'Green' Goomzee

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Goomzee

A recent sign order resulted in our supplier mistakenly printing over 30 extra sign riders.

Acknowledging the mistake, our supplier offered to dispose of them at no charge, a courteous gesture...

...but in today's economic and environmental climate...

...how could we just throw away 30ish perfectly good signs?  Instead, we returned the signs, and asked our provider to simply re-label them when the time comes for the next order.

Fantastic!  An environmentally-friendly, all-around 'green' solution to a potentially wasteful problem!  Goomzee also reduces paper waste by delivering listing information to homebuyers via text message.  In fact, I even get 'THE LOOK' from co-workers when I print something onto hardcopy.  It's exciting to work for a company that does its part for the environment.

In what areas are you taking steps to 'Go Green'?

It is good to think Green-I try not to print unless I have to. To scan and email when possible.

I switched from a paper fax machine to an e-fax service about 2 months ago.  It has been a really tough transition and it seems that I still end up priniting out 90% of the crap I get by fax.  It has not lived up to my expectations yet.

Pat - We do the same.. In fact, I can't remember the last time we have had to purchase printer paper.  Thanks for commenting, Pat.

 

Robert - Can I call you Bob?  :)  That's some good feedback on Fax-to-Email services; I haven't used one yet, but I have seen them sprouting up as of late.  It is too bad that it is not living up to your expectations.   'Snaps' to you for making the jump into Green Territory.  Thanks for your comment, Bob!
