After doing over 120 screen enclosures in 2025, through only word of mouth, we decided to expand. So, we considered advertising. We had a decision to make; give $10,000 to a large marketing agency or allow the community to use their connections to earn by referring us new business. This may fail, but it has the best intensions. Lets see if the community accepts it or doesn’t show interest. We hope to award the person who refers it the most business with $10,000 + $250 per referral. I love a good competition, do you? #flop or #brilliant
