This past weekend was a our investor training for Texas Home Buyers Network. We had a ton of new information to share with them and a lot of great interaction through out the 12 hours of training. I spoke for a few hours on marketing. Specifically, how to find motivated sellers and the MANY different ways to achieve that. We came to a section titled : “Creative Marketing”. There was a whole list of awesome ideas I gave them. One, which I’m not sure is politically correct or not, but I’m going to throw it out there. I told our students that if they were having trouble keeping their bandit signs out before the county picked them up they could hire someone to hold their sign for a few hours and possibly hand out some flyers at the same time.
So to prove my point to the students, I went out and put some signs out for marketing our upcoming seminar where we teach people how to buy property without using cash or credit. Anyways, I saw a homeless person on the side of the road asking for some cash. I quickly thought, “what a great idea, I can pay him to hold my sign for me”. I jumped out of the car and handed the guy two bucks and asked him to hold for an hour for me.
By the time I had jumped in the car, I had remembered what our signs said to attract people to call us.. Take a look at the picture… Do you think I’m sending some mixed messages… eck!!!
Creative marketing… Keep your thoughts broad and imagination running wild!
