I was advertising on a national union website because of my Homes for Heroes program - terminated that this month. I am watching my P and L closely and suspect there may be other changes. And I said NO to some banner ads for local schools that I did before

I have reduced spend on Angie's List to be more focused on the zips where I have a higher close rate. It seems to be helping effectiveness/close rate of these leads.
