A special thank you from vFlyer to John Lockwood and Elite Properties.

	Name: John Lockwood Company: Elite Properties See vFlyer | See Blog About Company: Elite Properties is a company that has been a leader in using of Internet marketing in the Sacramento area for several years. When we saw vFlyer, we knew that this would be an outstanding addition to our service offerings. How I use vFlyer: For the past several months, I have used vFlyer for all my company’s listings and provide it for my agent’s listings as well. I create thumbnail ads which link to the on-line flier on all my websites. I also use the flyer widget on my blog. I like the fact that vFlyer ads can be pasted into my main blog as well as my ActiveRain Blog, and I especially like that with about ten minutes of effort. I have a flyer that can also be used not only on my blogs, but on Craigslist, Sacramento News and Review (a Backpage sites that vFlyer supports), and that automatically gets syndicated to several other sites as well. What I Like Best: I like vFlyer so much that I recently used it in my online “listing presentation” video, which shows how vFlyer is an integral part of an overall online marketing strategy (Example) One of the interesting statistics from that movie is that during a particular period for one listing of mine, I had 91 hits in the MLS, 230 hits on Realtor.com, and over 1,000 hits on my vFlyer page for that listing. The statistics reports you can get make a great addition to any listing presentation. Usage: vFlyer Star Badge

The vFlyer Star program identifies and recognizes our biggest and most active users, supporters and advocates. Last month we featured Maureen Henry, who runs a successful home staging company in Rockland County, NY, as our first vFlyer Star. This month, we feature Missy Caulk - a tech savvy REALTOR with RE/MAX Platinum in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I initially “ran” into Missy Caulk by following her many posts on the “blogosphere” and soon discovered that she, like Maureen, was a Flyer “superuser,” fan and online cheerleader! When she isn’t busy selling, Missy is generously sharing great tips, advice and information with other agents on the Web!

Here is what Missy has to say about her office:

RE/MAX Platinum is home to great agents, who sell more homes per agent than any other company in the area. We average 11.5 homes per year per agent in sales…Other companies in the area, average only 3 to 7…The Ann Arbor office, is like a big, happy family! We share ideas and don’t try to keep new things to ourselves. It is a positive environment to work in.

Thanks Missy! We appreciate your support.

	Name: Missy Caulk Company: RE/MAX Platinum See vFlyer | See Blog How I use vFlyer: I use vFlyer in several ways: I create a flyer and email it to all the RE/MAX agents to announce a new listing. I create a widget and post it on ActiveRain and Localism so the public can view it, when they are learning about Ann Arbor and Saline. I add comments. I then add it to my widget gallery and it keeps it current and fresh I notify my sellers of the post and send it to anyone else in my community that I feel needs to know about the new listing. I submit it to annarbor.craigslist.org and syndicate it to all the websites vFlyer publishes to. What I like best: I love it, it is so much fun to create professional brochures and be able to email them out. I love the widgets. (I learned all about them here). I was so impressed with the free offer, that I tried it and felt it was well worth investing in the product for one year. Now, I can create as many as I want. I have referred it out to everyone who asks “How did you do that?” I also use the vFlyer PDF in my homes instead of the boring MLS data sheet. One important thing - maybe the most important - is that the support is excellent. Someone gets right back to me. Once I sent a email and immediately, I got a call back. I mean within seconds of clicking “send”. Usage: vFlyer Star Badge
