FHA: We Fix $6 Haircuts

fha raleigh ncThere's an old story about a a barber shop in a small town that pretty much was the only place to get your haircut.  They'd been there for 20 years and did a great job for a good price.

The town grew - and pretty soon one of those discount shops moved in right across the street.  They put up a BIG Banner that announced they had $6 DOLLAR HAIRCUTS! Well, the folks that owned the original barber shop started losing business... they couldn't meet their bills and obligations if they cut hair for $6 !!

They were honestly worried.  And they were wringing their hands.  The owner was at a Rotary Club meeting a few weeks later and was suddenly INSPIRED!  He left the meeting feeling better than he had in WEEKS!

He went straight to the Fast Sign company and had a HUGE Banner made for the front of his store.  The customers started coming back - and he never had to lower his prices.

The New Banner read... WE FIX $6 HAIRCUTS!

Eleanor, what a terrific marketing idea!  Wonder who's wringing their hands now!  The new shop will probably have to raise its rates or people will think they're terrible!

What a great way to advertise yourself "We fix bad loans" I think that is genius and you need to jump on this and get the post card out there!
