Deck Expert Endorses Depiction Software's Imaging Software as best software to buy that will increase your decorative coating business.

Having been sold on this software by the graciousness and care shown me by Diane Squire at World of Concrete, despite a horde of people clustering around, that and a 30 day money back guarantee...cause I'm thinking, like at most shows where I buy something that looks slick and will make me money, I am many times disappointed.

Not so with this software. I had to learn it and you will too, but learn it and work it and watch as maybe's and we'll get back to ya's become a thing of the past. Never mind lugging samples around of stuff that customers don't want to see.

Simply take out your digital camera (you do have one right?) take a picture or two of your customers project, then load the pictures into the software. In a few minutes, you can have sample images up on your screen of what the clients project will look like with a new finish on it. Thousands of images are available and you can add your own. Amazing...and so easy too.

As your clients get excited about what they're seeing, your asking the closing questions that gets you to take a contract and print it out on your HP portable printer, because you'll need to be ready to print out a contract with this software in your arsenal.

Buy this software and you'll leave your competitor in a workshop, making samples, while your closing their customer...or the next competitor will close them with Depiction Software. CLICK OUR HEADLINE TO GO TO DEPICTION'S WEBSITE

Waterproofdeckcoatingadvice.com's vistors hits new high!

Here's some stats from our web stat's

Continuing to prove it's worth, our website last month shattered the record number of visitors we got in March (3390 visits) and April's high of 3957 visitors by 291 visitors, to reach 4248 visitors!

While most are still visiting us with common key words and search phrases, I always like to look and see what uncommon searches led a visitor to us. Someone wanted to know "what kind of cement does Desert Crete use?" to find us. Someone else was looking for deck coating seminars.

Web searches always look for someone to install decking, someone was looking for Pli-Dek installers last month, another was looking for Dex-O-Tex at Home Depot.

Strange requests that led to a visit included "waterproofing a wine barrel". I can't tell you how to waterproof it, but I'll empty it for you...another searcher was looking for suntan lotion information and became so engrossed with our website they forgot about suntan lotion!

Someone else is looking to open a deck coating business, they wanted to know "how to run a successful deck coating business".

Seems someone always wants to know about problems on decks too; due diligence is recommended and we have the information to do it with...one wanted to know about urethane disadvantages and another wanted to know about Westcoat ALX performance. Another searcher wanted to know if Magnesite had asbestos in it. Answer is yes, up through the 60's and 70's Magnesite was made with asbestos...take all proper precautions!

Well I hope in filling your head with these trivial stats, we didn't remove anything of real value!

Construct2008 Just Around the Corner...June 3-6th in Las Vegas

Wow sometimes things are happening so fast I miss something big...and this is BIG!
Architects, specifiers, Contractors, Facility managers and many more come see all the big boys at the show...and the big boys are the only ones here at this one that I see.
Dex-O-Tex, Pac-Poly, Mer-Kote, Tremco, Polycoat, WR Meadows, DuraDek and Lonseal have come to play, stepping up with the big fees that it takes to get an exhibit space-$3,000 for space alone! on a 10' x 10' booth, and looking at the floor plan, some of these guys have stepped up to a whole level beyond that.
Why? Because these guys and gals attending are the money baby! They'll be the ones who see these companies here, and start specifying and using their products...instead of those products that aren't represented here.
If your in the trades, you should be there too.
