What are your prices for printing? Do you do mailing as well? Do you do signs? Once I have paid the license fee what happens next? A: The first thing that will happen is we will send your package to our team of designers to be “fulfilled”. In this process we will replace all the filler data with your personal information including name, picture, and contact information. You will also, depending on your package, have the option to change out photos, text or other pieces to further customize your look. > Back to Top How long does the “fulfillment” process take? A: Each template is different, some require a lot of customizing including long bios or other personal information others do not. Although every fulfillment process is different, as a rule once we have ALL of your information it takes about 2 weeks to get everything input and formatted to your needs. > Back to Top What Can I change on an ADvantage branding package? A: As a rule, you can change the fonts, the colors, or other basic reformatting during the Fulfillment process. Based on the package you choose you may be able to change pictures, backgrounds or other elements. If you see things you are planning on changing please ask you sales representative prior to purchasing the ADvantage branding system. > Back to Top Do I have to provide you all the information every time I need something? A: No. This system is designed to reduce your work load, while at the same time increase the effectiveness of your dollars. Every agent puts their information on the MLS. We access this information and use it to populate the pieces. > Back to Top What if I do not want the MLS data in the pieces? A: It is important for ADvantage clients to realize that the value of this system is not limited to the ability to have superior marketing materials. One of the major benefits of our system is the reduction of time spent doing tasks that ultimately do not directly affect your ability to sell homes. Most people just change the way they write the data on the MLS and find that the time savings far outweigh the idea of customized verbiage. > Back to Top What if I want to change the look down the road? A: Change is good if it is part of a plan. Consistent "tweaking" or modifying of a look can result in frustration, unwanted expense, and ineffectiveness. The one incontrovertible key to marketing is consistency. It is the foundation that this system is built on, it is what makes the phone ring and what puts you in the front of the minds of potential clients. It has been proven to work over and over. Even bad marketing when used consistently is more effective than the best marketing used inconsistently. Imagine how effective good, consistent marketing will be for you. > Back to Top What is your turn around time for new flyers, post cards and other printed materials? A: From the time that we have all the information we need the turnaround time is 3 business days. For scheduled events such as farming or database contacts we will have them ready for you on the specified day (or the next business day if it falls on a holiday or weekend). > Back to Top What are your hours? A: Our office is open Monday-Friday 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM PST, except holidays. > Back to Top What if the ADvantage Branding System does not work for me? A: At any time you would like to stop using our services, or you believe that we are not positively impacting your ability to succeed in the real estate industry simply tell us and we will cancel your implementation plan and release you from your contract with no further obligations. > Back to Top What is your website address? A: www.branding-re.com > Back to Top What do the Advantage Branding Systems Cost? A: The standard license agreement is $3499 onetime fee with a $199 a year annual renewal cost. > Back to Top What is a license agreement? A: You can download one on the website to look at. If you have additional questions I can have a sales person call you. > Back to Top What if I have a look that I already use? A: We can incorporate that look into an advantage branding system for you. You will need to talk to a sales representative to get further clarification. > Back to Top How long does the process take? A: Usually about 2 weeks once you have the things we need from you which include: photo, contact information, logo, company information, etc. > Back to Top Do you offer individual services, (ala cart) of do you have to do it all at once? A: No we do not offer ala cart branding services at this time. > Back to Top Where is the company based out of? A: Palm Desert California is where the Printing is done, however we have sales representatives throughout the United States. > Back to Top How do I choose a look? A: You can choose a look by viewing our website and clicking on the Advantage Tab. It will ask you for your zip code so you are viewing only packages that are available in your area. You can then choose a look or find information on how to be put on a list to receive new looks or learn about the Unique Brand Creation of UBC program. > Back to Top What is UBC? A: UBC stands for Unique Brand Creation. It is where we offer our products and services to people who are looking to build a look from scratch and not use an existing template. > Back to Top What is fulfillment? A: Fulfillment is the process of taking the template that you chose from the site and working with a designer to customize the look to your taste and your needs. > Back to Top Do you do websites? A: Yes, a website is an integral part of the Advantage Branding Systems. > Back to Top Are there additional costs for website hosting? A: Yes, currently our monthly hosting charge is $29.99 > Back to Top What is Web to Print? A: Web to print is where we take the look you have customized through the fulfillment process and make it available online for you to order all of your collateral materials. > Back to Top Will (insert company name here (Windermere, re-max, Coldwell Banker, ect.)) allow me to do this.? A: Yes, most companies allow you to build your own branding campaigns as long as you conform to local, regional and national laws as well as corporate guidelines. One of the steps in the creation process is to get the signoff from your broker that you have met all of those guidelines and so they have an opportunity to discuss any changes they may want in order to meet company policies. We have yet to have a company refuse to let an agent use Advantage products or services. > Back to Top What are your prices for printing? A: We will be happy to send you a current price list. What is your mailing address? > Back to Top Do you do mailing as well? A: Yes, we offer truly one stop shopping. We offer a full service print, ship, mail solution that allows you to upload your mailing list at the same time that you order printing. > Back to Top Do you do signs? A: Currently we do not offer signs however we will help you customize signs so they more accurately reflect your new brand. > Back to Top
