Why some heating oil companies don’t post prices

You might be searching the site looking for current prices….

If you’re having a tuff time there’s a reason.

Heating Oil Companies don’t realize that people are actively searching online right now to buy their heating oil (to the tune of over 1 million page views a month on this site alone).

As far as I see it there’s 3 kinds of companies.

1st The good, honest, straight shooting kind that post their prices for the world to see. These people have nothing to hide and even if they are a few pennies more expensive you can generally trust them.

The 2nd group doesn’t want to put their prices up on line and they wait for you to call them so they can “negotiate” their best price with you. The more you cry the cheaper the price.

Reminds me of why used car salesmen get such a bad rap!

And the 3rd post their prices on their web sites but won’t put them anywhere else for fear that a consumer will compare their prices with the company on the same page.

CRAZY! Don’t these guys know that consumers are going to pick up the phone and call their competition next?

So my freinds we are slowly getting companies coming on board that are marketing savy and realize just how transparent the world is thanks to the internet.

They also realize consumers are getting smarter and more savy and realize that there’s a lot more to choosing an oil company then just price.

You can check out heating oil help to see just how brutal some of these creepy companies can be.

So if you don’t see any companies posting in your area? I’d wonder what kind of companies they are. I’d also give them the benefit of the doubt and I’d mention this site.

Besides getting good info on the site it’ll help everyone involved.

Here’s my offer to you.

Drop me a note and tell me the oil company you’re going to contact. If they become a customer I’ll send you $100.00 for your trouble as my small way of saying thank you.

Talk with you soon.
