Contractors Concerned About 2011

And their concern is essentially that they expect 2011 to be comparable to be 2010.

As many in the industry know, those in the industrial space or focused in energy efficiency were relatively more successful in 2010 than commercially-oriented or residentially-oriented companies.  Contractors have been further impacted by excess labor capacity (too many companies seeking the same projects).

This fall, Channel Marketing Group and Allen Ray Associates conducted our 2011 Contractor Insights Research Report.  The research was conducted via an e-survey and hundreds of contractor interviews.  The 50 page report shares:

• 2011 sales and hiring expectations
• where contractors see opportunities in 2011
• accelerating energy efficiency, renewable and LED trends
• how contractors are evaluating distributors
• the growing importance of smartphones and other electronic interactions
• in contractor quotes, a number of niche areas throughout the country
• and much more.

The report costs only $179 and can verify your impressions and/or potentially identify new opportunities.

The report is available in the Research section where you can pay online and the report will be sent to you within 24-48 hours or you can email us to be invoiced.
