"iMobileDoctor™in Ace Hardware exceeded our expectations. The first 45 days the team did $3,672.00 in total sales. The iMobileDoctor marketing team pulled in new customers by using their on-line web resources and marketing which was included free as part of their service. We are in the process of rolling their services into 2 more stores at our Bloomington and Inver Grove Heights locations. If we did this well the first 45 days it's hard to believe what the next 12 months will deliver as community awarenes increases"

What is the Opportunity in Mobility Repair?
Mobility is a mulit-billion dollar industry that is here to stay. Apple is the leader in this space and is considered one of the best innovators in this technology. These devices are expensive to replace (new iPhone 4s costs around $700 to replace off-contract) and are prone to breakage due to the large touch screens. However, there are no nationally recognized stores that focus on parts and repair. This creates a great opportunity for brick and mortar stores to meet the demand and fill this gap. This also brings in new customers that may not typically shop there.
What Value do our On-line Resources Provide?
Our extensive on-line resources are what provides our Ace Hardware partners with a competitive advantage. How do these resources help our Ace Hardware partners? They generate foot traffic and phone calls into the stores from customers looking to repair their mobility products. For example, if you type "Minneapolis iPhone Repair" in Google you will see 5 natural links and 1 video that directs users to Ace Hardware in Lakeville, MN. We can perform this same advertising strategy for any "<cityname> iPhone repair" keyword phrase and point it to your Ace Hardware store. This is powerful stuff and provides a significant competitive advantage to our Ace partners. The best part of this is you don't pay a penny for this service because it's part of the core package. Let us drive the customers to your store!
