Start a Newcomers Club to create a huge referral network!

     You can do this!  

This idea could be the best thing you can do to build your real estate business and here's why:  

1. It gives you something different to promote and advertise in the papers, real estate circulations, magazines, retail flyers, hotel flyers, restaurant flyers, etc. and many can be free as part of the community calendar.  Newspapers will print these to help ad value to their readers.  Think about how many new buyers moving to town you'll meet first!  

2. It gives you a great thing that you can control in getting people together on a regular basis and since they are newcomers, they are great for helping you pick up new buyers when their friends move to town.  This club can be fun and will help them feel great about living here and this will help them recruit others.  

3. Think about how attractive this group will be to existing businesses!  By being in charge of this group, you can go to existing businesses and collect coupons, giveaways, promotions, etc. since these businesses know how important a new resident can be in becoming a new 'repeat customer' for their business.  By going to these businesses regularly with ideas, etc., you can use these relationships to help your businesses too for networking for referrals from them too.  

4. Once you start this group, you can start a special website for it too for getting the group together and for promoting events and the town.  This website can be another place for you to promote your business too and soon, other sites will link you to theirs.  

5. Beyond the business side of this, this can be a lot of fun for you too in meeting new people and in introducing them to old friends and in planning all kinds of events.  

6. If this idea is too big for you, get some others to do it with you or talk to your broker about getting the entire office to start one.  This approach would be better for larger cities.  Maybe the broker can start it for the entire office for the whole city and then the agents can all get involved with neighborhood subgroups or areas of town subgroups.  This would allow for smaller groups and also larger get togethers.
