Chace Newsletter - July 2007
Tetrault's Topic
[FIRSTNAME], would you or your customers have any interest in a great tool to help manage your wealth? Would you believe me if I told you that if approved, it would cost you NOTHING, not a cent?
Would you rather use someone else's money instead of your own so that you can keep yours in the stock market, bank, 401K or other investment that is earning you more? I don't blame you! I would too. Chace has recently begun offering a Wealth Management Program through GE Money that allows approved customers:
Just think of how nice it would be to make the purchases that you need to keep your business moving ahead, and hten pay for them when you get paid. No more shuffling funds and waiting for checks to clear, doesn't that sound great? What about telling your customers about this financing opportunity so that they are more comfortable making a major purchase or starting a big project. They can apply for this program too! For more information about this exciting new program, contact Susan Gibeault at our Woodstock location 928-2747 x16 or sgibeault@chacebuildingsupply.com.
TRIVIA. What is really big, will save you a lot of time running around and is located in the Chace Marketing Department? Hint - it takes and makes pretty pictures and has minimal cost...
Stumped? It's the KIP 3000. Our new blue print copier/scanner. Our newest team member was installed at the end of June and has already been working it's tail off! We are now offering blue print copies to our customers for $2.00 each and/or files on CD for $3.00 per disk. If you have a file on disk that you need printed we can do that too! Check out the new machine the next time you're in the Woodstock store - back through the paint department and up the stairs in the Marketing Office.
We are always looking for ways to make your lives easier. If there's anything we can do to help serve you better, or make your job easier, please let us know. We will do as much as we can to help you. Drop your ideas in the suggestion box at the front of the Woodstock store, email them to me (rtetrault@chacebuildingsupply.com) or leave me a voicemail (928-2747 x47 or 564-1161 x224). I look forward to hearing how we can help you!
Thanks and have a great July!

Need Summer Help?
The Residential Construction Career Institute is looking for reputable contractors in Northeast Connecticut who would be interested in hiring/utilizing student interns of high school and college age in the field of remodeling/homebuilding. These students would come from QVCC, Ellis Tech, Windham Tech, Killingly High, and other schools in the area that are willing to adopt the training requirements and embrace the program. The work experience would be in all aspects of residential and commercial construction. The contractor must be lisensed, insured and carry workman’s compensation to qualify. The internships could lead to permanent employment if all parties were in agreement. The students are interested in the field as they have voluntarily enrolled and are paying for a portion of their education.
