Joe's Occasional Comments
Communications in new home Customer Service including homeowner's manuals, communications forms, and direct mail programs.

We have produced homeowner manuals for more than 375 builders and developers. We offer a full range of manuals including 3-ring binders, perfect bound, spiral bound and other formats. Our innovative production methods permit our clients to order small quantities of manuals so obsolescence and waste are eliminated. Changes in copy and layout can be made with every order and at no charge.

The homeowners manual is the key to controlling the post sale environment. Properly done, homeowners manuals are read and used by homeowners.

Producing a custom homeowners manual includes these steps:

  • A one or two day visit to your company to become familiar with
    your staff, your specific problems and your style. The result of this meeting is a Policy and Procedures document - this becomes the basis of the homeowners manual.
  • Copy development and draft approval - usually from three to six weeks.
    We produce a first draft and submit it for review and approval. This
    approval process continues until our client has approved a final draft.
    There is no limit to the number of drafts and changes. The first draft
    contains our extensive information on key subjects so our clients
    benefit from our 16 years of experience.
  • Layout, type and artwork development and approval - usually from
    two to three weeks. We use state-of-the-art graphics and layout to
    create unique and interesting manuals
  • Production - this can take from one week to four weeks depending
    on the format that is chosen. Most of our clients use our custom three
    ring binders and Mylar coated tabs for a professional appearance.
    Our system includes stocking the long lead time items such as binders
    and tabs in our insured storage - most clients order about one year's
    supply of these items. The enables our clients to order in small
    quantities - usually 25 to 50 manuals. We produce and ship the
    orders within ten days. Small orders eliminate waste and permit
    changes with each order so the manuals are up to date and
    accurate at all times. Waste is eliminated.
  • Reorders ship in one week to ten days.
  • We maintain an extensive library of proven effective multi-part forms
    and other communications documents for new home Customer Service.
    More than 200 national clients rely on our homeowners manuals.
