I had dinner with an owner that felt he was ripped off. Didn't have one good thing to say. However I have several acquaintances that swear by them and have been members from the beginning.

I think it has more to do with where you are now and what your goals are. Will you implement what you buy, and what is the competition currently doing.

I just need the marketing materials. It's as simple as that.

I’d talk with Rob Lyon about his experience. He was with them when he owned his business in PA. I can’t remember his experience but he sold the business so I think he could you know how it worked out for him. He’s consulting in the industry now.
908-357-9945

I remember Rob talking favorably about them years ago.

Getting cold feet on the More Floods thing. I don't believe I want to commit to a 3 year deal. Contacted a local design company to get some marketing materials of my own.

I’d still check With Rob Lyon. I believe he has developed marketing materials already they you can purchase and customize for your business. I’m not sure what he offers, but worth taking a look into.

But if you have the time and are creative then I’d go for it. If you don’t get what you want, then next year signup with MoreFloods.
Doing it yourself is easy but it takes time and dedication. That’s the main reason why most people choose someone else to do it for them.

Stock images can be bought and you can take high rez shots of your vehicles, crews, equipment and job sites.

I would design a years’ worth at a time. List 12 ideas then compose a couple of lines of text for the 12 pieces. Find 12 images you want to use and give this to your designer. The following year get new images, use the same text.

However that isn’t going to compete with what you would get with MoreFloods. They have been at it a while and have many marketing angles figured out. So don’t just rely on your cards to bring in work.

Who are your targets? What is the best way to reach them? What frequency of contact are you planning? Budget? Personal contact? Electronic? SEO? Social Media? Snail mail? Radio? TV? Newspaper (print or electronic)? Lots of great ways to blow money!

Um, one thing at a time, Richard. The whole subject is overwhelming enough as it is. But marketing really is the biggest part of the pie. You can get all dressed up, but if there's nowhere to go you're fooked!

Yes.
There is no way of avoiding water damage as a property owner. Ice makers, dishwashers, washing machine, sink or sinks, toilets, tub, hot water heater, sump pump, water spigot. It's going to happen at some point, but it's numbers.

The more households, buildings increase the opportunity from shear numbers. You can market all you want but it's the incident that triggers a need for service. You'll need the population to drive consistent business.
