We had (2) funtions today. A vendor fair with a large real estate office and a group of 30 home inspectors. The realtors were a direct solicitation, we paid to be in front of them and the turn out was a little lackluster due to there being too many vendors and the space was too small. sowed some seeds (4-8) whatever... The second function was for the northern va chapter of ASHI home inspectors. I was given the spotlight in front of 30-35 people. It was really cool. I explained the origin of Gleo. , shingle manufacturer's, the process, and alot of general info. There were numerous questions, and I felt overall like something had been accomplished. Before i began my presentation i asked if anyone knew what those black streaks were....1 or 2 people knew it was algae, perhaps some others did as well, but I don't think they were confident enouogh to answer. By the end, they all had a much better understanding of our industry, and its position both nationally and locally in NOVA. Maybe I'll get some business from it, but it was rewarding enough to educate and build some awareness in this; our mysterious industry of roof cleaning.

That's fantastic! Every little bit of marketing helps. I hope you get some calls and referrals from your efforts to educate some folks about no-pressure roof cleaning.

I'm sure you'll get some business out of this approach. Realtors and home inspectors deal directly with real estate, which includes properties that have stained roofs. I'm a inspector and see it all the time. Both buyers and sellers of homes and the realtors would much rather hear that the roofs only require cleaning rather than replacement. This is a much cheaper approach than roof replacement and much more desireable in the real estate community. As more inspectors and agents know that a deal can be saved by simply cleaning the roof, than you should be getting more calls. Good job.
Gotta plant dem seeds now to "hep" fill dat funnel later... Gotta take dat Battin practice everyday!!! just like cleaning a roof... it's all bout dat groundwork!!!
That sounds like it might be a good start in a whole lot of educating the right people.
Those people will have a lot of influence with others.
Good Luck.
