Re: Gimmicks to Increase Business - $500 Free Groceries
This is definately not a crackpot scheme but a ligitimate marketing strategy. I've been using this marketing promotion for a few months and can say without a doubt that it has increased my business by at least 5-10 inspections per month. The program is very simple and it's available for gas or groceries... I buy the redemption codes for under $15 each, pass them out to my client at the end of the inspection, they register online to shop at the store of their choice, they shop each month as usual and accumulate at least $100 worth of groceries or gas from that store. At the end of the month they send in their receipts with that months' redemption coupon, in 4-6 weeks they receive a $25 Visa gift card in the mail to use as they wish. It costs the client absolutely nothing and they shop where they normally would but get paid $25 per month to do so. The program is considered a "loyalty reward program" by the merchant. The idea is to have the customer frequent the store every month. I've been using the process myself, and if Publix Supermarkets wants to pay me $25 per month to shop where I would shop anyway, then more power to them. Don't knock something if you don't have all the facts. This is a very effective way to get more business and is just one of the marketing strategies I employ.

I've been a member of Ken Compton's for over a year and can say that his marketing techniques and strategies are exceptional. If, like me, your marketing challenged, then you need to get help from those who excel in it like Ken. My business in certain areas has increased from 31% to over 60% thanks to his guidance. If you're not doing effective and targeted marketing that stands you out from the crowd in this down Real Estate market, then you're missing out on alot of business. I've been inspecting since 1997 and my business in the last two years is way up thanks to Ken, while many inspectors are going out of business. I'm sad for them, but happy to get the business they're making available for me.

Happy Inspecting and stay safe out there.
