One company I work with is dropping its option fees way down... to 1 month's rent... because the goal is to eventually sell the property (tenant executes the L/O) vs. generate bitter customers at the gain of a little extra revenue.

We've actually got a customized site together to handle that traffic because we'll run 5-day sales just to replenish our buyers list when thing seem like they're thinning out.One thing we've noticed is that using the internet works much better for finding buyers than it does when it comes to generating seller leads.

here's an idea *evil grin* why not create credit for other countries and sell them things they don't need at high retail prices that will decline in value, then they will have to pay interest (after qualifying the customers of course). and also buy high profit investments worldwide (mainly cash producing ones that increase in value), particularly businesses with low overhead and start-up/acquisition costs. might it tip the scales more in our favour if we stopped being the ones spending and started being the ones investing, as a country?

DIRECT MAIL MARKETING...I send out a newsletter to past customers.

Interfax. you get a 866 fax number, to send and receive. about $12 a month, and you buy "packs" of faxes @ 50-100-250-1000 at a time. its about 6 cents a fax at the lowest, and I think 2-3 cents at the highest. works great with gmail, and they have customization inputs, for your faxes. they also have a working forum, which is a huge plus these days.

My consulting firm is..the customer is always right and my job is not finished until it is perfect at whatever cost….but I have excellent profit margins with these customers.
