Getting my hands dirty

I have never been a person who does not mind 'getting my hands dirty' and have just spent the last couple of hours hand delivering one of my latest circulars to roads in close proximity of where I live. It's amazing how many different types and strengths of letter boxes there are. Thank goodness we have some plasters in the house! There also appears to be a large number of dogs who seemingly are on patrol and savage anything which enters their house!

Our main canvass of the area starts tomorrow with the start of several thousand letters being professionally delivered, I hope! Then we just wait for a reaction and phone calls.

Meridian FM has been busy broadcasting my advert four times a day and has started playing round with the timings so that audiences are maximised. I have to be honest and say I think the advert sounds pretty good and well presented however it's results that count and here's hoping for some!

I did whimsically think about hiring some glamorous dancing girls and have them parading up and down East Grinstead high road for PR but people may have got the wrong sort of idea as to the type of company Terry Carr Residential is.

I received a good enquiry from another investor yesterday looking to buy property in East London where a 25% discount can be envisaged but unfortunately the only thing I had in East London was a commercial investment,a shop and upper part in Walthamstow, but the yield was not enough for this gentleman.

My website is getting plenty of hits even at this early stage and I will continue to promote it through the various social media networks.

Our first local media advert has appeared today and the paper has kindly,(not), placed it on the back page of the sales section. It leaves plenty of room for improvement and ultimately needs to be advertising local property. Hopefully our next advert will contain stock and we will get a more prominent position.

The next 14 days should provide an early indication as to progress at Terry Carr Residential, so watch this space.
