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.

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.
