Popular BOGO Sales Strategy Now Entering Real Estate Market
Phoenix, AZ (ContentDesk) August 15, 2005 -- With so many retailers enticing customers with "buy one get one free" offers, it was only a matter of time before the concept found a permanent home in real estate.
"It's an idea whose time had come," states Kelly Pool, co-founder with husband Dan of Two4One Real Estate, a budding new franchise system based in Phoenix, Arizona.
Though seemingly radical in nature, the idea itself is both simple and straightforward according to Pool.
"If a client will commit to buying their next home through us, we will sell their current home for free." Selling the home for free means the company waives their listing commission, which can often run in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars.
"We've had some clients save as much as $15,000 on the sale of their existing home, so that really adds to the word of mouth," states Pool.While the strategy works great for homeowners, it appears to make sense for real estate agents as well, say co-owner Dan Pool.
"By selling our clients homes for free, we pick up a greater share of the market's listings. It also creates an instant client base of qualified buyers, so the system drives itself and generates an increased sales volume."While working for less doesn't mean earning less, it also doesn't mean cutting service.
"We are a 100% full service real estate agency," Pool contends. "All of our listing are placed in the MLS and we never cut the buyer's agent commission.
The discounts we offer are all on our side of the table, so that way everyone stays happy." Happy is a good way to describe Randy and Sistine Castellini.
The pair was one of the first Two4One franchisees to get started.
With the system in place, they produced a 100% increase in net income their first year.Word of the concept has spread fast. The franchise, which opened in January of 2004, now has five offices in Arizona, with several more slated to open in the next few months. The company also plans to expand nationally by awarding regional territories this fall. Asked if he was concerned that others might try to copy his program, Pool expressed confidence.
"We developed the concept, but more importantly, we own the name. Anyone looking to get a two for one deal will automatically think of Two4One Real Estate."With the trend spreading quickly the sure winner will be consumers, as more and more savvy homeowners look to retain equity when they sell their homes.
"It makes sense for homeowners to carry as much of their equity forward into their new homes as possible," Pool continues, "and it makes just as much sense to have a business model that keeps the sales pipeline full at all times."Buy one/get one may come and go at the grocer, but from all appearances, it's found a new home in real estate..

Small Counter-Current Swimming Pool Brings Joy and Healing to Special Needs Child
Aston, PA (ContentDesk) December 1, 2005 -- For most children, playing in the water is just one of their many joys.
For three-year-old Rowan Lindley-Harker, swimming is much more.
It is therapy, exercise, and her main source of joy, freedom, and stimulation. Three years ago, the Harker family was enjoying the arrival of their daughter Rowan.
However, just four days later tragedy struck when a car accident left Rowan with brain damage and two dislocated hips.
Due to her injuries, Rowan was not able to move her torso for the first ten months of her life.
This meant that she could not develop as a normal child does.
By the time she was able to begin moving, her body had grown, but her muscle development had not kept pace, making learning to move very difficult.
Hydrotherapy greatly improved Rowans life.
In the water, Rowan can move freely and build muscle tone painlessly.
Still, even finding the right environment...

Casino Craps - Easy to Play and Easy to Win
Craps is the fastest - and certainly the loudest - game in the casino. With the big, colorful table, chips flying everywhere and players yelling, it's exiting to watch and exciting to play. Craps also has the one of the lowest house edges against you of any casino game, but only if you make the right bets. In fact, with one type of bet (which you will soon learn) you play even with the house, meaning that the house has a zero edge. This is the only casino game where this is true.
THE TABLE LAYOUT The craps table is slightly larger than a standard pool table, with a wood railing that goes around the outside edge. This railing acts as a backboard for the dice to be thrown against and is sponge-lined on the inside with random patterns so that the dice bounce randomly. Most table rails also have grooves on top where you can place your chips. The table surface is a tight fitting green felt with designs to indicate all the various bets that can be made in craps. It's very confusing...

Inkjet Printers ? The benefits for you.
Inkjet Printers ? The benefits for you.
There are several different types of printers on the market today, but the inkjet printer is the dominant force. This is largely to do with inkjet printers being the more affordable option while still being able to produce a good quality output.
It may interest you to know that printer manufacturers do not actually make any profit or sometimes very little profit on the printers they sell. At first this probably sounds crazy,...
