charleston real estate investors: Are You One Of The "Criminals" That Use Bandit Signs? - 02/23/09 10:30 AM
Do you use signs to market your business or service?
You know the kind that I am talking about; the bright yellow signs that are nailed to telephone poles, or trees or are stuck in the ground near high traffic areas.
   
Investors called them 'Bandit Signs" or "Snipe Signs"
Several years ago, when I first began investing in real estate, I had a friend that ordered 500 of these signs every month to "get-the-word-out" as he says, about his business; when I asked him, "Why 500?" he replied, "Because "They" keep taking them down!"
He never could explain exactly … (1 comments)

charleston real estate investors: Can something as simple as a calendar make a difference in your 2009 production? - 01/07/09 06:55 PM
Many years ago, when I entered the financial services business, Salespeople were taught by management to "give every person we met" a calendar with your name and telephone number on it, so that at any time of the year, if they had a need for financial services, this person would think of you, call you, and you would make some money.
In an attempt to be like the "big boys", I ordered them by the cases!
Gave them away to anybody who moved - and a couple to people who didn't move quick enough! 
The printer who printed the calendars made money; the shipping company … (4 comments)
