Not
All Backflow Preventers Are the
Same
Choosing Wilkins is a
Wise Long Term Decision
 Don't assume all backflows
are the same. Some manufacturers designs
do not lend themselves to simple in-line
repair. The encourage you to replace
rather than repair, adding to the stability of
their business model, but not
yours.
Wilkins backflow products are designed to provide lowest
life-cycle costs by offering:
- Easy to perform maintenance and repair,
resulting in lowest labor costs.
- Low-cost repair
kits.
Once
you consider the costs to test, clean and repair
over the life cycle of a backflow preventer, Wilkins is in a class by
itself.
Wilkins offers proven designs with consistent
results, simplified maintenance, shorter
lay-lengths and repair kits costing
significantly
less.

Seven
Seconds To Your Next
Buyer
Today's buyers
are checking your web site for your
credentials. How do you
appear?
 It's no secret that today's
customers are viewing your web site before they
call your company. They want to see if you
are qualified and credible before they contact
you.
So how do you make sure
you are creating the right
impression?
According to industry
consultant Jeff Carowitz, the seven second rule
in web site design says your web site must
capture a customer's attention on the main
landing page within seven seconds, or the
customer will move on to investigate other web
sites.
Some tips to optimize your web
site for the seven second rule:
- Capture the customer's attention by
appealing directly to their needs (e.g. the
beautiful landscape you've always wanted), don't
just brag about yourself.
- Use eye-catching graphics, but avoid
annoying movies that keep customers from getting
to real information.
- Make sure your navigation system makes it
easy to find information.
- Offer a photo gallery of past projects to
showcase your work and provide ideas.
- Give them a reason to contact you. Provide a
direct link to your feedback form so potential
clients can get information
fast.
