NOW FOR THE BEST IDEA.....
There was an ERA agent came up if the best idea I have ever heard of the last time the US stamps. We all do mail outs from time to time to bring in more business. So with one letter about ERA Real Estate and the market in her area she included some 2 cent stamps. With a note that read something like...I know we will have those old stamps lying around so don't waste your money by throwing them away. She brought in a lot of clients and left everyone taking. Which is what we all want right?
