As an extra bonus, if your camera has the function to record, each room you enter do a quick pan shot of the room and burn it to a disc and present it with the report. You should use discretion with this, like only taping houses that are empty. You can also put the report on the disc. Of course you should print your company info on the disc and jacket.

Drawings for TV's and other things for past customers. Just make sure you get you company info on anything you give away.

I got one for before, during and after.

Yard signs with your company info, get with your realtors and ask to put them in the yards before and during an inspection. Then ask the client, after they purchase the house if you may put one in the yard for a few weeks.

Thanks for the idea.  I have actually bee looking into them a little.  I went ahead and put it under "after inspection" as I think that's the point when its going to work for us inspectors.  Also, I wanted to point out that in my own research, larger signs are just too expensive to put in yards.  I'm currently waiting on a price quote for little yard flags.  I'm also asking around about these things and am finding women tend to notice yard signs and flags more than men do.  If that's truly the case you will want to design something that gears towards women but still acceptable for men!!!!

Damn.... How much profit are you making with your business?  I may just have to move into your area! 

Ya, the signs don't need to be real big. You can get some plastic board and have vynil letters and logos printed up, attach them to some sturdy legs and vwola!

Hek if need, or want to do a lot of decal printing a plot printer runs about $2,000.00, do all your own decals and may be some for other companies.

A TV was just an example, it can be anything and you only need to do it once a year. Plus it all gets written off.

Another good idea for your business and for your self is to talk to a financial advisor, best thing I ever did.
