Clint and I are trying to think of ways to help the Realtors we want to work with drive more traffic to their open houses.
A new idea we just tried was a food drive. Heres how it worked:
We advertised via PSA's, Print, and Radio that we were holding a food drive at the following locations : (Each Open House)
To add incentive we offered that for everyone who brought a donation, we would give them a certificate for a free appraisal to use with us in the next 60 days.
So we had FOOD For Lane County supply us with some food barrels, and we created our own signage. Clint and I even knocked on some doors in each neighborhood to make sure they knew what was going on.
Unfortunately, we did not get very many donations. For one thing it so happened that FOOD for Lane County was having two major drives themselves that same day. Also, We implemented the idea two weeks from when we thought of it. In the future, I think we need to give ourselves at least a month.
However, it was not in vain because we did get a great lead from it. It was so great to work with Realtors who were more than happy to participate.
We were not really expecting to get any direct leads ourselves from the drive, just hoping to get more activity into those open houses. I was also expecting alot more food! Just goes to show you never know!
