World's best mousepad

UPDATE: Real estate agents love their mouse pads.

Mousepad Promotion #1: The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recently revealed another piece of its nationwide real estate agent marketing program. Ergonomic mouse pads, each with a gel-filled wrist rest, are being shipped to real estate agents all over the United States. The mouse pads, which depict an unhappy couple standing waist high in the flooded basement of their new home, contain the caption, "We should have hired a InterNACHI inspector."

"We registered the URL "FindAnInspector.US" and developed software to easily add an inspector search icon to agent's desktops and start menus," said Chris Morrell, Webmaster for InterNACHI. "The link appears on the bottom of the mouse pad and directs visitors to InterNACHI inspectors in their area."

"We purchased the highest quality mouse pads available," said Beccah Levine, Director of Development for InterNACHI. "Each thick, non-skid, ergonomic pad includes a gel-filled wrist rest. We're sure agents will replace their existing mouse pads with ours."

The InterNACHI mouse pad is free upon request to any licensed real estate agent. From time to time InterNACHI asks members to submit lists of agents to assist us with this. Currently we are seeking the names and addresses of Corporate relocation agents. However, we'll take any licensed agent's name and address. These names and addresses are put in a pool from which InterNACHI staff randomly draws. InterNACHI does not record or track recipients. InterNACHI switched to Canadian-friendly www.InspectorSEEK.com in 2005. These mousepads are designed to promote InterNACHI's membership, not any one individual member. As such, InterNACHI members cannot order them for themselves, even if they agree to pay for them. Members who wish to order mousepads should see Mousepad Promotion #2 (below):

Mousepad Promotion #2: InterNACHI will cover up to 50% (pro-rated) of the production costs for any member who wants his/her own quality mousepads with his/her own inspection company contact information on it. They must be high quality and include a InterNACHI web address such as www.nachi.org, www.FindAnInspector.US , www.InspectorLocator.com , www.InspectorNOW.com or www.InspectorSEEK.com somewhere on it to qualify for reimbursement . InterNACHI does not reimburse for cheap mousepads or poor designs so check with Nick first. Reimbursements for such shared marketing ventures are made directly from InterNACHI to you. InterNACHI does not sell mousepads, we only reimburse members for procuring their own after we receive a pic (jpg) of it.

You can see fellow InterNACHI member' Ron Kuntz's design at http://www.nachi.org/bbsystem/usrimages/0ron_mousepad.jpg. InterNACHI reimbursed Ron 50% of his costs to purchase his own mousepads. His business increased 450% after delivering 250 of these mousepads to local REALTORs. There are many other InterNACHI members who have testified on the InterNACHI message board to their success. Here is a more recent thread with a testimonial from InterNACHI member Darrell Hadler: http://www.nachi.org/forum/showthread.php?t=711&highlight=mousepads .
