Growth Proposal, October 29, 2026
No Website Overhaul.
A focused growth partnership for Focused Metal Products. Your existing website and checkout work well. We’re not touching them. This proposal is about one thing: getting more of the right buyers in front of what you already make, using AI-powered email and lead generation.
This proposal works alongside FMP’s existing website and ordering process. No changes to the site. No new checkout. The goal is simple: get more of the right buyers to the bumper page, and let the product do what it already does.
Why It Works
- Roughly half the price of the main alternative. The value is obvious the moment a buyer compares.
- One bumper fits all: universal fit across step van makes and model years, so one SKU covers an entire mixed fleet
- In stock and ships fast. Fleet managers don’t have time to wait on custom lead times.
Who’s Buying
- Amazon DSPs. avg fleet 20 to 40 vans
- FedEx ISPs. avg fleet 10 to 50 vans
- UPS contract carriers
- Body shops servicing contractor fleets
- Service garages specializing in work vans
- Municipal and utility fleets
“Easy to install. Fast delivery time. High quality bumper!”
The Math
- Single unit: $395
- 5-pack: $1,745 ($349/ea)
- 12-pack: $4,020 ($335/ea)
- Fleet of 20 vans: ~$6,700 first order
- Wear item. Repeat orders, recurring revenue.
Bumpers are in stock and ship fast. every email we send ends with “ready when you are.” The goal is building familiarity in November and December so January converts.
Get the Engine Running
Migrate to SendGrid, clean and segment the list, launch the dashboard. Existing-customer emails and weekly new-prospect outreach start immediately. Week-one cadence is live before Thanksgiving.
Stay in Front, Don’t Push
Contractors are running peak holiday volume. don’t push a sale. Lighter, awareness-focused messages keep FMP’s name in front of prospects. Goal: when they’re ready in January, FMP is the name they think of first.
Highest Intent Window of the Year
Holiday crunch ends. Fleet managers notice the damage. Prospects have been hearing from FMP for two months. When they’re ready to repair their trucks, FMP is the name they reach for. Bumpers are in stock. Ships fast. Ready when you are.
Month to month. No long-term commitment. No website changes.

Referral Capture
Tom M. at TJM Express bought, loved it, and left a real review. That is organic referral behavior with no system behind it. Thirty days after every purchase, an automated email asks happy buyers to refer another contractor, DSP, or body shop. Simple trackable link. No manual follow-up. One Indiana customer becomes ten.
None of this is in the current proposal. Each item below is a natural next step, scoped and priced separately when FMP is ready.
Full Website Rebuild
A modern site with a dedicated bumper page, built when the bumper line is ready for its own storefront. SEO-optimized, Tom M.’s review in the hero, clear path to purchase. Includes a claimed Google Business Profile with automated review requests after every order, so each satisfied buyer becomes a public endorsement.
Automated Bumper Sales
When order volume outgrows manual entry, connect checkout, PS Data, and shipping labels so FMP’s only step is print, pack, ship.
Social Media + Google Ads
LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and search ads to reach buyers beyond email. Targets the same fleet contractors, body shops, and DSP owners.
PS Data Dashboards
Inventory and order coverage, plus a 13-week rolling cash view. Pulls from PS Data via API or scheduled export. No double entry.
Hinge Assembly Calculator
Enter order quantity, get back a full bill of materials: cut list, hardware spec, and labor estimate. Consistent quoting, no manual math.
FMP’s existing website and checkout work well. This proposal doesn’t touch them. The plan below works alongside what you already have. No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime.
