Default Re: Need advice, please

Dear Lana.

I would call the Brokers of Real Estate offices and ask if you could attend one of their sales meetings to present their agents with a wonderful closing and thank you gift that would generate lots of referrals from their clients. I have given gift baskets in the past but have chosen to go with more personal items in the last few years.

Some things that I really liked for my baskets were a complete pasta basket (ready to make dinner), bar-b-que baskets, baskets with candles and other things that are very usable and have staying value.

Another option may be to hit up the title companies in the area and ask if they would help you grow your business by displaying a gift basket in their offices to show to realtors as they come in and out of the office with some of your brochures or fliers as well. Word of mouth will work wonders.

With the real estate offices, when you get in front of them for a sales meeting or any other opportunity, have a raffle or some sort of give away for either the basket you display or samples of the items you include. If you have several things to give away, people will share and everyone will get to experience the quality of your offerings.

I hope that helps. The best of luck to you!
