I thought about going to Walmart, to the for sale by owner signs and putting stickers on the back stating that I buy houses, I pay cash and close fast or something like that. I just wonder how much trouble I would get into if I got caught?
Does this sound like a good idea or like a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Thanks, Weldon
NO, NO, NO . they will call you at the number listed on the sticker and have you come in and pay for all the signs that you damaged.
I was just thinking of doing the same thing, only making sure my sticker had an adhesive that would allow it to peel off easily. That way, the sign wouldn’t get damaged. Maybe at a smaller store, you could speak with the owner, put stickers on his signs in exchange for a bird dog fee?
I think you would be asking for trouble doing that, especially with a giant company like Walmart.
OK! So bad idea! :-[
Maybe I will just put a sticker on my forehead and walk around in a shopping mall :PThat should get peoples attention!
Why not get a tshirt with that printed on it? Advertising all day long while you are wearing it!
Have you heard of those models who will let you advertise on their bodies or something. Maybe I could get an advertisement in a disclosed area, then some pervert going into preforeclosure, sitting on the john reading his book will call me up. Ha! Ha! Just Joking!
Maybe I should stick to postcards and newspaper ads.
Just trying to be creative in my marketing.
I have learned a lot from this Marketing forum. Thanks all!
Why not to get to know good REALTOR, like me I am in Tampa area, Spring Hill. Realtor has a lot leads not only for MLS. FSBO and people before forecl. and with sink holes and all kind of houses, exp. from MLS who is mad with all Realtors etc. Just realtor hase to be creative! ;D If anybody need help in my area, just let me know. I could be very creative.
I put my advertising pens near the signs. I also put my pens on the end caps of the sales isles in Wally World, the big grocery stores, the building supply stores and the tops of the pumps in our busiest gas station.
In the building suppley, put the pens in the carpet, tile, vanities and wallpaper paint areas.
The reason is this: The women are usually in this area and are looking to redo their home. Advertising that you buy and sell homes, might make them want to sell their home or buy one instead of fixing the old one.
I started doing this last September and have sold one house because of it. Not bad.
