Link to Access new Branding
During one of our Sales Meetings, Steve Steck presented some “pop-bys” ideas specifically targeting the holiday season. Pop-bys are a great way to build rapport with your clients and generate more referrals. But why limit pop-bys and personalized marketing ideas to the holiday season? Here’s some Marketing by the Month ideas to build your client relationships all year long!
Host a New Years Party
Who doesn't love a good party? Maybe set it up with some of your fellow agents to split the costs.
Send out some sparklers
Host a vision board night
Either create it with poster boards and printed photos or have your guests bring their computers and make a vision board desktop wallpaper.
Here are some templates for the digital vision board: https://www.canva.com/design/DAFRkL0n8Kk/xASTm9VAI7XJuslUKF2zGQ/view?utm_content=DAFRkL0n8Kk&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview
Send out a Happy New Year's Holiday Card
If you have the time, handwritten cards go a long way. If not, make sure you individually sign them for that personalized touch. Sending out the sparklers with the card would make it extra special!
