So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Parade Of Homes To generate Real Estate Leads

By James Lockwood


Most states or major cities host an annual Parade of Homes. These events are usually designed to showcase the ability of local builders and decorators, though some events also feature established, older homes. To learn more about how you can use a Parade of Homes event to advertise your business and generate real leads, keep reading.

Advertising and Sponsorship Opportunities Parade of Homes provide great sponsorship and advertising opportunities which can get your business name and logo out in front of thousands of potential home buyers. Because most people attending a Parade of Homes event are those interested in houses, you are already targeting your marketing.

Search for sponsorship opportunities like logo placement on the tickets, signage at the properties or your advertisement on the map and brochure.

Have a Property Featured If your local Parade of Homes focuses on already established homes and not new builds, then consider having one of your own listing properties featured in the Parade. Almost all Parade of Homes seek out properties which exemplify luxury and style, so focus on a listing that meets those requirements.

Meet the Curious The majority of the attendees at a Parade of Homes are curious members of the public who're searching for decorating ideas, wish to see what new builders' innovations are out there or are simply interested in housing. This could be a great opportunity to meet those people, even if it is just through milling about and starting light conversations. So, during your local Parade of Homes, take a day or two to hang out at a few of the houses. Whilst you should not be giving anyone a hard sales push, you should at least keep a few business cards in your pocket.

Network with Builders and Industry Professionals Parade of Homes events also attract numerous builders and industry professionals, particularly those associated with the building of the properties. Take this unique opportunity to meet with and greet these builders and contractors. Remember, a contractor or building professional is usually the first person to know about an impending real estate decision. So, setting up a referral trade agreement with a popular contractor could be a great way to build your business. It's easy to build and generate leads at a Local Parade of Homes' events. Simply concentrate on the advertising opportunities, list a featured property, meet the attendees and take the opportunity to network with industry professionals while you have their attention.
