The Elevator Pitch
For home-movers who need to inform lots of companies of their change of details the Home-movers company is a way of doing so that only requires you to tell one company (Home-movers), and they will do the rest. Unlike other home-moving products our product will cover areas not already covered by others..
The Idea
Store details of all companies who have your home address and, when you are moving home, generate letters to each company telling them of your change of address.
E.g. the system knows about my electricity and gas companies, my magazine subscriptions, and my bank accounts. When I enter my new address, it generates letters to each company. Because these will probably require a genuine signature, the letters are sent to me to sign, along with pre-paid envelopes for me to send the letter off in.
I thought of this idea when I was...
I move house a lot!

Thanks - someone else also pointed out to me that Royal Mail do it in the UK for free.
Is there still the prospect of an international market, or is this already available in other countries too?
Mail in Holland does the same
I think Calgary would be a good place for a service like this.
It might be a product realtors could use to attract customers.
You should fix your elevator pitch....
If you're an AMA or CAA member, they offer this service for free. Not sure about other automobile associations around the world.
I dont know about other services, but I JUST moved and this would have come in very handy. I especially like the idea of pushing it through realtors as an initial channel.
How do you plan to attract the rental market?
The rental market could be tapped into by advertising through leasing agencies.
Unless there's a better idea?
Sounds good for some local community...
nice idea.. good for moving companies and realestate folks
ever considered a PO Box? ;-)
but seriously, there does need to be the equivalent of "DNS for physical addresses" so you can just have one physical address that will route to wherever you live now. There's a service called Remote Control Mail that supposedly is like a PO Box that scans your snail mail and emails you a copy (i've never tried it): http://www.remotecontrolmail.com/
interesting idea
I honestly can't see enough of a buy in from people unless it is a service promoted by and run through a real estate firm or maybe mortgage brokers etc. On its own it looks like a tough sell.
would this be another way of generating more unwanted paper mails and notifications?
