[pianotech] Web Site Usefullness

[Kerry]

Nice looking site, James. One question: do you find that mixing your two
different (although somewhat related) businesses is beneficial to one or
both? I've always tried to separate my piano service and performance sites
because I didn't want to confuse potential customers or appear less than
committed to one business but I wonder if you've found that there's some
synergy there for the two.

 Patrick,

It can't hurt.  Talk to Tremaine Parsons.  It's really cheap and will give 
lots more people access to your services.  I find lots of people contact me 
because I have a website (and also because of the PTG site).  It's a far 
better investment than yellow page ads.  Check mine out at dstahlpiano.net. 
I don't sell anything, just try to educate customers and give them a way to 
contact me.

Good day all: I am considering putting up a web site, but just wonder how
much of a result other PTG members have had with theirs. I offer the
standard tuning and repair services, no refinishing, sales, or moving, and
am in a semi-rural area with a smallish population  60 miles from the state
capitol, Sacramento.

Thanks,
