GNR's Safety Rider, Easy Rider, and Alley Bump - What's the Difference?
GNR
We often receive questions and inquiries about the differences between the Safety Rider Mini Hump, Easy Rider Speed Bump, and Alley Bump. People are usually unsure of where these devices can be used and the applications of each product.
GNR

To start, they are all traffic calming solutions, are all made of recycled rubber tires, and all address the ongoing problem of speeding. Some devices; however, are more aggressive than others in deterring or slowing vehicles. So what, you may ask, are the differences?

GNR's Marketing Initiatives for 2008
GNR
We at GNR realize the power of marketing and its importance and necessity in growing out distributor's markets. In the coming year, we have put together some new marketing initiatives for our clients that will help increase their leads and ultimately sales.
GNR
GNR
So What Does This Entail?
GNR's Marketing
GNR
We are going to help create and organize their email databases so email drips can be sent to their lists on a bi-monthly basis. GNR will compose these emails which will include their company name, logo, and contact information. The content of each email drip will range from sales tips, to best practices, to articles of interest pertinent to the industry. Our clients will then be able to send these emails out themselves, or we can distribute these emails for them.
GNR
We are here to help our clients succeed and believe these initiatives will breed more success in the coming year. Without visibility in the marketplace, potential leads may go astray and current customers may be snagged by competitors. We are all looking forward to the New Year and have great things in store for 2008!
