Odds are good that you've heard some Hollywood type or other celebrity say, “Image isn't everything, it's the only thing.”
There is no doubt that a good image helps you, and a poor one harms you. So most professionals in our industry don't need to be convinced that improving our industry's image is a good idea. We already know it. The typical questions or comments are, why hasn't something already been done? What can we do to improve the image of my business, location or the manufactured housing image at large with the home buying public?
With image building in mind, we recently launched version 2.0 of ManufacturedHomeLivingNews.com. The feedback from industry professionals continues to come in. Let's share some recent comments, all of these that follow below are used with permission of the sender.

Tony,
I took just a minute to visit the MHLivingNews website and my first impression is: “WELL DONE!”
A wealth of valuable information for MH owners (and potential homebuyers, as well) all in one place!
Bravo!

Tony,
Amanda pointed out your new public image building website to me, ManufacturedHomeLivingNews.com. It looks good, and ought to be a fine resource for industry people to use to enhance the manufactured housing image with the general public, legislators or the media.
I can see how communities and retailers could use this with existing and new customers, and others in the Industry could benefit by sharing your new site link too. I hope manufacturers use your Featured Home option to show case new or popular models on line.
Thanks for your ongoing efforts to boost manufactured housing, I hope and would encourage industry pros to link to and share your site with their colleagues, team and customers.
