Deuce 1 #1 August 27, 2005 OK, I'm a realtor as my day job. The marketing folks all tell me that I need to exploit my skydiverness to get prospects. I always feel wierd while wearing a tie telling people that I am a skydiving instructor. It has almost always been well recieved, though. My most recent listing is from a traditional Muslim family. They fire their first agent, and hire me. In the process I tell them that on the weekends I teach skydiving. Whoops (I think), Abdul (the 70-something patriarch) is going to tell me I have obligations to my family, I should not be taking risks, etc.... Instead, he smiles grandly and tells me he thinks I have it all together. That I have a balance between work, family, and my hobby. I do too, but I was surprised to hear it from this 70 year old professor of agricultural science. What do you think about some slogans for a Realtor who is a skydiving instructor? I was thinking of me attached to a tandem with the slogan: "Don't hook up with an idiot Realtor" but I figure I would get busted by the Realtor Ethics Police. A "real" marketing/PR firm charges on the order of 10 to 20 grand for something like this, but I think you guys can out-do the for bandwidth. Thanks. Here's a couple of possibilities. How would you caption them in a way that would attract people to call me about there real estate needs? I'm completely ready for the crackpot responses, but some real ones would be appreciated.

LouDiamond 1 #4 August 27, 2005 How about: "when you decide to take that leap and buy a house with ( X company, Jp kelly, whatever) you're not alone, I/we will be right there behind you the whole way until you're back on the ground and in your house." That will be $5.00 or another container of that volcanic party mix you sent to me when I was in Afghanistan "It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyangel2 2 #8 August 27, 2005 That is too long. It needs to be simple for people like me that have a short attention span. What about: I'll do anything to help put you in your dream house. May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
