All of us at AAA Indoor Air Quality & AAA Heating and Cooling are greatly honored and extremely proud to be chosen by ACCA in the "Best Contractors on the Web" competition. Prior to being nominated by ACCA in the 2004 competiton we were considering a Web site redesign, learning that we had been nominated, we decided to hold off on the site's redevelopment to see how our site faired. In the competiton we were nominated as a finalist and received a runner-up designation when all the votes were tallied. Pleased with results but not satisfied because of our competitive spirits, John Spezza, Gordon Spezza/Owners and Buck Sheppard Commercial/IAQ/Internet Technologies Manager pushed forward with our original plan to do a site redesign. |

"The caliber of entries was outstanding," commented Kevin Holland, ACCA Vice President for Communications, Membership & Corporate Development.

Competition as Motivator
They fired the first design firm and started from square one, this time with Kelly Burbank of Northwest Web Construction Company in Portland. "He's been a godsend to us," Sheppard said. The site is extremely successful. AAA uses a web monitoring service that tracks overall traffic on the site (an impressive 15,000-18,000 "hits" a month) and the length of stay at each page, a refinement that allows Sheppard to fine tune the site as needed. Sheppard thinks there are two primary reasons for the site's popularity. First, it's loaded with good information that's easy to get to. The navigation bar on the left is clear - consumers don't have to guess what to click on. Second, consumers control communication with the company. The "contact us" form takes less than a minute to fill out, and customers can make an appointment or just ask for more information. Sheppard checks the resulting e-mails every morning and forwards them to the appropriate sales or service manager for follow up - at the customer's convenience. "We can't think of a better, more cost-effective way to market than through the Internet," Sheppard said. "We consider it one of the wisest uses of our marketing dollars."
