolbox is the most cost effective way to run their business with no on-going commitments. Contractors can run their business independently or in conjunction with others; it’s up to them. 

• Opportunity for jobs just by being visible in the community platform
• Mobile capability to collaborate, fax or email doc's from the pick-up truck
• Direct purchase of materials or services from anywhere on the road
• Estimates and invoices are completed faster and immediately deployed to those waiting for them

Benefit to the homeowner customers of contractors
Avoiding conflicts by having everything about a job online in a shared environment to ensure the materials, costs and scheduling are always agreed upon.

Homeowner can communicate with a contractor when it’s convenient for them.  Better business for contractors and easier decision making for homeowners means more business for you.

Benefit to service providers

Various factors go into what is the right relationship to form.  Please note that we have separated them to represent the targeting of the Contractor and the targeting of the Homeowner.  Some are interested in B-2-B, some are interested in B-2-C and others are interested in B-2-B-2-C, and if the latter then we suggest reviewing both links.  We encourage you to contact us by answering a few short questions in the Media Kit Contact Form section of the following link.
