Cursing the Darkness, Or…

You likely have heard the maxim, “Every problem is an opportunity in disguise.” America has its share of challenges, including the ever growing need for affordable housing. Manufactured housing is the very embodiment of durable, quality, affordable homes! Think about the following facts.

  • Incomes for tens of millions of Americans are down.
  • 10,000 seniors are retiring daily.
  • 20,000,000 new housing units are needed between now and 2030.
  • Budgets for governmental entities – at least are claim to be – strained.
  • Manufactured housing has the potential solutions for many of these and other related needs.
  • But we have an image issue that impacts and limits us on most of what we do.

A common theme in the exclusive interviews we have had with Industry Leaders such as:

has been their confidence in our industry's many opportunities and ability to grow. So it isn't 'just us' that believes we can and should be growing. The reason these and other leaders continue to invest in manufactured housing is because they believe we can and ought to grow. Two years of steady uptick in new MH shipments ought to underscore that confidence.

One of Green Courte Partners Chairman Randy Rowe's 5 Points for Industry Recovery is

  • a broader understanding of the industry achieved through national and regional marketing programs.

Rephrasing Chairman Rowe's point 5, it is a call for a marketing/educational campaign – an image campaign! – that would boost understanding of and thus sales of more manufactured homes.

Image is Part of a Bigger Picture

We can't lose sight of the importance of Nathan Smith's call to work on HR 1779 and those CFPB 'legislative fix' efforts, which rank just below the hottest articles read on the MHProNews.com website.

We also have to keep professional 'best practices' in mind, as we start efforts to move the needle on our industry's image. As one savvy industry pro told us, once we have customers interested, we have to handle them in a professional manner.
