We are in a small town and we only have an Ace and True Value. They recently put in a DIY Home center. No big box in my area. Ace is a great place for my clients.
Still waiting on the news about Hd or lowes card that Ben started a thread on?
Good 'ol Lou Manferdini is you “Ace Helpful Hardware Man” with a #1 show!

Way to go Nick and Ace, where can I get one? Please send me one if you can.
Nick - You the guy.
When it gets going like to get on it …
Guys-You have been working on this kind of partnership for a long while. Cudos. It has paid off big time. Things like this make life great .Don Miceli
Lol, Thats a good one about Connies age! Keep us posted this sounds like a great program. And what better way to drum up some bussness for the home inprovement sector
Our North Carolina home inspector organization offered them several years ago. We did have to print them off on our computer for them, but the customers appreciated them. Our state organization stopped the program and I thought it was a mistake. Way to go Nick!
One has to wonder what the plan for distribution is though. Assuming 7500 members, that’s less than 1 card per member. As great as I think this program is and can be, 1 card per member isn’t going to do a hell of a lot for business.
Just sayin’.
According to the ACE store locater, there are 23 ACE hardware stores within a 50 mile radius of me!
This is only the pilot. Then we roll it out big time nationally.
Yes, EIGHT of them.
Yes
Yes
ETA on when this will start and how do we apply for them?
We run the pilot with the first 7500 in December. Then go national in Feb.
ACE is running ads in their circulars which get mailed to millions. The ads promote annual inspections by InterNACHI members. As soon as they are published, I’ll scan and post them here. They will also be available in all their stores.
Can’t wait for further details. But I suppose I’ll have to.
Well then, I’ll take a $15.50 Ace Card…
Jeff, if Nick doesn’t delete this thread soon, the cards will be for $5.50 each–
After the pilot, and after we launch nationally… we have this coming next: www.GiftsFromYourInspector.com
You’re certainly full of good ideas Nick, you should be very proud of what you have accomplished in the last 10-12 years.
It was my pleasure to finally meet you and Ben in Las Vegas…keep up the good work…!
Your certainly helping new inspectors get their feet of the ground.
I have a meeting with Macy’s tomorrow.
Macy’s…huh…should be another 10,000 thread post, try Budweiser instead.
