One of the most popular sports and TV events in the history of the world (I exaggerate for effect here) is coming in no time at all - SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. Last year there were an estimated 141 MILLION viewers, give or take a few hundred thousand. This is pretty staggering. It's almost more of a holiday than some of the real ones.
I am not a Bowl fanatic, but I do pay attention, nand generally find myself ensconced in front of the TV for some of the time. And if I'm at a party at least SOME of the time the eyes are trained on the tube.
So who is holding an open house? Is this smart or folly? I never have, simply because it didn't make sense to do so...but perhaps I'm wrong. The opinions vary dramatically - some folks say NEVER, others say it works for them with advertising, goodies, etc. Some feel it's like the holiday season - if they are out looking they are SERIOUS buyers (or maybe they DON"T watch the bowl and see this as a way to escape bedlam at home). For others it's a complete waste of time. Soooo......
Is Superbowl Sunday the best day to hold an open house? Or the worst? Let's hear from fans and non-fans alike. What's YOUR vote! And if you aren't holding an OH, whatcha doin'?
And if you do plan on doing an OH, or have in the past, what has worked for you? How has it been different?
GO BEARS! GO COLTS!!
Nope, I'm not saying who I'm rooting for...yet.
