Easy Breezy Marketing and Non-Aggressive Door Knocking Tip

When I post directionals, its an opportunity to sell me to the owner of that corner.

I usually knock on the door to ask can I use their corner for the directional. I also ask the owner can I send them my newsletter as a thank you for allowing me to borrowing their space in front of their property for a few days. If they say yes to the newsletter... YEAHHHH but even if they say they really don't want the newletter, I surprise them with a gift card for $25 to a local store, pizza shop, or movie rental store with my card and a thank you card for using their corner.

I have gotten several clients and referrals from this and you know, they owners usually end up asking for my newsletter anyway.

Try it!!! Its Easy.

Good idea Vangie. I like asking the homeowner permission to place a sign out front as way to meet new prospects.

Oh, Vangie! What a great idea! I do always ask for permission but never thought about taking it that one step further by newsletter or "gift". Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Vangie, this is one of the most innovative ways I've read yet to get to know the neighbors of a listing and say thank you to them. Love it!

You are so welcome Kris. It was my pleasure.

Vangie,

Asking the owner's permission and sending a gift card is also a sure way to make sure the sign doesn't disappear. It's a nice way to handle things.

Vangie,

I too have from time to time asked for permission. I have also sent a thank-you too, it does work.

Thanks Vangie. This is one more thing to add to my list. It's a great idea and it will definitely keep you close to their mind.

Blessings

What a great idea, and it really shows your (gracious) personality.

Vangie,

I would never have thought of this in a hundred years. I believe I will try this also. Thank-you!

No problem Mike. Check me out for more tips. I have another great idea I am releasing on Tuesday.

Great idea! I love the touchy-feeley marketing and networking stuff!

Bryce... I just got a listing off of this touchy-feeley stuff. It works!!!
