Not advertising your open house is just like having a party and not inviting anyone. Why bother? Pull out a calendar and SCHEDULE your open houses. PLAN for them. And, most important of all, ADVERTISE them! Make sure when you advertise, you also add directions that are easy to follow - (not everyone has a GPS).
Advertise a drawing for a free Flip video camera. You can find them on Amazon now for about $50. After 4 or so open houses, draw a name and make a big deal announcing the winner - advertise that too. Make sure to order a custom skin for the Flip camera with your branding on it (skinit.com) so everyone knows where it came from! I've attached a picture of Dakno's custom skin.
For the list of free sites to advertise your open houses, read the entire post here.
Have a great party!

Thaks for the list and good idea about branding a flip phone...that would be good for any give-a-way. Wonder if you bought them by the dozen if they get cheeper?
Terrific post in more ways then one. In the past I have had more money then time so "wasted" some money on advertising. Now like many agents I have a little more time that I can spend and would prefer to spend less money.
Actually looked for a flip camera today at Office Depot. $150-200. I will be checking online tomarrow.
Thanks for the tips
Mirela -
Thanks for re-blogging a great idea. Other wise I would have missed it.
Mirela - thank you for the re-blog. Brian - keep an eye out for sales on the Flip. As the HD cameras are gaining n popularity, stores have been running big sales on them.
