Real Estate Agents Marketing Event - Blood Drive

Ever thought of hosting a blood drive? Excellent way to get your name out in the public and do something good for your community. Great way to get you name in the paper. Here are some ideas to increase your attendance.

Challenge local clubs, groups and non-profits - the groups that donates the most pints will "win" a donation to their organization. You decide the monetary amount say $200-500 that will be the "prize" money. Check with you accountant to see if you can also deduct the donation from your taxes.

Ask local merchants to donate raffle prizes. Put this information in your press release.

Hold it around Halloween - Have a vampire themed drive. Dress up for publicity photos and include with your press release.

Create a Power Point presentation that runs automatically in the waiting area or snack area showcasing all of your listings. Don't have any listings? Ask your fellow agents in the office if you can "borrow" theirs.

Send your press release to all the local papers and your Chamber of Commerce.

Host the event in your office if you have a large enough training room.

Signage is always crucial at an outside event - Don't be a "secret" agent

If you have any ideas - please feel free to share them.
