Sweet Treats....Sweet Rewards...!

By
Real Estate Agent with EXP Realty 414-525-0563 57026-90 Broker

  Our practice does things a little differently than most...and now we have begun to add a "sweet dimension" to it !   We have delivered Halloween candy to some of our referral partners for years. The baskets were well Halloween basketsreceived....AND ...to our surprise the recipients left them in their reception area AND added our business cards sprinkled in the baskets.....and yes....people who are waiting for a service do get a sweet treat...And Do pick up our card....and it does result in sweet new buyers and Sellers !

    turkey candyOur flock of  turkeys landed at various businesses before the Gobblers' big day.....and we know as we are now replacing the Turkeys with Christmas treats...that some of our business cards were gobbled up as well !

    We have referred business to these partners...written marketing materials....posts and suggested promotions...it has been and continues to be a mutually beneficial relationship ! The spirit of contribution is alive and well on both sides with benefits for everyone. You get some facetime with a referral partner..."reward possible mutual clients" and both enjoy the results !

       Go ahead...think outside the box...don't you have business partners that have the same clients you seek in your own practice ?  Wouldn't they appreciate this kind of "sweet attention" ? Betting they would...and you will enjoy many happily ever afters as a result !

    This has been a marketing suggestion post brought to you by Sally K. & David L. Hanson, Broker Associates with EXP Realty, honored to be serving southeastern Wisconsin for all things real estate.

I actually also share some sweet treats at places where I'm not likely to get clients like the clerks' office at the court house who are always very helpful when we call and the power company that owns the lake in their land managment office, but I love the idea of sharing a handful of cards with other places that do have potential clients.  Clever.

Sally very interesting, I guess like Tammy Lankford,  does these are very practical ideas in a small community. Not sure how we could implement it in a big city like Los Angeles, but I would be interested in trying, Endre

Morning Sally.

Thinking outside the box is something a lot of agents should do. Sadly, most do not.

Interesting suggestions! I have a notebook which includes "ideas for next home" and this has churned my brain and made me add a few thoughts...

Think about the professionals and services that you use and would attract clients you want to add and narrow your geographic reach Endre Barath, Jr. . While the entire coverage area of our practice is 8 counties..."Candy Land" is concentrated in two.

I like the keeping in touch idea, no matter how - notes, cards, candy, whatever.

But really, everyone knows Superman is the coolest superhero.

C'mon now.

That is such a great idea!  I do not bake myself, nor do I think I could create such treats, but I am sure there is a way that I could make something like this work for me in my market.
