We are writing to the loyal Real Estate Brokers who we have staged homes for in the last few years to ask for your support. A number of us in the Portland Professional Staging (ASP) business did a non informal poll regarding wet and soggy Real Estate marketing flyers that are many times stuck together and a hassle to retrieve out of the plastic display boxes.

As the Real Estate industry often stresses, the first impression is the key factor in selling your listings. Typically, a potential buyer has made up their mind ten seconds while sitting in the properties driveway! That really doesn’t leave too much room for fault.

We have designed a new product called the “FLYER VISOR” It is a small, light weight, clear plastic product that hugs the sign post directly below the “For Sale” sign and directly above the plastic display flyer box. The concept and function is to keep the flyers dry and less soggy. Regardless of any weighted or spring loaded box lids, the boxes “DO NOT” keep the flyers dry. Many times the brochures are left hanging out of the boxes and all the supply is ruined with wet climates. Saving many lost marketing dollars on thrown out flyers is our motive. The potential customers only drive by once…Give them the opportunity to read your marketing flyer dry!

Enclosed is a PDF File with recent blogs about the Flyer boxes in general which we believe is very relevant. There is also a nice photo showing the “Flyer Visor” in action!

The cost of each of the “FLYER VISORS” depends on the quantity! We are asking if you will consider purchasing a minimum of five to get our first production order off and running. We will install your first one to the listing of your choice!! They really look TERRIFIC!!!

Thank you in advance for being a part of innovation that helps raise positive emotion in addition to value and promoting functionality for marketing within the Real Estate profession.

We want you to know that we are prepared to give 110% as professional Stagers and design consultants and to provide you with that extra element as well as every possible option to help sell your properties.

As of November 30th, 2008 we are on our way to giving The Real Estate World the newest invention of the decade. It's called the "Flyer Visor". Designed for the Real Estate Industry to help protect Brochures and Flyers from the rain and snow melt. Made of tough PLASTIC it fits tightly around the (4"x 4") sign post. The idea was sparked by continuous complaints from home buyers and sellers tired of the wet soggy flyers that are illegible, stick together and are difficult to get back inside the box. Regardless of the box design, weighted lids and all... the flyers are wet and marketing dollars are wasted. Listed below, are a few samples of the ongoing wet flyer saga. Well, click on the link below and see our Patent Pending design.
