COVER STORY | ADVERTORIAL
Easy to remember
Would you rather have your customers remember a 10-digit number or a simple , toll-free number that resonates with your company name ? We have toll-free numbers to choose from , all related to asphalt , pavement , sealcoat , concrete , blacktop and striping . Collectively we generated over 50,000 calls in 2020 -- that ’ s 50,000 leads for all our members . You will own the exclusive rights to the toll-free number of your choosing . That means you can put that number on your trucks , job signs , billboards , and any marketing material you want to use . By joining the 800 PAVEMENT Network you get a point of contact that your customers see and easily remember . They do not need to write it down ; they simply remember 1-800-ASPHALT ( or 1-800-BLACK- TOP ) and think of you every time they need work done . Perhaps best of all , it ’ s affordable ; Only one call can pay for the entire year ! Not only does this number offer your customers the ability to remember you -- using a memorable vanity phone number gives you a competitive edge and separates you from your competition instantly ! But a bottom line-altering phone number isn ’ t all you ’ ll get from membership in the 800 PAVEMENT network . Instead , you can count on a
business development relationship with our national sales team , nationwide support and exclusive access to equipment and goods . In other words , we ’ ll help you get more work , and give you access to the tools you need to knock it out of the park .
Vendor Discounts
The 800 PAVEMENT Network has partnered with some of the industry-leading providers of both products and services . We have companies like SealMaster , General Motors , TRUX , Sunbelt Rentals , Sherwin Williams , Pavement Soft , and 10 other vendors that offer huge savings to all network members . Many of our vendors have had a lot of success with our network members because of the buying power we bring to the table . Collectively , we sold more than 16 million gallons of sealcoat , 4 million gallons of traffic paint , and topped 20,000 pallets of crack sealer in 2019 . That productivity made SealMaster the perfect partner as it offers up to 0.5 % in rebates on all purchases made through the Seal- Master catalog . Those can mean huge savings for you ! Thanks to a deep fleet of trucks ( collectively , our network has more than 4,500 ), membership also comes with significant discounts from General Motors and TRUX . Our network is growing each year , and we continue to bring on more partners and build a stronger community . These are savings that not only help you pay for the network membership , but also add to your bottom line .
