Have you hosted a home buyer happy hour at a brewery?

Have you hosted a home buyer happy hour at a brewery?

 

I received this interesting invitation on Facebook. It is the second event that I have noticed  this week for a home buyer program in a brewery. This must be in the category of creative marketing. 

What are your thoughts? Will free beer attract home buyer prospects?

Hello Roy - I can't say I have and I likely wouldn't.  It's not something that "fits" me. Are you going to send an acceptance? Or regrets?

I like the concept, Roy, but never in a brewery... I can't tolerate the smell of beer.

Roy Kelley thanks for sharing, this does sound like fun, and you never know where your next buyer will come from.

I haven't tried that, Roy, but it sounds like fun.  I love that photo of the orchid.  It has eyes, a nose, a mouth and ears.

If the event is at the brewery, there sould not be much liability. And, you have your umbrella liability policy for added protection.

We did an event at one of our local breweries last summer. There were also food trucks highlighting local eateries. We gave out tokens for the food & beer. We had a great turnout, no surprise there, and everyone had a terrific time.

I'm guessing that there will be quite a few who show up for the beer and not so much for any home buying.
