Thread: need advice on marketing idea/mobile office.

Hi. I am Tim, a 21 year old who just got my RE license. I had a possible marketing idea and wanted some input as to if people think it would be successful or not. I've always had vehicles to make people turn there heads. In winter '04 I had a truck I did up with 250 holiday lights and drove around town. The following year I did up my Jeep Cherokee with over 1,250 lights, a full size sleigh, lots of decorations, and an external music playing holiday music while going down the road. It attracted tons of attention, and landed me in the newspaper as well as two local parades. I skipped this past holiday '06 so I could save for my biggest project yet. I found a small bus (front of a mid 80-s ford van with 14 foot bus attached). Anyway, I had big plans for this coming winter '07 to use tons of plywood and create a house over the body of the bus. It would be painted and higly detailed, then decorated with lights, etc. I was then thinking, why not try and use this as a marketing tool. I could simply put my name as well as the name of my future broker on the side in vinyl as well as my phone # and an inviting phrase. I could even take it a step further and gut the interior and drywall it, flooring, etc. and turn it into a sort of mobile office. Does this sound too crazy for a prospect home-seller to be interested in? There is certainly nothing like this around and wouldn't it be great if I could show a potential buyer a home, then if interested, they could step in my mobile office and access and/or fill out any paperwork they wish. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, one might think it's not worth the $1k cost to do this, but I was planning on it for the holidays anyway, so why not kill two birds with one stone and then be able to write it off as an expense too!
