ABOUT US

Born of Troy-Bilt

If you manufacture and market tools or equipment -- and ESPECIALLY if you market direct-to-consumer -- you PROBABLY know the name "TROY-BILT."

Troy-Bilt Tiller

Troy-Bilt was America's leading manufacturer and direct marketer of high-ticket outdoor power equipment including the famous Troy-Bilt Tiller, the Troy-Bilt Chipper/Shredder, Chipper/Vac, Tuff-Cut Mower, Garden Way Cart, and more.

EdwardsDirect.net is born directly out of the Troy-Bilt tradition. While employed there for nearly 20 years, we received invaluable tutorials in every nuance of direct marketing. Upon leaving Troy-Bilt, we simply offered the services we'd provided Troy-Bilt to other manufacturers.

Uniquely Different & Better

EVERY copywriter, graphic designer, and marketer claims superior quality, service, and value. We let our clients speak to these points. Click here to read what some of our clients say.

Here's what sets EdwardsDirect.net apart from all others: we are deeply experienced in CLASSIC direct marketing. We mastered direct marketing when it was called "mail order" -- before infomercials; before the internet; before e-mail.

While today's internet is the most "direct" marketing venue of all time, many who market online are heavy on electronic techniques and light on direct marketing know-how.
