Real Estate News from Westfield, MA: July 2008

***thanks to Tasia Fauntleroy for her post which included a tip to this site, see her blog at: http://activerain.com/blogsview/581862/Free-That-s-the***

So on the advice of  fellow ActiveRainer, I went to several freebie sites to see what they had to offer.  Since joining AR, the freebies have been one of my favorite things to share and learn about.  I have been an internet freebie Queen since 1990! 

The site that I played with last night was www.logoease.com  It is a site that allows you to create your own logos FOR FREE!  Here is mine:

It was a ton of fun to mess around with and I like the end result, too!  Head over there and try it out for yourself and thanks again to Tasia!

I have been using VistaPrint for years for business cards, but recently they added a lot of new products and I decided to give them a try.  I started by designing a T-shirt that I bring to my new listings as a thank you gift. 

I leave that at the house along with the feature sheets, a stack of cards and a post-it notes:

I also had a baseball cap made up, which I intended to wear myself, but the first day I had it on one of my best friends snatched it from me and I won't ever see it again.  I ordered more:

I also put a new order in for more T-shirts because all of my friends said they want one and will be my mobile advertising...works for me!

If you are a member of upromise.com (I should write another post about this) VistaPrint is offering a limited time 50% sale price.  For example:  the T-shirt usually would cost almost $10.00   If you are a upromise.com member, you pay only $4.49 each!

My business partner, Jeremie and I just joined this marketing company to send free subscriptions of this magazine to our clients and business partners.  While not free to us, it seems like a nice way of keeping your information in front of people in a low key and accessible way.

I like the look of the magazine and think it is the type of publication that people would keep on their coffee table, etc.  I also like the idea that once you have created your list of contacts, you "own" them and a competitor cannot send to the same company/person/location.

If you have tried this before, give me your opinions on the outcome.  If you are looking for more information visit www.remindermedia.com 

If you are a client or customer who would like to be added to my subscription list, please send me an email:  lesleylambert@parksquarerealty.com
