(The Home Show is held in the last weekend in January).

Since adding a Banner Ad to the Home Page of SpringfieldHBA.com and a Web Link to HBAHomePros I have seen a noticeable increase in web traffic. Approximately 75% of traffic to my site originates from SpringfieldHBA.com. I am sure the addition of a few Keywords to HBAHomePros will continue to help referrals come my way. Electronic advertising on SpringfieldHBA.com compliments my print advertising in the HBA Event Magazine which is a great way to make my presence known at the HBA Events. I consider these to be nice little bonuses to my HBA Membership. Jason Bekebrede
Monticello Homes & Development

The Springfield HBA has been a breath of fresh air compared to past experiences as an HBA member in larger markets. This organization and their people are truly helpful to their members. They are genuinely concerned for their members and continually provide educational programs keeping us abreast and updated with the issues in today’s challenging markets. Regina & Stan Gutshall

Because of my listing on the HBA Home Pros membership search and a Banner Ad on the home page my web traffic increased significantly. My statistics showed that approximately 25% of my web traffic is currently originating from SpringfieldHBA.com. Sam Bradley
