Local Events - Do they work?

Rob:  We had so much fun. It was great to get out of the work environment and relax.  We were still working but had fun at it.  We were giving out t-shirts and in order to get one you had to wear it.  One of the band members had came over to taste test.  We asked if he wanted and shirt and he said yes, the catcher, he had to put it on.  He agreed as long as one of us would wear the Bank Shirt.  By the end of the event the entire band was wearing our shirt. 

Lane:  Sounds yummy. I will have to look it up and try it out.  I hope you don't get caught to often.

Jen:  I have learned so much from everyone here on Active Rain.  My hard work blogging sure has help my 1st page google search return. Delighted. 

Christopher and Stephanie:  CONTENT IS KING  IS WHAT I HEARD! Thank you for stopping by.

Morgan:  After I got off the phone, I had to google the Fort Rucker Chili Cook off, to see where I ranked.  Simply amazing that something so silly could generate business.  Some of the ladies in the office did not want to do it. 

Ryan:  Having something to draw them to your booth helps.  I usually do a gift card drawing, which on the bottom of the card reads that this information can be used for marketing purposes. Works great for follow up.

Christine:  Google Juice and more google juice. Then you through in your outside blog, website and all the other social networking site....WOW!  It can be a bit overwhelming, but sure has helped me earn the right to say that I am the Fort Rucker Relocation Specialist.

Tim:  Letting people know who you are and how you can help them achieve there goals is crucial in this industry.  Even if yo don't get any leads, they know who you are and what you do.

Tony:  I will be watching for your Active Rain success story.  Best of luck.

Evelyn:  What better way to rub elbows than at a Chili cook off.  Thanks for stopping in.

Kim:  Well, the success came today when we met and closed the deal.  Now, comes the part of getting the place rented.  Bourbon....oh, I will have to try that one.  Any type of special brand? Thanks for stopping by.

Laura:  What type of events does your office participate in?  We are looking at the 2009 calendar and making plans for the Wiregrass festivals.

Janice: That is cool, getting prospects from just being present amongst the other businesses.  I hope that everything turns out and you get some really good leads.  Best of luck and keep us posted.

Tim:  Blogging is so powerful, I have managed to get front page of Google.....Events, well its a hit or miss.  Drawing the people in and making them feel like that you are not trying to push real estate is key.

Ric:   I like your slogan, going to have to use it next year. ..I think I might even use that in a slogan for some advertising.  Thanks for thought.
