With these nine creative ideas, guests will remember your open house and have more ways to connect with you if they\u2019re interested in taking the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Promote Your Open House on <\/b><b>Social Media Platforms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many savvy buyers use apps like Zillow to schedule house tours, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great place for agents to announce <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open house events<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real estate marketing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> experts recommend posting glimpses of your listing on your Instagram stories or pages. This way, buyers can see what the house has to offer for them and they may be more likely to make room in their schedules to attend the full open house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a good idea to post on several different platforms to reach your target audience. TikTok is a great option if you are targeting a younger buyer while older adults tend to use Facebook more frequently. By posting on several different sites, you&#8217;re more likely to reach a large pool of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homeowners<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential buyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re sending out <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/open-house-invitation\">open house invitations<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can share a screenshot of them on your social pages. Alternatively, you can make digital invites shareable so people can send the invite to friends and family who may be interested as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Host a <\/b><b>Virtual Open House<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While most <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real estate agents<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> host open houses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in person<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s also possible to run these as virtual events to reach a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wider audience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. One big benefit is that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home buyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from out of town or overseas can also participate in a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual tour<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, further expanding your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential buyer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real estate <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listing agents<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also save time by doing video open houses or virtual walk-throughs. Instead of having to go to the property repeatedly, you can go when it\u2019s convenient for your schedule. Then, you can do a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live-streaming<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> open house or simply use the recorded open house video to do private showings when convenient for your clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For video showings, you can work with a designer to create <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">virtual staging<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to customize the look of the house for clients. This is a nice way to personalize the process and show buyers how the home would look with their preferred furniture and design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Plan a <\/b><b>Raffle<\/b><b> or <\/b><b>Giveaway<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Partner with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local businesses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, restaurants, and retailers to host a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raffle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The goal of an open house is to get the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact information<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of interested buyers so you can continue the conversion and see how you can get them into their dream home. This is easier than ever with an<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/curbhe.ro\/open-house-drawing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>open house <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>raffle<\/strong><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply have guests provide their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact info<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to enter the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">raffle<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can do this with a paper <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sign-in sheet<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or an app that collects their information using a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QR code<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Randomly choose a winner and award them with a prize like a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gift card<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or home decor item. After the open house, use the sign-up sheet to contact <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential buyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and offer your services or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">follow up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their interest in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Host a How-To Demonstration<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-opening-a-door-and-welcoming-her-guest.jpeg\" alt=\"Open house ideas: woman opening a door and welcoming her guest\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-opening-a-door-and-welcoming-her-guest.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-opening-a-door-and-welcoming-her-guest-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-opening-a-door-and-welcoming-her-guest-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invite a local contractor, interior designer, or tradesperson to present a how-to demonstration on how to design a specific room, how to do easy DIY remodels, or tips for evaluating the quality of the build. These demonstrations offer incredible value to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential buyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and they can also connect them to people in your industry. They\u2019ll appreciate your recommendation and also be more likely to recommend your realty services to other potential clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Give Out Swag<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone loves a little swag and you can offer special gifts without digging too deep into your pockets. Consider handing out fun swag and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">goodie bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> filled with things like personalized pens, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">water bottles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, notebooks, and drink holders. You can also hand out household items like flashlights, storage bags, and tape measures with your information on them so potential clients remember your services and know how to contact you. Don\u2019t forget to slip in your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business card<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contact information<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open house visitors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can get a hold of you, even if they don\u2019t use the swag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Invite the Neighborhood<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem silly to invite the neighbors since they already have homes in the area, but they can be a great source of information for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">potential buyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can chat with interested individuals and share what they love about the neighborhood or what they wish would be different. They may also know friends and family who are looking to move close by and could send you a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">referral<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Host Special Activities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help buyers envision what their life in the home may look like by hosting creative activities. You can have a bartender show guests how to whip up specialty craft cocktails in the bar area or set up outdoor games to highlight the benefits of a large yard. A neighborhood <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/birthday-scavenger-hunt\">scavenger hunt<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help buyers get to know the area in a fun way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Make a Fun <\/b><b>Real Estate Open House Sign<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For young people and new <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homebuyers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, going to an open house can be intimidating. Welcome guests and make them feel comfortable with clear and creative <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Clearly mark the home with a sign and be sure to add <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to intersections nearby to guide guests to the address. Use friendly wording and a large font so it\u2019s easy for everyone to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Serve <\/b><b>Refreshments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more time guests spend at an open house, the more likely they are to be interested. Encourage them to stay and mingle by offering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refreshments<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like pastries, finger foods, and small bites. Avoid messy foods like wings or sauces that can cause damage to furniture items and be sure to offer plates, napkins, and trash receptacles for a seamless experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3 Stunning and Effective Open House Invitations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to plan your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">next open house event<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
