dakno flip cameraNot advertising your open house is just like having a party and not inviting anyone.  Why bother?  Pull out a calendar and SCHEDULE your open houses.  PLAN for them.  And, most important of all, ADVERTISE them!  Make sure when you advertise, you also add directions that are easy to follow - (not everyone has a GPS).  

Advertise a drawing for a free Flip video camera.  You can find them on Amazon now for about $50.  After 4 or so open houses, draw a name and make a big deal announcing the winner - advertise that too.  Make sure to order a custom skin for the Flip camera with your branding on it (skinit.com) so everyone knows where it came from!  I've attached a picture of Dakno's custom skin.

For the list of free sites to advertise your open houses, read the entire post here.

Have a great party!

Running an open house without advertising IS a waste of time. Despite all this technology we still get folks looking in the newpapers for OH ads. This is a great list, Tina. Thanks.

Tina,

I like the idea of holding a drawing for a Flip, or some other item, as a door prize for attending your open house.  The other idea of placing a skin on it to keep your name in front of people is another good idea.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I had no idea you get skins for those handy little cameras. I learn so much everyday.

Great post. We get more and more people to open houses from Trulia around here - from other places - not so much. Love the skin. ~Rita

We find experimenting on what using different ways to advertise an open houses accomplishes shows attendance using only Craig's List nearly equals turnout from newspaper ads.

The custom gift / Prize is a terrific idea...and the basic thought about advertising calls into question how many agents run open houses out of boredom or seller necessity. If your not going to make a big deal out of it don't bother.
