WhiteFence 101: Did You Know?

Have you ever heard of the elevator pitch? Wikipedia defines the elevator pitch as "an overview of an idea for a product, service, or project. The name reflects the fact that an elevator pitch should be possible to deliver in the time span of an elevator ride, meaning in a maximum of 30 seconds and in 130 words or fewer."

Recently, I've found myself giving elevator pitches about WhiteFence, particularly at South By Southwest, where tons of people are curious about who you work for and what you do. I think if I was giving a quick run-down of what WhiteFence is and what it offers, I would say that it is a free service that allows movers or shoppers to find and order the best deals on their home services or utilities.

In reality, there's a lot more to the WhiteFence experience than what can be summed up in 130 words or less. In the spirit of those old school The More You Know segments, here are some interesting "did you know" facts about WhiteFence.
