This Marketing Tip is a little early
for Halloween but we want to give you some ideas before the holiday
actually arrives. These ideas can be a great addition to your
marketing and advertising campaign and you might need a week or two
in preparation. Also, be prepared for some
How can you use the Halloween holiday to promote your business and give yourself a marketing advantage? When you're passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters that come to your door, do you give them a business card? (You're thinking - are you CRAZY? Probably not!) Here's a thought - how about putting a sticker with your website address on the candy wrapper? How long would that last? Hmm... maybe not very long! So, how can you use this holiday to promote your real estate business? All it takes is a couple of hours to put together a powerful Halloween Marketing Package.
The cauldron bubbling over with pumpkins pictured above was created for an Advanced Access promotional drawing for the month of October. Twenty-three colorful plastic pumpkins were each labeled with a number on the bottom (1-23), filled with Halloween candy, wrapped with plastic wrap, and tied with some festive ribbon. The numbers corresponded to a daily prize that was drawn for each working day during the month of October. Rather than labeling these pumpkins with a number, you can arrange for some stickers to be made and attach them on the back of these pumpkins. Or, you can punch a small hole in your business card and thread the ribbon through the card to tie it to the pumpkin. We found that we were able to include 6-8 small pieces of individually wrapped candy in the plastic pumpkin. This will be a nice little treat for anyone looking for sweets during the month of October! You can create a variety of fun and festive promotions with these pumpkins, including passing them out on October 31 to your farm area, putting them on the front desk of your office, handing them out at your children's activities, or giving them as gifts when you are touring buyers around your town. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
Ingredients - Packages of small
plastic pumpkins (found at most local grocery stores) Then, have stickers made up with your name, phone number, and website address to affix to the back of the pumpkin. Or, you can attach your business card to the ribbon, as described above. Preparation These are best put together with a helper. =) If two people are packaging the pumpkins it will take about an hour to put together 50 pumpkin creations. One person should start adding the sticker to the pumpkins and filling them with Halloween candy. The second person can start wrapping them with plastic wrap and tying the ribbons around the top.
Halloween Links You can find these types of links anywhere on the Internet. Here are some good examples found on Yahoo.com: search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=halloween+links Enter these links into your 'Favorite Links' section on your website.
