Do You Check for Recalls of Furnaces or Water Heaters?

I don’t need to take a ‘dump’ to know it’s gonna smell! :shock:

No, I have not looked to see if appliances have recalls on them. I have always thought making sure the appliance is properly working, not having any gas leaks and not emitting CO2. Makes me curious now. Definetely thinking about getting a recall list together now. What do you guys think?

Great question :slight_smile:

Apparently many here don’t. They just blindly follow. :neutral:

Nathan,

If I am reading your post correctly you are under the misimpression that We Make It Safer does not monitor the consumers inventory and report on recalls if they occur in the future. I’m not sure where you got that misinformation from, but We Make It Safer actually does this and provides up to a weekly (I thought it bi-weekly but was mistaken) newsletter with the status of all items in the consumers inventory. That also includes any items that have a new recall issued on them.

You are correct that the We Make It Safer newsletter does not put your name in front of the consumer every time it is sent out. That is contrary to their privacy policies and that they do not use the service to SPAM consumers. The service is intended to get consumers more involved and interested in making sure they do find ALL recalled items they own and not just the few appliances the other recall check service claims to provide. If you feel that it is important to market your company and services over motivating consumers to get involved and find their recalled products then speak with the We Make It Safer Team and offer a suggestion how to do this without violating the consumers privacy.

Another possibility to market your business is to use the We Make It Safer service by getting your clients involved. When they see how much superior this service is to anything else out there, and that it really is FREE, then you will gain quite a bit more respect and consideration from the client. You can easily follow-up with an email service just as John Onofrey’s Home Hints eNews (http://www.homehintsenews.com/) and it will be greeted with greater anticipation by the client. If I was in the market for a paid newsletter service there is no doubt John’s is the one I would be using. It is an exceptionally well produced newsletter. There is no secret that if you gain the trust and respect of your client that is a connection that is hard to break. That alone results in your name being passed around even more!

So Nathan’s newsletter that provides helpful information and monitoring is SPAM, but HomeHints is OK.

That’s awesome! :slight_smile:

I use both so at least I’m getting it half right :slight_smile:

Troy anything they use is OK…what you use is WRONG!

Get with the times

Did you have a drink for me too? :roll:

I don’t drink, high on life. Try it sometime. Being happy with life leads to a ton of laughing, smiling and being thankful with what I have.

Or I could be like you, miserable, condesending, traitor to my country, find wrong in everything…but I’d rather not.

You be you and i will be me and life will continue. Good luck, and be yourself.

I get plenty of laughs right here. Many at your expense.:slight_smile:

Thanks

No problem… Laugh away!

Mike, just a question.

Don’t you find it odd that someone would consider HomeHints as useful information, but similar style information with recall updates as SPAM?

Troy stop spinning the information.

SPIN SPIN SPIN…Stop it already.

Anytime you say something and I can’t intelligently counter comment, its SPIN. Spin away…Next your going to say something like you have only been doing this a couple years and nearing the 100K a year…SPIN SPIN SPIN…

Where you guys come up with this stuff is beyond me.

If Troy’s question was addressed to me, I don’t use home hints either.

An example newsletter of Home Hints eNews is made public here http://www.homehintsenews.com/sample.html so that anyone who wishes to use this service can see the high quality of the newsletter. As can be seen in the sample Home Hints eNews newsletter the vast portion of the page is dedicated to news, tips, and facts with a much smaller portion for advertising. This is an exceptional method to keep a businesses name in front of clients. Any newsletter that spends most of its page space in advertising, and little to nothing informative, is obviously intended as nothing more or different than a door flyer advertising products. If someone can post an actual copy of the newsletters they are talking about that would help others to make their own determination as to the quality of the newsletter as compared to others they might be considering. It is not clear why if a company has a supposed great newsletter that they won’t post copies in the public view for the consumers even to see before they buy their product? Would that not be part of allowing a consumer to see what it is they are paying for?

With the We Make It Safer newsletter there is no advertising at all of anything other than We Make It Safer that I have seen so far. Instead it is geared towards providing a status update on the consumers products they have in their inventory and other tips of interest. In their case they are working to keep the consumer view oriented to the consumer to help them control their items and identify recalls. As a consumer myself I can see the value of that approach as the more advertising you put in a newsletter the less it would be found acceptable and the less it would be read.

When you answer all questions asked, I will start, deal?

You are still dancing and once again discrediting those HIs who won’t play your game.
