Enterprise Network members,

I come to you today with an important challenge. At this year’s Active Enterprise Network Annual Conference, we focused on being an independent brokerage in today’s market. In an effort to symbolize what this means, we gave each of you a company flag to celebrate your freedom and independence. Having the ability to fly your own flag and decide the direction of your company is what makes you unique and sets you apart from the national franchises (along with many other reasons of course!).

Now, if you’re like us, you’ve hung your flag where everyone can see it, perhaps in a hallway or on the mast of your company battleship. Today however, we’re challenging you to take this one step further. The Active Enterprise Network is hosting a flag photo contest and we want to see pictures of you and your flag having an adventure together – more specifically, having an adventure that makes you proud to be an independent brokerage. We want to see you and your flag at local monuments, community-centric points of interest or any place that makes your city special. A winner will be chosen from the submitted pictures and that company will receive 5 FREE hours that can be used toward enhancements to their site! (See Contest Rules below for more details.)

We sent our intern Johnny out around Denver with our flag to give you some examples:

Needless to say, he set the bar pretty high. Amanda tried to one up him with this mountain top shot:

That’s impressive, but I think you could do better than Johnny and Amanda COMBINED. Here is your chance to show off what makes your city unique. For those of you traveling this holiday season, be sure to pack your flag and take lots of photos!

Contest Rules:

Enterprise Network members, please submit photos of you and your flag to Amanda@activewebsite.com by Friday January 21, 2011.

Once all photos have been submitted, we will post the pictures on our Active Enterprise Network Facebook page. From here, photos with the most “likes” will win, so we highly encourage you to get your agents and staff to follow us on Facebook and submit their votes!

Again, the winner will receive 5 FREE hours that can be used towards enhancements to their site! Please contact Amanda or your PM for more details.
