4 Client Party Ideas for Spring

By
Education & Training with Referral Maker Real Estate CRM

Get social with your clients this spring! The warmer temperatures and longer days make it the perfect time to host a client appreciation party for your best clients. Face-to-face contact is one of the best ways to touch base with your clients, express your appreciation for their business and referrals and remind them that you’re never too busy for their referrals. Here are some spring-tastic ideas!

 

Planting party. If you have a green thumb, invite your favorite clients over for a planting party. You supply the dirt, water, gloves and plants or seeds. Invite them to bring a pot or two of their choice. Choose easy plant starts such as violets, marigolds, alyssum, poppies or a succulent of your choice. Planting is a fun project that is sure to get your clients chatting.

Mother’s Day tea party. Bust out the good china and show appreciation to the moms in your database with a tea party on or around Mother’s Day. Supply the tea and cakes, along with refreshing lemon- or cucumber-infused water, and be sure to give each mom a small bouquet of flowers.

Father’s Day barbeque. Recognize the dads in your database with a barbeque in their honor. Throw steak and chicken on the grill, fill a bucket with cans of cold beer and supply the rest of the fixings. Be sure to give the dads something useful to show your appreciation, such as grilling tools, a multitool or something else they’d enjoy.

Picnic in the park. Take advantage of the longer days and host a picnic at your local park. If the park has barbeques available, use them to grill food, or order sandwiches from a local restaurant instead. Supply some extra blankets and don’t forget the Frisbees, bocce ball set or other popular lawn games.


Client parties not only give you an opportunity to show your appreciation for your clients, they also allow your clients to meet one another and have fun. And, with Referral Maker® real estate CRM, they’re a breeze to plan. Visit ReferralMaker.com to learn more and to organize your spring client party today.

Great ideas! I have been trying to put a Mother's Day Tea together for a couple of years.  Maybe this year I actually get it done!

These are great ideas for spring. I think the snow is finally melting so we actually will have a spring in NH.

Laura Foreman I have had my last CAP few years ago - however, this year, I do plan a summer cook-out party or something like that - and will commit to my coach.

(You see, in New England, we don't have spring! We are still getting over with snow and by the time it melts, it will be 90 degree!)

Praful Thakkar  and Joan Whitebook I've seen the photos from friends and family who live there! I remember back in 2001 we had a random snow storm in May--two days before temps were in the 70s and I had been out studying for finals and enjoying the sunshine on the T-hall lawn at UNH. Oh, New England weather...

Enjoyed this post Laura Foreman ! I agree it's important to show appreciation in person. Fun events as you mention are great ways to build community and relationships... And I think it's a great idea that the mom's and dad's get to meet each other. The two thing they'll have in common are you and home ownership!

I have been thinking about doing just this thing.  Years ago when I was a client my agent had a Christmas cookie exchange with her clients, and ever since I have wanted to do something like that.  Now that I am in Real Estate, I will do a back yard cook out and maybe the planting idea.  I like it, thanks.

Client parties are a fun way to connect with your clients and thank them for their business and referrals. Also, they give your clients the opportunity to meet and connect with others.
