A Message From The Lead Paint Police: It’s Not What You Think..

Bet you thought this would be about EPA enforcement! 

Lead PoliceActually this is about helping spread the word to children and parents about avoiding the dangers of lead exposure.  

In the video below Sesame Street characters sing a song that gets that message into the heads of young children.  Apparently, for whatever reason, children love the characters and the song.    This is further evidenced by this quote found with the video on YouTube:


“This is the only thing I remember from 4th grade. Some kid made the teacher replay this song 10 times...”

 

 

 

Protect family from lead poisoningI suggest renovators could use this video on their website.  Consider creating an area on your site dedicated to the RRP Rule.  Make it a place that offers information, advice and links that would help visitors understand the rule and the realities of lead exposure.  If you do so you can send prospects and customers to your site to help pre-educate them prior to a sales call or before beginning work at their home.  

This video is just one of many on YouTube about lead and the RRP rule.  Get creative.  Use some key word searches to find and then embed videos on your site.

This video is really great! I think I will show this to some of my customers who are resisting doing lead work properly. Maybe they will get it.

Art, it would be great if you would let us know how you make out when you do so. The reactions and results should be interesting and I might suspect productive as well.

Shawn, I will let you know. I too agree it could be very productive.
