What Time Should You Hold Your Home Open?

Idea’s for Advertising and Marketing Your Open House.
- Place an ad in your Newspaper Classified real estate section. Check to see if your local paper has a special Open House section, many do. You should run your ad the morning of the Open House and if budget allows, run your ad a few days in advance of the Open House.
- Edit your InfoTube ad and include the date and time of your Open House on your free internet ad. Be sure to remove the dates from your ad, once the event has past.
- After editing your ad to include your Open House date, Print new brochures with the date and time, then refill your InfoTube. (Tip: Make sure you print plenty of brochures to hand out at your Open House.)
- Open House Directional Signs. Nothing boosts attendance as much as directional signs placed at all key intersections and the routes traveled to reach your home. You can purchase directional Arrow and Open House signs at most major home centers. Please collect all signs after your Open House to avoid possible citations. Many towns consider left over signs as “littering”, after the event has passed.
- Attract more attention. Purchase an Open House sign for a few dollars at your local hardware store. Tie brightly colored balloons to the sign the day of the event.
- Post your Open House on OpenHouse.com. Place a post on Craigslist. Send out an email. Use the internet to gain as much attention as possible.
