Have YOU seen what you can do.....(marketing idea?)

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Solutions- OZARK MISSOURI

I put most of my pictures on PHOTOBUCKET, it is a free hosting site and linking ones images is pretty easy to do.  I was playing around today with other products they offer for SALE and look what I am working on:

coffee cup

I need to tweak this a bit to get the info on that I want and the resolution quality (need to hunt down my original photo) but it gives me an idea of what I was trying to accomplish.  Thought I would share.-  Cheryl (going to get my OWN coffee cup) Willis

For a Client 'house warming gift' I was thinking about doing a picture of their new place with my info.  This would be a better marketing idea IMHO anyone could adapt it to their own style.

  

kevin drive Still need a better picture to use for real.

I guess I should look around photo bucket a little more, I didn't know they sold items like this at all! I've been a paying member for over a year now.

Cheryl- I want the Billboard...but not my picture, I want to have a picture of you selling a lovely Sheldon, MO 1.78 acre place :) :)  OK, seriously I went to a huge trade show of Marketing ideas in Europe, and actually bought one of the ites.  It is a banner...but not a horizontal one, a vertical one, with a funny stand.  I was hosting a Seminar, and put the Seminar on the Banner......after-wards I cut the date and Seminar details off, and still used the Banner :)

Todd, I tend to try the 'free' side and then forget to look around.

Kathy, I would sell that for you if I could.  Tad bit out of my sandbox.  I do promote it when possible.  thanks for stopping by.  cw

Kent- I think the neat thing about something like mugs is they can be so personal and purchased one at a time in the example of a closing gift- how cool is that?

Diane- there are other medias look like they can support similar products, share what you learn and show us what you come up with.

Terri- thanks, I am all about creative and fun, you hit two of my favorite buzz words-  cw

Great  idea. I am ordering them for my friends and family.  I just had my friends brother buy a condo here.  My friend forgot that I was a realtor here...the cup will correct that problem for sure...
