So this is a big “in case you missed it” post. In case you’ve been living under a rock. In case you were asleep at the wheel. In case you hadn’t heard we now own and operate Meiners J-town Hardware.

We’d love for you to stop by and see us. We’ve taken our same philosophies and focus on family and brought it to the hardware business.

So now that the dust has settled expect more updates on this blog and website along with some other announcements.

In the second video, we get a quick look at command central for the Meiners Electric portion of the job.

Tim introduces a long time team member and Brian then tells us a little about himself and about the project at Camp Taylor Elementary. Plus we have a little fun as usual.

So how does this apply to commercial and industrial electrical contracting services? Well it applies because you can only get so cheap before you’re losing money or hoping into the future. It doesn’t matter what electrical business you represent. When you bid someone can always be lower. Is that always what the customer is seeking though? Is electrical contracting such a commodity that the price is the only matter to consider?

If it is, we’re all in trouble because anything can be outsourced and cheaper labor can only get so cheap. You can’t out cheap Walmart or Amazon.com as Seth Godin often says. And you can’t get cheaper than free. So where does that leave us. Well we believe some smart companies won’t award contracts solely on price. We believe the wise ones will look at other factors like safety, quality, service and maybe even a good story. So you were tracking along until the last one. A good story. Yes we hope that smart facilities managers, maintenance and operations managers, purchasing agents, safety directors and business owners will pay a premium for a good story.

When you do business with Meiners Electric you’ll get our best price. You’ll get quality service with a focus on safety. Most of all though you’ll get the experience of doing business with a company that is “one big family”. That’s worth something over cheap, isn’t it?

Since that time we’ve developed some new content for the website, written several articles to educate our customers and to keep everyone in the loop with what we have going on. We created a Facebook Fan Page and in case you missed it Tim already awarded a spot in a Golf Outing to the first lucky caller last week. Look for more to come.

We established a Youtube Channel to share office videos, to give video updates on job projects and to highlight some of our new services.

We created a Twitter account to reach out to the greater electrical community and to network with other business owners and customers in the Louisville area.

We also will be launching an email newsletter this spring. You can get registered here. Initially we’ll send it quarterly with the occasional announcement.

If you’ve ever wanted to promote Meiners Electric to your friends, family or colleagues, these tools have made it easier than ever. Simply share our fan page on Facebook, retweet or reply on Twitter, connect with Tim on LinkedIn, link to our blog posts and youtube videos or forward our email newsletter.

If you have something to say, pick a platform and let us know. Also we’ve made it easy for you to contact us online or to request an estimate.

When you’re looking for a company to handle your commercial and industrial electrical contracting needs- find an electrical contractor that specializes. Don’t get a company that specializes in residential work but just dabbles in commercial and industrial projects. You don’t want a company that primarily handles service calls to handle your commercial buildout or your industrial shutdown.

Sure we handle the occasional favor for someone in a residential home. We also offer some pro bona programs to single mothers; however, we don’t try and be all things to all people.
