Always a Great Day for Fort Wayne Business

July 26, 2010 Verizon SuperYellowPages Helps Owner Drive Company from Eighth to First in Home Improvement FORT WAYNE, Ind. – You will hear it every time you call – – It’s a great day at Windows, Doors & More. “It takes some people aback,” said Kevin Hunter, owner of Windows, Doors & More. “We live in a world where the negatives take center stage that ‘it’s a great day’ shocks some people. The reality is, it is a great day for us, our company continues to grow and we all love what we do.” That wasn’t always the case for Hunter. When he took over the company in 2000, Windows, Doors & More was struggling. According to Hunter, it was in eighth position within the home improvement category in Fort Wayne, in desperate need of penetration. He had joined Home Guard, the manufacturing division of the company, in 1989 and helped grow the division by 700 percent over the span of 10 years by selling the product all over the country. “I was tired of traveling and telling our clients how to become successful,” Hunter recalled. “There was an opportunity literally in my back yard and I took it.” First thing Hunter did was increase the size of his Verizon® SuperYellowPages ad from about dollar bill size to a full page color ad. “We saw immediate results and started to really build momentum,” Hunter said. “In 2000 we had about three people installing for us. Today, I have a team of about 50 and we are in homes every day. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the Verizon SuperYellowPages.” In 2009, SuperMedia – the advertising agency for local small- to medium-sized businesses across the United States and publisher of the Verizon SuperYellowPages – introduced a consumer service satisfaction guarantee – the SuperGuarantee® program. Hunter embraced the idea. “Now that we are number one in the market we have a target on our shirt,” Hunter said. The SuperGuarantee let’s consumers know that a big gun is going to step-in if we don’t do the right thing. While I’m happy to say we have not had an incident, I know the SuperGuarantee differentiation is helping us.” When a consumer sees a business with the SuperGuarantee, they’ll get the job done right – or SuperMedia will step in and make it right. SuperMedia will work to resolve any issues or, if unable to resolve the issue, will reimburse the consumer up to $500 of the cost of labor for the service.1 SuperMedia’s SuperGuarantee. The 2010 Verizon SuperYellowPages features the SuperGuarantee program and a new, easy-to-read font size. While other Yellow Pages haven’t changed their product in decades, SuperMedia has evolved and offers consumers the confidence they need in choosing a service provider. “I’m getting to the point now with my eyes that it is not so easy to read small print,” Hunter, who is 45 years old, said. “It can only help me to be in a book that can be read and used easily.” No wonder it’s a great day. Hunter’s hard work and relationship with SuperMedia has opened new doors and established his company as a leader in Fort Wayne.
