      Brother Brands

      The Trade Table is a cornerstone business within Forrest’s Brother Brands holding company. Designed to simplify home improvement, it collaborates seamlessly with its brother companies to provide customers with fully integrated solutions and exceptional service.

      E-commerce Brands

      Fireplace Distributor, part of Brother Brands, specializes in providing premium fireplaces to elevate and warm your home. As a key component of Brother Brands’ operations, it works in harmony with its brother company, The Trade Table. This collaboration creates a seamless experience, delivering everything from top-quality fireplaces to essential home improvement solutions, ensuring comfort, style, and functionality for every homeowner.

      Home Service Brands

      Brother Brands owns Bear Brothers Cleaning, a thriving cleaning company based in Alabama. The idea for the business emerged after Forrest completed his electrician apprenticeship. Having recently earned a 4-year degree from Tulane University, he was eager to start a home services brand but wanted to avoid committing to additional years of schooling required for most home service industries. Cleaning perfectly fits his ambitions, aligning with his goals of a quick start. Since its inception, Bear Brothers Cleaning has been dedicated to making homes “Beary Clean,” delivering exceptional service with over 100 5-star reviews. Bear Brothers Cleaning also has additional websites to capture more cleaning leads across Alabama, including  Cleaning Services HuntsvilleHouse Cleaning BirminghamCleaning Services Montgomery, and Cleaning Services Mobile.  

      Local News Brands

      After a major Google Search update derailed one of Forrest Webber’s projects, Talking Tradesmen, he realized the risk of relying solely on Google to attract customers. Determined to take control of his customer base and build a more sustainable strategy, he decided to focus on direct community engagement. Instead of “renting” customers from Google, Forrest created a local newsletter and directory website to “own” the email addresses of potential customers in the areas where his businesses operate. Thus, Homely Media was born and is currently represented by Homely Huntsville and Homely Birmingham. Homely Huntsville has grown to serve over 1,000 subscribers with its newsletter, delivering content tailored to the Huntsville community. The accompanying website acts as a comprehensive directory for nearly every business in the area, bridging the gap between customers and local enterprises. This innovative approach empowers local businesses, helps local customers, and ensures that Forrest’s companies remain deeply connected to the communities they serve.

      Digital Marketing Brands

      Throughout Forrest’s journey building The Trade Table and Bear Brothers Cleaning, he honed invaluable skills in digital marketing, with a strong emphasis on SEO and PPC strategies. His work managing digital marketing for his father’s companies, TriHaz Solutions, and Plastic Fusion, further sharpened these skills. This hands-on experience gave him a deep understanding of the digital marketing landscape and its impact on business growth. Recognizing the demand for these specialized skills and his passion for generating business leads, Forrest launched Tradesmen Agency, a digital marketing agency focused on serving tradesmen—a term Forrest applies broadly to include a range of industries. Additionally, Forrest’s admiration for boutique hotels and classical architecture inspired the creation of SEO for Hotel, a niche digital marketing agency exclusively serving hotels. These ventures showcase his marketing expertise and reflect his unique ability to align his personal interests with professional pursuits, offering tailored solutions for diverse industries.
