Charge Up! Charge On!!!

Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

     It doesn’t matter what business you are in, one has to continually market in order to get consumers to notice them. My thoughts are that once folks use us, they will like our service and how we conduct business. So the order of the day is market… market… market…
    One of the things I have noticed when I go into real estate office is some frantic agent, looking to see if someone has a phone charger that will mate with their phone. Either everyone has iPhones or Droids and no one seems to have their charger. Complete Home Inspections to the rescue! The team an I have recently built several charging stations that we will start delivering to offices on Monday. The are capable of charging iPhones, Droids, tablets and iPads. Of course they are dripping with cute and we hope that it will generate business and if it doesn’t, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have helped some poor real estate agent out of their phone charging dilemma.

It is a great day at Complete Home Inspections!

Cute, Michael.  I can't imagine being without my charger.  I have a compact battery pack in my purse at all times.

Michael- I love this idea!!!   And you're right, I've seen countless professionals who because they are in and out of their office and their cars, misplace their chargers.

That is a really smart idea, Michael.  Love it.

You should put a logo on it and use your brand colors.

Hi Michael... one of the top inspection companies in the Charlotte area (and one that does most of my client inspections) has provided these charges in broker offices for a while now. Very helpful! And it's a great way to keep your name in front of agents.

I agree with Debbie Gartner , it should look like your logo! Very nice idea and something that will stick around the office.  Perhaps the chimney could hold your business cards...

MIchael, that's a cool idea.  The woman type folks in our office would love the cute birdhouse effect.  How about more manly one for us guys!  Seriously, great idea!
