Question: What's better than website SEO or advertising?
Answer: Word of mouth
Question: How can you get exposure to a few hundred friends of your customer per report? And free?
Answer: Your HomeGauge uploaded report now adds facebook, Google+, and more! All you do is enter your company's website domain and you could enjoy hundreds of contacts on each inspection you do! It can be set up in 1 minute and you don't need to sign up for facebook or Google+.
More powerful than any other advertising and...it's included as part of HG Services! Watch the video demonstration below:
Market your business now with all agents in your area! Tell them you include video in your reports!
Make a sample report, make it public, and include the link in your email signature.
5 Video Clips to always include on every report! (about 10-20 seconds each)
1. Cover page pan
2. Attic pan
3. Crawlspace pan
4. Filter location and tip
5. Water shut-off location
Marketing TipContact your agents with your new Inspection presentation! Here's a sample email you can edit for your own use:
I just upgraded my inspection report to an "Inspection Presentation!" I can now include video in my inspection report! Also, you can click on the pictures and they will enlarge for better viewing! To add ease in reviewing the report with your client, we also have added a Live Contents Tab that stays visible while you scroll through the report! Other inspectors offer the same old report, but we now offer an Inspection Presentation! Click on this link to see and experience our new report. It is our goal at HBI Inspections to add value to your customer's experience. It is just one more benefit they get when they choose you as their agent when buying or selling their home! See my new Inspection Presentation here.

Tip of the monthAdd a "smart-word" that turns into an entry box for unique data collection. Create an auto-comment that says: The serial number is *freeform* — what happens is the word freeform becomes an entry box for you to type in unique numbers.
Until next time,
