By the way, the guy who brought us one, put apples in it instead of donuts. Though I may rather have had the donuts, the apples were a nice gesture too!

Aimee,
It is hard to tell just from a picture! Can you send five of them overnight complete with a variety dozen donuts in each?? Need to feel the heft after fill and when emptied!  
It is a very good idea instead of just dropping off a dozen "Fat Pills" to a Realtor Office. But instead of an entire box, how about some type of sticker that says: Courtesy of "your name here" and NACHI, or something to that effect? The sticker would no doubt be much less expensive and could be placed on boxes or bags of donuts, bagels, kolachis or any number of things, including publications, competing association members automobiles .

Aimee, do the two arcs that I see drawn on the top of the box, (the part of the top that is upside down), represent a place to insert a business card? If so, good! If they don’t, I’d suggest doing that.
Someone above posted that they thought it was a little busy, perhaps. This past Sunday, however, I ran into an inspector at realtor's open houses that had a box like this, and it had just as much information about his franchise, but really didn't come across as busy. It got my attention.
It did have a place to insert a business card in the top of the box, so that it appeared very prominent when the box was set down on a table.

Few people seem to agree that pointing out weaknesses in others only tends to belittle the one doing the pointing. I, for one, would like to see that whole phrase stricken from the NACHI site.
We could do more good for ourselves - individually, as an organization, and as a profession - to replace all negative fingerpointing with positive points.
Think about political races - aren't they just sickening, with all the mud-slinging? It just gets to be a point of honor, honorability, and integrity.
Ooops, my soapbox is cracking. better skip a few snacks.

What about if we used this in conjunction with the Hon. Mr. Ray’s open house survival kit.
Bring a dozen donuts or apples or candy bars or balloons or matzo balls or barbecued ribs or whatever (food would be best) and drop it off at an open house right as it begins. The Realtor will like it because she (he) has something to eat and the prospects will like it because they will eat it as well when the Realtor puts it out with the coffee or MLS listing or whatever.
In this way, we can feed my master plan to get to the point where we can bypass the Realtor altogether and get to the client BEFORE the realtor and therefor be in a position to refer clients ot Realtors instead of the other way around and this will be the first step in my mster plan to take over the world/ Mahhhhhaaaaa!

Hi Aimee,
I'd drop the part about a qualified inspector and find another tag line, joke or something to put there. Afterall, who wants to read a box of donuts? It's not a cereal box.

Aimee…the Inspected Once slogan looks like an after thought…this needs to have a better font.
Also just get the boxe...they are not going to spend time reading it as much as tearing it apart to get to the goodies...that is what they will remember.
