That is exactly what George Blanco, with L&W Supply in Ripon, CA, is doing. George puts together and sends out a newsletter 4-6 times a year to keep in touch with his customers. This is a great way for George to interact and communicate with his customers as well as update them on any news changes, additions, events, etc. Great job to George for finding a fun and informative way to keep in touch with his customers.

TerraNeo ®
 Dryvit's TerraNeo finish is beneficial in many ways. For example, TerraNeo has visual appeal that creates an attractive, unique and expensive appearance for building exteriors. TerraNeo has variety that can be custom blended to match any design. TerraNeo is readily available, with suppliers in 120 locations in North America. When used in an outsulation system it provides an energy efficient cladding solution, which can reduce heating and cooling costs for the life of the building. Last, but not least, TerraNeo can reduce the total construction and shipping cost because it is 1/35th the weight of granite. Click here to read about more of the great benefits of TerraNeo. |
