Halloween Marketing Ideas How do you use the Halloween holiday to your advantage? Jim Lee, a professional real estate agent from Knoxville, TN has this idea: "With Halloween just around the corner here's something I've done for the past few years that has actually generated some business. I get a few boxes of Baggies and put our Halloween treats in them along with two of my business cards. Knowing most parents look very closely at their kid's candy these days I have found this to be a great opportunity to get my name in front of them in a positive manner. I also fell that adding my card acts as sort of a "Good Housekeeping seal of approval" that the treat is safe for their children further adding to a positive image. I usually go a little above average with treats with something like 1 or 2 miniature Snickers or Milky Ways, a couple of pieces of bubble gum, some suckers, and a few other things. My lovely wife Charlotte still rolls her eyes skyward when I start packing up my Baggies, but one listing or sale from doing this will pay for your Halloween for many years." Jim Lee, CRS, GRI, ABR,
e-PRO, e-JIM Jim's idea is a great one! What you might want to do to tie this into your website is collect some interesting links regarding Halloween. 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. In the candy bags, place a sticker on your business card OR insert a piece of paper into the bag that reads, "Visit my website at www.MyWebsite.com and view my favorite links & tips regarding safety for Halloween!" You can also offer Free Reports through your 'Free Reports' program in your Virtual Office. Instead of collecting links on your 'Favorite Links' page, add them together as a Free Report and offer it through your website! That way, you'll be notified if anyone requests one of your Free Reports by e-mail. Have a Safe and Happy Halloween! Advanced Access |
