According to the NAR, homebuyers rank “yard signs” as the number two source of
information when shoppping for a home – with the number one source being the real estate agent
themselves.
You’ve heard of talking signs, 800-number sign riders, brochure boxes (attached to the signs) right?
Enter the “sell while you sleep” sign. It’s a solar-powered LED lighted real estate sign and late last
year, several companies rushed to the market with solar powered lighting systems.
www.RealTLite.com is one of the original companies, but since then, hundreds of companies sell (and
lease) them.
As daylight is in short supply in the fall and winter, the lighted yard signs could be your competitive
edge in your listing presentation package. Since it’s solar-powered, it emits only low levels of light so
it won’t light up the neighborhood – or interfere with sleeptime.
Latest Fashion Trend – Wearing Your Listings!
For years, celebrities and sports figures have used clothing to promote themselves; nightclubs and restaurants
(think Hard Rock Café); their favorite team or charitable event. Maria Gomez (Keller-Williams in Florida) has
taken it to a new level – “why not use a t-shirt to promote one of the most valuable assets in an individuals life –
their home!”
Wait, before you say to yourself, “I’d never do that,” she claims to have sold a $1.2 million dollar property when
a developer saw her wearing the t-shirt and asked for more information. She has estimated that her daily
contact with individuals through meetings, going to the grocery store, the movies, washing the car and even
walking down the street, that an average of 500 people (on a slow day) and 1,500 people (on a busy day) see
her listings.
On the t-shirt, she highlights the home with a picture of the property, a detailed property description, price, her
contact information and website address.
She also uses different colored t-shirts depending on the property for vacant land, condos, and single-family
home and luxury listings. For example, promoting a home $1M or more warrants a “gold” colored t-shirt.
Gomez looks at herself as a walking billboard. This new form of real estate advertising is cost effective too.
While she creates her t-shirts at home in less than an hour, online websites such as www.SnapFish.com can print
anything on the t-shirt for you for about $12.00 and ship to you the next day.
Want to double your listing’s exposure? Give t-shirts to the seller to wear!

Are Your Sales & Marketing Efforts Female-Friendly?
Statistics on the power of women in today’s marketplace are astounding. According to Michele
Miller, Wizard of Ads’ partner, ponder this:
Women are either directly (or indirectly) responsible for 80 cents on the dollar spent,
including real estate, stocks, computers and cars.
The number of workingwomen is about 60 million – and growing!
One out of every 11 women are starting their own businesses – and they start their new
ventures from home.
57% of single women own their own home.
Women dominate the Internet, utilizing it as a tool to gather information and connect with
others.
If women are pleased with products or services, they are 50 percent more likely to refer you
– versus men.
Based on the statistics outlined above, take a look at your ads, brochures and marketing pieces to
determine if they are female-friendly – and we are not talking about the “cute as a button” type of
advertising either.
Here is a suggestion:
Real Estate Ads – Create a “display ad” with the headline that says:
“What are you waiting for?”
57% of all single women own their own homes.
You can too.
And I can help.

JOKE of the Month:
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen."
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes,
fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at
the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to
do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper,
he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he
managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: "Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's
being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
