My New England Patriots Schedule Is a Touchdown Every Year

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Realty Concierge International MA #9535680 RI#REB0019277

Every year, without fail, my New England Patriots schedule postcard becomes one of the most popular touches I send to my sphere.

It’s funny, out of all the market updates, home tips, newsletters, and community guides I share, this simple little schedule consistently steals the show. I’ll get calls, emails, and texts from clients, past clients, friends, and neighbors thanking me for sending it. Some even tell me they’ve placed it to the fridge, tucked it into their planner, or pinned it to a bulletin board.

And if I’m even a little late? I hear about it. “Kelly, are the schedules coming?” “Did I miss it?” “When’s the Patriots postcard arriving?”

That’s when you know a touch is working - when people ask for it.

In real estate, staying connected to your sphere is everything. Industry experts often recommend 36 touches per year, but realistically, most agents succeed with 12–18 meaningful, memorable touches.

The key is consistency and value and this postcard delivers both. It’s useful, it’s local, it’s fun, and it reminds people that I’m here long before they need to buy or sell.

This Patriots schedule has become more than a marketing piece. It’s a tradition. It’s a relationship-builder.

And yes, it’s a touchdown every single year.

That's a fantastic example of relationship marketing! The best client touches aren't always the most elaborate—they're the ones people genuinely look forward to and find useful year after year.

Well done, Kelly. The key to any effective marketing campaign is consistency and offering a product that shows you care and represents the sphere.

Good job Kelly, and I used to send out Bronco schedules too.   I just printed the schedule out yesterday and put it up in the kitchen.

Good morning, Kelly... I don't send out football calendars... we have so many transplants to the Greater Charlotte area who continue to support their home teams, not the Panthers. But I do send out an annual fridge calendar and people ask me if I'm still on their list for the year. Others ask for a second or third calendar.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Loved this post, Kelly McGovern. It’s funny how a simple little postcard can outshine all the big, polished stuff we send out, and you captured that perfectly. Thanks for sharing the reminder that consistency and heart still win the day :)
