The Long Island water that comes out of our faucets originates far below the earth’s surface, in deep interconnected underground layers of sand, gravel and silt called aquifers. The water they contain consists entirely of what originated as rain that seeped slowly downward for hundreds or even thousands of years The plentiful aquifers contain about

While water conservation continues to be top of mind in the drought-stricken West, responsible water use is an issue that everyone needs to think about, regardless of geographical location.

Way back in 2010, I wrote one of the irrigation industry’s first how-to guides for Google pay-per-click advertising. I didn’t predict then that it would become such an important advertising tool! A huge number of companies, including your competitors, have tapped into the incredible benefits of paid search. If you’re not familiar with pay-per-click, a

As we enter the doldrums of winter, the thoughts of green lawns and lush landscaping are just a memory at this time. This now provides water suppliers much need time to plan perform facility maintenance to prepare for the peak spring and summer water pumping season. The warm weather months will increase our outdoor activities

If you are in a water-related business on Long Island, there is a lot you should know about groundwater. Here is a thumbnail overview of key information about water use and the aquifer system that provides all Long Island’s water. What is an aquifer? It is a geological formation (sand and gravel on Long Island)

Many small-business owners have discovered the benefits of on-line Facebook advertising to reach new customers. If you have mastered pay-per-click advertising and are looking for other venues to promote your small business on-line, consider a targeted advertising program on Facebook. Like pay-per-click, it’s easy to make mistakes in configuring a Facebook ad program. The better

When business is good, you can have more job leads than you have time to work on them. In many contracting businesses, a full 40 percent of sales leads are never followed up on by a salesperson. And when there is follow up, it often comes too late to make the sale. Often I hear

Studies Show That Many Irrigation Systems Can Waste 50% of the water used on the landscape. Here are some water saving tips for reducing that waste: Install a functional rain sensor The rain sensor must be installed in a location to receive the maximum amount of rainfall. It cannot be installed 5 feet off the ground, under an overhang

Smart irrigation controllers have been around for a while, and they can greatly reduce water bills and consumption by responding to changes in the weather automatically. Recently, there has been a proliferation of different types, from models with historical weather information to controllers that communicate wirelessly to a weather sensor installed on site, all the

“I don’t need more work. I need more employees to help me get it all done.” That’s a quote I am hearing more often from business owners who are enjoying the industry rebound. Despite an unemployment rate stuck around 6 percent, companies in our industry are struggling to fill critical jobs. Candidates who can make

It was a simple Facebook post. A photo – something those of us who are on social media are used to – but it wasn’t a “selfie.” It was a depiction of a problem those in the installed-irrigation industry are all too familiar with, and one that people who aren’t in the industry too often

Many irrigation contractors now offer a multiple services: fertilization, irrigation, landscape lighting, decorative water features, retaining walls, yard drainage and even driveway seal-coating. The challenge is how to market all of these different services to their maximum potential. Consider cross selling. For the multiple-service contractor, the fastest way to grow sales and profitability is to

Help others! There is nothing more rewarding than giving of yourself to help someone else. The dividends that come from helping others are too numerous and intangible to list. The definition of help is to provide the means for what is needed or sought; to assist or give support; and to be of use or

Winter is a great time to take stock of where you’ve been and where you’re going with your marketing. It’s also a great time to resolve to improve. Need some marketing resolution inspiration? Here are some suggestions: Fix your marketing attitude. Don’t allow bad experiences and past limitations to cloud your willingness to be bold.

Do We Need Installed Irrigation on Long Island? As a suburban community, lawns, shrubbery and other kinds of floriculture increase the value of Long Island homes. Lawns, shrubbery and other floriculture all need to be irrigated during dry weather. Floriculture adds $202 million annually to the New York State economy. Suffolk is the top agricultural

Every good salesperson knows the importance of up selling; helping the customers decide to buy an extra service or an up-grade that adds to the total purchase. Why do many skip this critical step, upselling? Faced with skeptical and budget-conscious customers, it’s tough for some salespeople to get motivated to do the extra work that

I am often been asked why I am active in the Irrigation Association and what the IA can do for a contractor. While I joined the IA many years ago, the reasons why I joined are still very relevant today My earliest exposure to the IA was taking an education class. As a young contractor,

Where is the nearest Starbucks? What time does the office-supply store close? Where can I buy a handle for Moen faucet? These are all questions being commonly answered by Google Local, which combines the power of Google Map technology with up-to-date profiles of local businesses. Every business that sells products or services needs to have

Back in March, I had the pleasure of speaking at the IANY spring general meeting. One of the topics I touched on was the state of the Long Island economy and its potential impact on the upcoming irrigation season. What I think is important is we can’t compare many current aspects of the irrigation economy

Everyone seems to be talking about social media. Is it the right fit for green-industry companies? Will it help you solve your social media marketing challenges? What are the right ways and the wrong ways to become involved? There are a lot of misperceptions, misunderstandings and misguided efforts. In working with industry firms, I’ve seen

Many contractors are discovering a budget-friendly new marketing tool to share ideas with their customers and prospects: email marketing. You’ve probably received email newsletters or promotions from merchants, banks or non-profit organizations. They’re easily differentiated from regular e-mails because they typically contain graphics as well as text. Done correctly, email marketing is an effective and

Although this story is about good customer service at a restaurant that I recently had with food, there are many takeaways that can be applied to the irrigation industry. I am in love! Shhh, don't tell my boyfriend. I'm in love with Seasons 52, a new restaurant that recently opened in Garden City.  “How can

Now it’s time to prime the pump and get customers flowing in the door again. For many companies, the only path to profitability is to increase sales. There’s nothing more to cut. So where are you going to get increased sales if you don’t market yourself? One contractor put it succinctly: "You can't cut your

So we’ve put the wraps on an incredibly difficult economy this year for our industry, and now we must start thinking about how we can dig out of this economic morass and get back on the growth path.

In New York's freezing climate, it is necessary to shut down or "winterize" customers' sprinkler systems to prevent damage. Special attention should be given to removing water from the backflow preventor, pipes, valves and sprinklers. Contractors must keep in mind that manual-only, gravity-fed drain methods may produce poor results and remote-control valves cannot be manually

I hate to be the one to bring this issue to the table, but reality has to, at some point in time, overtake optimism as the driving force in how we run our businesses. Most of you know me as a very optimistic person, especially when it comes to this industry. I've never believed that

Are you sure you called for a markout before running that pipe? It happens all the time. You think, "it's a small job, just gotta run a couple of pipes."
