Open House Ideas
Hi all, 

What are some unique things you have seen done for broker open houses? We obviously have the gift cards and a weekend getaway. But, are there any out of the box giveaways you guys have seen that were pretty cool and unique? Last week we did one where they gave away 4 of those hover board skateboard things, and a custom beach cruiser. Thanks in advance!

I doubt anyone gave a shit about that, but it got forwarded around a bit because it was a hilarious offering email.  I probably don't even open 90 persent of the listing announcement emails I get and I remember that one like 4 years later, so I'd say the couple hundred they burned on cd's probably paid for itself.\n\nAnother broker had a marketing girl for a while that sent out hilarious emails in all comic sans and sarcastic as shit.  I'd cringe if my clients saw me do that, but i'm going to admit to reading every email she sent because they always made me laugh.  \n\n\"broker open house!  free food!  enter to win an IPAD!\" i pretty much ignore.  If I have a client that wants your property I'll schedule a tour. \n\nIMO you probably get more done being creative.  \n\nThats just me though, there is a guy in my office that is old as dirt, probably has more money banked that I've ever seen, and if you offer free sandwhiches he will be there......", "replies": [{"id": "cwusa7c", "text": "Yeah, no way that the sarcastic emails would fly (bummer). What is it about the old guys that have tons of cash in the bank, they will be there all the time, totally get what you are saying.  Probably just to resort to an apple watch, nest thermostat, and weekend getaway. Well, thanks for the input!", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "cwv0ssr", "text": "At an industrial property with large yard and truck court, the hosts had a three-hole disc golf contest that took you around the property and was also worth prizes for best scores. Pretty unique and fun, and made you walk the entire place.", "replies": [{"id": "cx2e3la", "text": "I like it, that is pretty neat. Thanks!", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
