realtor gifts: It is a great night to be online and off the streets in Atlanta
- 05/20/08 11:10 AM
The rain is pouring, the thunder booming and a tornado warning is in effect at 7:05pm. What a great time to write a blog - eh? Earlier today I wrote a blog saying, I have lowered my prices! Now, I realize I should remind you that while you are looking back at www.wevemovedgifts.com it is a great time to play "I Spy." The May contest is off and running for free closing gifts, so take a moment to send your entry. As I have often said, "the odds are great -- much better than Lotto" for winning.

realtor gifts: Despite the drought, Georgia is just beautiful now
- 10/15/07 07:57 AM
Aside from the closing gifts that I produce and sell (and have talked about on AR - www.wevemovedgifts.com), I also write newsletters for tenants in office buildings. Having fall fever myself, I recently wrote an article for one client about some things to do in the north Georgia mountains. I thought it might be fun to share some of the info with you.
Take I-75 to North Georgia for Some Fall Fun With the fall season upon us, it's a great time to jump on I-75 north to delight in some of the most beautiful sights our lovely state has to offer. For … (3 comments)
realtor gifts: Taking the Perfect Photo is Not Always Possible - But Making One Is
- 10/12/07 12:47 AM
I recently finished an order of We've Moved change-of-address cards for a client, and it's fun to show the before and after results. These images give a great idea of the effort that is put into the closing gifts I market at www.wevemovedgifts.com. Those of you who have been playing "I Spy" for free closing gifts already have a good idea of what can be accomplished with much less than ideal images. The gifts I sell are unique and have a lot of value-added service. All of the retouched photos are turned into artistic renderings, which give them a very attractive look … (6 comments)

realtor gifts: So you finally created your website. But does it work?
- 09/25/07 11:40 AM
When it comes to e-commerce, I'm still a greenhorn. I don't shop much on the Internet, although I have some favorite sites that I visit periodically. And, I have my own site which I have revised a few times since its launch in February 2006. Each day I learn more about the Internet -- how to use it, how to market my closing gift products on it, and the power it wields in our world today. One thing has become obvious to me -- we can all be too close to our own websites and not see the forest for the tree. … (2 comments)

realtor gifts: Big-Box Mentality Just Doesn't Work For Us
- 09/19/07 04:31 AM
At a time when big-box retailers have all but snuffed out small mom and pop businesses, it has struck me that real estate is one of the last bastions of entrepreneurism. Now, I know some will point out all of the opportunities to become the next boy genius like Bill Gates, but what I am talking about are those businesses that are on the front lines helping Mr. and Mrs. Joe Public on a daily basis.For those of you old enough to remember, think about what was your favorite store when you were a child. Did you know the owner? Were … (2 comments)
realtor gifts: Your Closing Gift Should Be A Memorable "Housewarming" Gift
- 09/18/07 02:29 PM
It has become real apparent to me since joining ActiveRain that each individual's idea of what makes a personal closing gift are as different as their choices of gifts for their spouses. Some might give a vacume cleaner to their wives and think that is personal. Wives might give their husbands an electric drill -- and they are probably delighted! I maintain that a personal closing, or better yet housewarming gift should be, well, uh... personal. To me that doesn't mean a gift certificate. That's not to say that a gift certificate from a megabox hardware store won't be appreciated. It's just … (0 comments)
realtor gifts: If I'm Giving Advice, Am I Still A Newbie?
- 09/17/07 07:34 AM
This newbie (if I am still considered one) has reached the one-month milestone on ActiveRain, and I thought it might be a good time to give some feedback for those who are even newer than me. We all need something to look forward to. Since the middle of August, I have written nearly 40 blogs (some definitely better than others), accumulated nearly 10,000 points, made a number of friends and even sold some of my closing gifts. My website -- www.wevemovedgifts.com -- has moved up tremendously in Google, which prior to joining AR, was definitely not a twinkle in Google's virtual eyes. My … (5 comments)

realtor gifts: AR Fantasy Update
- 09/09/07 12:02 PM
Since writing my blog, " I'M RICH!!! THANK YOU ACTIVE RAIN!!!!" when I delighted in the fantasy of 44,259 AR members being online at the same time, another 2,728 have joined. WOW! Now if my customer list grew by the same percentage -- 6% per month or less -- I would be one happy newbie/entrepreneur. So, help me out. Don't let market conditions drive you -- Drive It. Go get 'em agents. Then buy closing gifts! From me! Ahhhhh. I needed that. Hope things pick up for all of us.

realtor gifts: I Put the Bruno Mali Shoes on OJ
- 08/26/07 01:04 PM
If it's true that "a picture is worth a thousand words," then I hope you will find that the following photos support the opinion I presented in my blog, Let Professionals Do Their Jobs . Can individuals sell their homes FSBO? Sure they can. Are they somehow better off for doing it? I don't think so. Likewise, we can all handle a camera to some extent. And it is critical that realtors have some expertise in this area. But when it is time to present those images, make sure they look good. I am certain it will have a bearing on the success … (1 comments)
