EGGceptional listings are staged listings! Spring marketing idea

By
Home Stager with Home Star Staging

Last month I shared with you a marketing giveaway I had created for a Realtor presentation I was scheduled for prior to Valentine's Day.  A snow day kept me from going but I stEaster Eggs in a basket marketing ideaill managed to bring them to the office where I re introduced myself and re scheduled the presentation for March. Well that happens to be tomorrow.

I wanted to bring something again that would be memorable and appropriate for the time of year.

Fortuneggly with the amount of Easter and spring time items on the shelves the perfect solution came to me and I'd like to share it with you!

It's basically the same as the Valentine marketing piece I made however this was even easier and less expensive. Each egg with candy cost about .26 cents and I made 60. 

The "fortunegg phrase" in the egg says:

 "Staging makes your listings EGGCEPTIONAL! www.HomeStarStaging.com"

Not only is this easy & inexpensive but it's a great thing for others to do and bring to Real Estate offices you may have been wanting to visit and introduce yourself and your services too. Putting something like this in the break room and letting agents take one is so much better than putting a business card or flyer in a mail box that may never be looked at.

Of course I'll also be giving flyers, info and my business card to the Realtors in attendance at the presentation but I'm also giving them this eggceptional egg and leaving the basket in the break room!

I'd love to hear your marketing ideas too

Karen-  That is so creative and the cost is very low.  I like that.   For my marketing, I normally take a glass bottle of jelly beans and have the agents count them and whoever is the closes wins it.
