I had a Idea that I want to toss around to see if some business owners would be intrested in.
Would you be intreseted in Graffiti Insurance?
Here's what i am thinking... AFter I paint your commerial building I offer this "insurance" that if any 1 does tag your building I would come back out "free of charge" to remove/blast/ repaint it in less then 24hr after being contacted. I am think about a small monthly fee say from 50- 100 a month or so. With a contract for say 6 months to when ever...
So would you be intrested in such a service?
*** THIS IS NOT SPAM***
Just a idea I have been stewing on for awhile.

The city of Anaheim does that for free. And they are right on it too.

I wouldn't pay that. it's a lot cheaper to just have one of the guys fix it than even $50 month but we don't have a big problem here the truck gets tagged about once a year.

I dont have a problem with graffiti but if I did, why wouldnt I just hire a guy 10 bucks/hr for a few hours to paint the grafitti away? Or are we talking about MEGA-Grafitti? :D

I'd only consider it if I had a consistant reoccuring Graffiti problem and not just a once in a while thing. Of course that's the type of customer you probably wouldn't want lol. :)

City of Riverside will also come out and do it for free (well, not free as taxpayers).
Like your thinking though!

sounds to me your target audience may be some of the building owners closer to the high crime areas (ex downtown la) it is cheaper and smarter to just paint the building in a color thats primiarly available anywhere and just repaint it yourself or have a staff member do it nice idea but most cities will do it for free.i know in palmdale they are on it fast for free we just have to call

so does this mean you hire some gang bangers to "generate some revenue" so to speak? ;)

Here in town if its up more then 48 they fine you like 500 ish... after a week they come out and "paint" it then bill you around a grand....Which is why I Have been thinking about this latly.

City of Oceanside used to come out and do it for free......but that ended a while back...probably good anyhow because they'd drive around with only one color of paint...that brown didn't match the white too well. Now they send you a notice to get it covered with a fine if after so many days its still there :rolleyes:
Unless it was a daily issue for me insuring something like that wouldn't be something I'd really be interested in.

i rent a shop in costa mesa, last week we got hit by taggers 3 times in one week, landlord was bent.
hes got some dude that comes out and does the touch up, but I bet if you hit our landlord up at the right time, hed go for it.
in the 2 years Ive been there, weve been hit probably 2 dozen times, and its not really a bad area, nothing like LA.
