How Egan’s Exteriors Went From a Part-Time College Business to a Fully Booked Season in Under 90 Days
If you’ve ever felt too small, too new, or too early in your business to invest in marketing, this story is for you.
When Ty, the owner of Egan’s Exteriors in Bloomington-Normal, started his pressure washing business, he was still a full-time college student. He worked between classes, squeezed in jobs on weekends, and relied completely on word-of-mouth and Facebook posts.
He had no ads.
No SEO.
A basic Wix landing page.
And no predictable way to grow.
Like a lot of small home-service owners, he worked hard… but the business had no momentum yet.
But in just one season with Promotive, everything changed.
Ty went from “hoping someone found him” to being fully booked, winning a Readers’ Choice Award, doubling his reviews, and adding $25–$30K in new revenue from Christmas lights alone.
This is the story of how starting small doesn’t have to hold you back.
