From the Yellow Chair Your Brand Breakthrough Starts Here
Ever wonder what $150,000 in professional branding and business resources could do for a contracting company? The answer might surprise you—it could completely transform their trajectory.
When Lemon Seed Marketing dreamed up the Great American Brand Story initiative, they knew they needed powerful partners to make it truly impactful. Enter Service Nation, whose decade-long mission of helping contractors grow made them the perfect presenting sponsor. Together, they've assembled an extraordinary opportunity worth over $150,000 for one deserving contractor in the plumbing, HVAC, or electrical trades.
Nicole Norris from Service Nation joins Emily to unpack why this initiative matters so deeply. "We want to be instrumental in the lives of contractors," Nicole explains, highlighting how proper branding goes far beyond aesthetics. A thoughtfully crafted brand communicates trust and value to homeowners making significant investments in their properties. As both hosts agree—nobody wants the cheapest contractor handling their essential home systems.
The prize package is comprehensive by design: Lemon Seed's complete rebrand services, Service Nation's business coaching and membership benefits, plus contributions from multiple partners including website development, PR campaigns, direct mail marketing, digital analytics, and more. The transformation journey will culminate in a grand reveal at Service World Expo in Las Vegas this October, professionally documented from start to finish.
For contractors listening, this represents more than just a marketing opportunity—it's potentially life-changing. The initiative targets privately-owned businesses with $1-5M in revenue who are open to creative transformation. As Nicole powerfully states: "If you want to grow, you need to be open to change. If you're not going to change, you're going to die."
