“There is no doubt that the San Juan Website is the best in the fiberglass pool industry,” San Juan President Kirk Sullivan said. “No one can compete with us when it comes to using the Internet and making the very best fiberglass pools.”

San Juan’s latest Internet innovation is a tracking system that lets dealers and their customers know the exact location of a shipment at any time by referring to a map on the San Juan Webpage. This is made possible by a Qualcom transponder aboard every truck that leaves San Juan’s plants in Lakeland, Florida and Eloy, Arizona.

“Dealers and their customers can find out exactly where their pools are 24 hours a day by simply visiting the San Juan Website,” Sullivan said.

San Juan dealers can also access the Website to complete various transactions on line, including the following:

• Ordering pools directly from the Lakeland and Eloy factories;

• Obtaining financing for customers through Conseco Finance;

• Tracking leads furnished by San Juan corporate headquarters;

• Viewing all models, as well as award-winning installations completed by San Juan dealers;

• Obtaining financial information, including closing ratios.

The Website also features a map of the United States superimposed with the location of each participating San Juan dealer.

“The map gives all of our dealers tremendous exposure to potential pool buyers,” Sullivan said. “Our research shows that pool buyers are big time Internet users. That’s why we have made such a heavy investment in the Internet.”
