I do trucks for many different contractors in similar business. For instance different cement contractors, HVAC guys, etc.
We like to post pictures of completed projects on our Facebook page. How do you handle it when do trucks for competing contractors? We don't want to look like we favor one over the other. Plus, we try to mix in a little community service with our page. Any thoughts?

Long ago when I was an apprentice working in LA, I went back to Boston to visit my family. Enjoying my delight in learning to letter, I went into a local sign shop near where I grew up. As I entered and told them I was learning the business the guy asked for my ID. C'mon, show e a drivers license? This was wierd. I showed it to him and he then allowed me into the shop. It was mostly big metal cans with lotsa neon. As I questioned his hesitation allowing me entrance, I was told there were agents from the competitors of his clients that would try to find what was being built so they could out perform their competition. That's why they were protecting their clients. I was accustomed to being warmly greeted walking into sign shops. This has nothing to do with facebook, but it does have content regarding human jealousy. That is what you're dealing with. Insecurity, accusations of favoritism, preferring one over another. I wish you best of success with this one.
