At towlos, we love showcasing our standout hosts, and this month, we\u2019re excited to highlight Ben! He\u2019s a perfect example of how videos can make a trailer listing truly shine and attract more renters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben\u2019s story begins in Savannah, Georgia, where he started his career in the construction industry. After working for seven years with a reputable general contractor, managing complex projects, Ben decided it was time to make a change. Eight years ago, he relocated to Arizona to advance his career and gain more flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In May 2024, Ben made another big move: he transitioned into a construction consultant role. This new position offered him the work-life balance he had been seeking, and it also fueled his entrepreneurial spirit. Owning a business was always a personal goal, and Ben took the leap when he joined the \u201cTrailer Hustle\u201d Facebook group, where he networked, did his research, and asked the right questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 1, 2024, Ben officially launched his trailer rental business, starting with a 2024 20\u2019 Lamar Drive-Over Fender Car Hauler. Since then, he\u2019s expanded his fleet to include two utility trailers and a deckover\/tilt deck trailer. His business now operates 95% contactlessly, making the rental process easy and efficient for his customers. In just seven months, Ben surpassed his one-year revenue goal of $20K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building Success Through Online Presence and Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For Ben, building a strong online presence has been key to his success. Platforms like Google My Business, Facebook, Instagram, and towlos have helped him connect with customers and build his brand. But it\u2019s not just about being online\u2014it\u2019s about being visible and engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben has learned that photos alone don\u2019t always tell the full story of his trailers. That\u2019s why he adds videos to his listings, showcasing everything from special features to the unique quirks of his equipment. These videos help potential renters get a clear picture of what to expect, and they make the rental process feel more personal and transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Power of Video: A Game Changer for Your Listings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben\u2019s video listings have been a game changer. They allow potential renters to see the full range of features his trailers offer, from loading capacity to special accessories. Videos help renters feel more confident in their choices, leading to smoother transactions and more repeat business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By adding videos to his listings, Ben has built stronger connections with his customers. Whether it\u2019s showing off how easy it is to load equipment or highlighting the trailer\u2019s condition, videos have made his trailers stand out from the competition. Plus, the no-contact pick-up process is smoother, which is a huge advantage in today\u2019s rental market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
