Add FumigationFacts.com to your sales team

FumigationFacts.com is a website that can be put to work helping you educate and sell more fumigations with Vikane^® gas fumigant. Check out how some fumigators and termite companies are using FumigationFacts.com to benefit their businesses and customers:

More homes properly prepared

The FumigationFacts website has the information needed to help fumigations go smoothly. When we meet with a customer to sign them up for a fumigation, we give them a PDF version of the website information that they can refer to. It tells them how to prepare, and we are seeing more jobs where they have bagged the correct items, done the necessary landscape work and haven’t left doors locked — all those little things people commonly miss or forget. Our paperwork has a link to the website so they can view it later.

The website also helps to reduce questions and calls to the office both before and after the fumigation. They have a better understanding on what the process entails and there aren’t surprises. When they do still need to call, it helps them ask the right questions because there are a lot of nuances with a fumigation.

Added it to our company website

Our website serves as a virtual receptionist. People are in a hurry to find the information they want, so we want the website to be easy to navigate. We are in an area of high infestations for drywood termites, so fumigation is pretty common. But there continues to be a percentage of the population that would like to avoid the inconvenience of fumigation. We really like FumigationFacts.com because it addresses a lot of the misconceptions. It’s interactive and allows people to navigate through it at their own pace.

We have FumigationFacts on our tablets and smartphones, and we have incorporated it on our website. It has a very good plug-in that doesn’t jeopardize our website or slow it down. We invest time and money to constantly monitor and adjust our website for higher search engine optimization ranking. We are always looking to add content that benefits our customers. We use Vikane for drywood termites and bedbugs, so why wouldn’t we add FumigationFacts to our website?

Information is in understandable language

We use the FumigationFacts website on our iPads, especially with multifamily clients. The website is very convenient, having everything in one place, including checklists. In the past you had the information, but it was all in different locations. With this website you can provide the information and go over the requirements, and after the meeting they can go look at it themselves. It makes the meetings quicker and more effective.

Sometimes the termite company asks you to come along with them for a sales meeting or board meeting. With this website we can go to one location and hit on all those very important points of interest. You can show them what the preparation requirements are and alternative treatments and give them printed versions of the forms. The best thing is that the website uses terms that homeowners can understand. It’s easier to understand. And that makes it a great tool for termite companies and fumigators.

Use it before and after the sale

We use FumigationFacts.com before and after the sale. Before the sale it helps the customer understand fumigation. Sometimes when you recommend a fumigation there is a desire by the homeowner to do something less. The website helps educate them about drywood termites and that a whole-house fumigation is the only sure solution. The website helps us make the sale and helps the homeowner get the solution they really need. After the sale, during the fumigation planning process, we will direct the homeowner back to the website to help answer any of their follow-up questions about preparation and what to expect during the process.”
