Editor’s Note–Sometimes those Willamette Week guys have good ideas! Take their “Car Dealer of the Week” box located in their automotive section, or the housing section’s Real Estate FAQ. One might think this is just a “buy an ad, get a positive story about your business” scam, but it’s NOT! People want to know about car salesmen’s private lives, and who doesn’t have questions for a real estate broker? And so what if these people are also advertisers–there’s no law against it!
On that note, there’s a lucrative advertising category the Mercury has yet to tap: Digging and dredging equipment. And we just happened to find a fascinating man who sells hole digging equipment and thought you might like to hear his story.
Meet
Phil Campbell
Phil is the owner of Deep ‘N’ Precise Hole Digging-Units on SE 82nd Ave. Phil started a digging and dredging repair shop in 1988, which was very successful. After numerous clients and friends asked Phil where they could buy a digging or dredging unit, he decided to open up his own dealership as a service to his clients. He had never sold a digging or dredging unit in his life! But he knew that if he ran the dealership the way he ran his repair shop, with customer service as his central priority, it would be a success! And for the last 12 years, Phil has done just that.
So whether you’re looking for a new digging or dredging unit, or just servicing a used one, call Deep ‘n’ Precise Hole Digging-Units, and be prepared to be treated like family! (And tell them the Portland Mercury sent you!)
