BehrPro introduces Web Enabled Business model

Behr Process Corporation launched of BehrPro Web Enabled Business (WEB), a free service that allows pre-qualified professionals to create a customized website to more effectively market their business. BehrPro professional customers can access easy-to-use templates to build a custom website with no design or hosting fees, enabling them to promote services and completed project images to potential customers.

Pros can begin building their website by invitation only. After entering a company name to populate a hosted URL, users will be prompted to select a template that can be customized with their business images and branding assets, such as a logo. Pros will then be taken through sections to populate, including services, testimonials, company info, contact info and an image gallery to modify text and imagery to their preferences. Once the template is final, the pro completes the process by publishing it for public viewing. When live, the website will serve as the pro’s official website. A video providing an overview of the program can be found at www.behrpro.com/webvideo.

Professionals interested in signing up for BehrPro WEB can find more information at the BehrPro Experience Tour, stopping at The Home Depot in cities across the U.S. through November to showcase cost effective and time efficient solutions for professional painters, contractors and remodelers; or by contacting their BehrPro Representative at 1-877-776-3961.
