I did send him a coupon for 1 home inspection for 1 dollar for any home valued under $100,000. I will choose my words more wisely in the future and thanks for your advice.

Hi Frank,

I think that's the smart way to handle it, I've been considering something similar to kick start residential inspections in my area (although not for $1), when I moved down here I deliberately didn't go after "residential retail" business, but frankly (no pun intended) the Commercial side is very quiet.

Regards

Gerry

I took vistaprint.com up on one of their free offers and got 25 free refrigerator magnets. My son who has gotten his learners permit to drive drove me through some neighborhoods and I placed them on 25 mailboxes with for sale signs.

Book a inspection within a week and I ordered 500 more and we go out at night and have a great time.

He has only hit one mailbox with my rear veiw mirror. No damage but I pull that sucker in now.

That's pretty clever, my driver's ed student would love that too! Can I ask what your magnet said/looked like?

Really Frank, the rear view mirror? Isn't that mirror inside the car? Ouch.


I like the magnet idea, very clever.
