National Roof Group's Members Only Site:

Roofing Contractors: YOU Are Roofing!

In an effort to make it known that National Roof Group maintains the ideal that Roofing Contractors make the industry what it is, we are starting a new campaign. Our sites will slowly begin to reflect the new NRG motto: You Are Roofing!

After many requests for t-shirts and other items to be made available to members, we are currently building the NRG Store. There you will be able to buy all of your National Roof Group Gear and have them imprinted to show off your pride of membership.

For more information, check back soon and we will announce the NRG Store's opening in the coming days.

Roofing Photos Needed for Roofing Entrepreneur

Roofing Entrepreneur Magazine is calling on our Roofing Contractor Friends to send us high-quality photos of you working on a roof. If your photo is selected, you will receive a free Roofing Channel T-shirt for your trouble.

For more information, see the National Roof Group - Roofing Forum.

National Roof Group Portal Updated:

Well, after much deliberation, the NRG Portal had been updated to reflect all of the available sites. We still have some work to do, but for the most part it is running well.

Not only do you get a complete description of all the sites available, we've made it so that you can see a small copy of them in advance.

New NRG Program Launch Coming

Now that the 4th of July is over and we've all had a good rest, I want to take the time to announce the latest NRG Member benefit. Fusion Printing is adding a new service to the lineup called "Blast Radius Marketing."

Blast Radius Marketing is a very targeted approach to direct mail services. This is an extremely useful tool if you are roofing a home, and notice that an entire neighborhood is reaching the point where roofs are worn out. You can even take a before and after picture to put on your postcards, then with Blast Radius, you can easily send a postcard to every home in the neighborhood. As with most things, NRG does most of the work for you and we keep our pricing low for our members!

Another example of Blast Radius is when a hail storm hits in a particular area. You can send us an address in the neighborhood, and we can send out your message to the entire zip code, one street, or within a certain radius. That way you stay on budget and keep your message extremely targeted and never spend more than necessary. This will help you beat the "Storm Chasers" at every turn.

Our Mailings are First Class:
We only send First Class Mail so that your postcards arrive on time and in good shape. Most radius mail services use bulk mail rates and pocket the money they save. This also slows your order down considerably!

We don't skimp on quality, and when you order, your cards are mailed the next business day after the proof is approved! Now that's service with timing!

Full Color, Digital Print Quality and Gloss Coated:

Everything we print uses top quality paper, and is coated to make your card stand out. They are glossy and will represent your company in the best light.

Unique Designs keep you from looking like everyone else!:

When you order from Blast Radius, you know that your competetion is not going to be using the exact same cards that you are. Our designers will work hard to make a design that carries your branding and makes certain that you stand out in the crowd. All designs are custom made, and will not be replicated in a particular area.

Roofing Entrepreneur Magazine Released

National Roof Group is very proud to announce that the very first issue of Roofing Entrepreneur Magazine is now available for download. Ok, so it's probably more of an e-zine, but after this much work, we're going to call it a magazine.

Initially we planned to have the roofing magazine printed, bound and sent out to all the fine roofing contractors of the United States, but when we got the quotes on printing and shipping, we decided against. In fact, for a while there was great dout that it would ever become anything.

Alas, the decision was made to start the offering from the beginning as digital copy, thereby saving a small fortune in printing costs.

Future issues are already in the works, and you can expect them to be available quarterly. We have guest writers who will be adding special columns concerning the roofing industry, so get ready.

At the beginning of 2009 (after the kinks are worked out) the decision will be made to either maintain the quarterly editions, or move them up to bimonthly or monthly.

We hope you enjoy, and watch it as it grows!
