I don't think signs should "come from NACHI" with the referral site URL. NACHI could distribute them to inspectors with no URL so we may apply our own info (whether it be an URL, our name, our phone #, etc.)

An agent should not get these signs unless given to them by the inspector who verifies compliance "on the ground". Send them emails, send them information packets, send them letters with the URL, but don't send them signs, period.

If NACHI doesn't want to pay for inspectors signs without the referring URL then don't make them. If they can't be Move In Certified without a NACHI inspection, the signs (any and all) need to come from the inspector with his/her own referral information.

I agree with Will, and Dave. leave a space for the company name at the top and the url at the bottom. I know that Nick means well with this, but I for one have been working very hard to market my self here. So why should I allow nachi to step up and market for the local nachi inspectors that are not making the effort. JMHO

I too agree. I don't think NACHI needs to pay for these signs. I can have them made up by my sign guy for 10-15 dollars each and I have no problem doing that. If we can put our own info at the bottom that would be even that much better as we are the ones doing the inspection and marketing of the idea. I also don't want someone going to the website and just picking the first inspector they see and it not be me. I want them to go through me and then to the MIC website. I hope this gets figured out soon though cause I am ready to get onboard with this now.

I would even go a step further and suggest that we be allowed (don't see why not) to simply duplicate the informational portion of the MIC site (minus the find an inspector) on our own web sites.

Just a note about doing that. One would want to set the robots.txt file of their website to not index those particular pages. The current Google algorithm may penalize your site for duplicate content that is already indexed elsewhere.
