Texas Monthly Bbq List
Turning around a mobile home park, it is necessary to bring in mobile homes and sell them. It is very important to get your message to the public to let them know that you have affordable housing in the park and is very easy terms and down payment and monthly payments so they can achieve the American dream to buy and own their own home.
One way to market and promote your park to sell homes is to use a poster that will give more exposure to persons familiar with your property. We put barriers in Texas to increase exposure of three mobile home parks, we have in a small city of 100,000 inhabitants.
You can also use door hangers and flyers. A really good goal for door hangers are apartment complexes. Hanging the door hangers on doors and flats of people will tell you that for the same price or less that are renting an apartment, they could go ahead and buy a mobile home. You can also put flyers on cars in malls occupied. These are two of the best ways to make door hangers and flyers.
Bandit signs are a useful way to advertise and sell too. Bandit signs come in 18 "x 24" or 12 "x 18" sizes. They are inexpensive (about $ 1.00 to 3.00 for each Sign) and are intended to provide a busy road or tied to stakes. By placing signs along the road leading into the park and the main traffic areas in the city, you let people know that affordable housing has on your mobile home park. Be sure and contact your local city or county to know the rules on bandit signs (and signs of real estate). In a city that we have a mobile home park, only allowed to sign bandit Friday from 17:00 until Sunday at midnight. In another mobile home park, the only city that will allow us to draw a maximum of 5 samples the villain in a given time.
Print "Gift Certificates" (which resembles a real gift certificate) has worked very well for us. We will offer gift certificates and $ 500 to work for the company, or in bulletin boards or in the dining room. You can also give gift certificates individually. We also with local cities, counties, state offices and professional organizations to include a $ 500 gift certificate to purchase a house in the benefits package from their employer.
Our fleet managers are also required to visit the local mobile home dealers and ask the manager to give a gift voucher of $ 500 to anyone who is not eligible for funding from the dealer of recreational vehicles. Most time we can provide seller financing because our qualification requirements are probably easier for buyers to qualify then the LDC Park mobile homes. We're the manager of the concession of mobile homes $ 300 – $ 500 per home sold in reference to a buyer from us.
Another tool for successfully marketing brochure boxes in front of each mobile home in the list of all benefits and details of the mobile home itself. Thus if someone comes after hours or on weekends can get all the information, so if you're interested you can contact the phone number of the brochure in the box. This tactic worked well in our mobile home parks.
We ensure that all houses for sale has a 18 "x 24 "For Sale" in the window to let potential owners know that the house is for sale. Signs are about $ 5.00 – $ 10.00 per sign (according amount / logos / number of colors) and are very effective. We use a bright color like red to attract the attention of people passing by the mobile home sale.
Let the residents can receive one month of free rent of a lot or big bonuses (We paid $ 300) for any person who buys a house that is called by the resident works exceptionally well. Also mention the premium newsletter hangers monthly news and pamphlets door / all residents in a quarterly basis.
You can also get more visibility for your park organization mobile home for a barbecue or sponsor a sale of parking garage in front. It might be good to provide children jumping machine or something where children have toys to play. The sky is the limit for events you can plan to get more exposure for your mobile home park.
Another method is to try to use television and radio. In West Texas, bought ads for 30-second TV also little as $ 1 to $ 5 per item. (The $ 5 was actually a national television and spent more than $ 1 for local cable station.) Which worked well for the exhibition. Radio spots are a reasonable price for maximum exposure for your site must be released per unit time (06h00-8: 00 and 16:00-18:00).
However, the most profitable and the results are obtained by placing classified ads Thrifty Nickel, Greensheet and Pennysaver. The cost is about $ 5 to $ 15 per ad of the week. You can place classified ads on the game rental apartments. "Most people looking for apartments for rent are very good candidates to buy a mobile home, because for the same price as are renting an apartment, you can owning your own home. You can also place ads in "Mobile Homes for Sale."
