Holiday Pie giveaway- huge success!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executive

my 1st annual holiday pie giveaway turned out to be a big hit and greatly appreciated. In my December e-newsletter I offered a free holiday pie to anyone on my sphere mailing list, who responded. I hired a local well known baker to make the pies ( I offered pumpkin or apple pie) and made arrangements to let her know by a certain date how many i needed and we were off. In my letter I asked for response by december 18th and offered to deliver pies or they could be picked up at my office.  The response was teriffic, and everyone was so appreciative. It was well worth the effort and i will definitely do this again.

Thanks Liz, I highly recommend it, if you are ever trying to think of a nice way to stay in touch and say thank you. Other holidays would be good as well.

Please, try it, thats why we share here on AR. It was so well received I am thinking of other holidays to do it. One key, I think is what ever you give, make it really good-i.e. homemade or from a local baker, not a store bought product. I think that they just appreciated the thought but also the quality!! Best of luck.
