New promotional tool coming up...

[Chris Morrell]

I just wanted to share some early edits of the artwork that we're working on for a new brochure. The first image is what the brochure will look like closed. The second image is when you open the orange flap (there will also be a list of items from the NACHI SOP that points to items on the right-hand side of the image). Inside you'll be able to put a bunch of information about your company, etc. I'll have more images later, but I thought you guys would enjoy a sneak peek.

Here they are:



Cheers,

Awesome!

Great work, Chris.

I look at other inspectors websites all the time mainly to see if they show a sample report. Many or the bigger names in home inspection software are really lacking in my opinion. I see all the time where an inspector will write something like "GFCI missing, faulty, whatever and then put noted at several locations, refer to a licensed Electrical Contractor and repair/replace as needed". Then it might have a picture 20 pages away if at all. What does that really tell the buyer? Does the buyer know what a GFCI is? I can't find anything else in some of these reports that says anything more. What it tells the electrician is that he is going to have to re-inspect the whole house again to find out what the inspector is talking about. In my opinion a computer generated report should have more than 10 pictures in it and they should be in the same section as the finding statement. Some of the finding statements that I see over and over are really lacking in clarity. Look at TWI if you want to give your clients some real information and forget the checklist all together.

What does this have to do with Chris' design?

[George A. H. Luck]

David - you beat me to it.
Chris, is there any possibility of reserving an area on the cover so that we can have our company information added to identify it as being a brochure from "ABC Inspections" for example?

[Russell Spriggs]

Chris, great work- as always!

Wade, there is a "software" section on the MB, as well as "report writing" - you may want to post you query / comment there.

George,

The brochure will have a spot on the back and on the inside to put your company name and logo. We want to keep the front as clean as possible to make the image/design more inticing. There will be plenty of places to brand--don't worry.

Smart thinking.

[Robin N. Byrd]

The brochure design looks great.
