Seven Fun, Creative Real Estate Marketing Ideas To Boost Your Business

#1 Make and Giveaway Bumper Stickers. 

I never met a car that a bumper sticker didn't like! Another way of saying it is "people love bumper stickers and the more unique they are the more appealing they can be.

So, have some made with your web site address and/or other business information on it and them give them away. You might be surprised by the number of people wanting one for their vehicles happy and willing to share how great they think you are:

  • church members and sorority & fraternity organizations and other groups that you associte with
  • agencies where you volunteer time and services 
  • friends and family 
  • and clients who are happy with your services

Why? Because bumper stickers have universal appeal. People proudly display them on their vehicles, and by providing customized bumper stickers that bear your real estate agency's name, logo, and contact information, you transform contacts, prospects, and clients into mobile brand ambassadors.

And bumper stickers can impact your business profoundly in three ways:  

  • They become rolling billboards for your services when affixed to cars and trucks, subtly reinforcing brand recognition.

  • They foster community and connection by sparking conversations and creating a sense of belonging. When past clients and acquaintances see your bumper sticker on a vehicle, it can remind them of their positive experience with your agency, making them more likely to contact you for their real estate needs.

  • This approach not only maintains your agency's top-of-mind status but also has the potential to draw in new business while simultaneously strengthening existing relationships, creating a positive outlook for your real estate needs.

So, if you've yet to take advantage of promoting your services through bumper stickers, don't worry; it's never too late to begin! Start by designing your own bumper or selecting an online provider to do it for you.

#2 Design, Make, and Wear Tee Shirts & Jackets. Real estate marketing via tee shirts and jackets is a familiar and novel idea, but how many Realtors do you see promoting their business this way? Did you think "none?"  I don't see many either, but think of it as missed opportunities for advertising your business rather than a bad idea better left undone! 

Dare to be different! Have some tee shirts and jackets made with your website address and other business information, and then find as many reasons to wear them as you can, like when ... When designing these, consider using bold colors, clear fonts, and a simple yet impactful design that represents your brand. This will make your shirts and jackets stand out and attract attention, increasing the chances of people noticing and remembering your business.

  • grocery shopping, going to doctor appointments, attending your children's school events, watching parades, etc. 

Here's the point! You, your family, friends, and people within your sphere of influence can wear them almost anywhere. So, market your business year-round for a one-time cost. When it's too cold for tee shirts, wear a jacket; when it's too hot for a jacket, wear a tee shirt! This cost-effective strategy ensures your business is always in the spotlight.   

#3 Make and Wear Baseball Caps. Baseball caps can be an effective way to promote your real estate business and establish a brand identity. You can create custom baseball caps that feature your website address and other relevant information about your business. Additionally, consider sponsoring your child's baseball team by providing them with branded baseball caps. This can help generate positive publicity while doing some. To maximize your advertising efforts, you can ask the parents to display your bumper stickers on their cars as a "quid pro quo" arrangement.

#4 Brand Your Business Envelopes and Stationary. One of the most crucial aspects of a successful real estate marketing campaign is to ensure that all your stationary and envelopes are branded with your website address and other essential business information. This will make your marketing efforts more effective and help your clients and potential customers stay connected with you and your business. So, don't forget to include your contact information on all your printed materials to leave a lasting impression on your clients.

#5 Make and Place Magnetic Signs on Your Vehicle. Automobile signs are a "meat and potatoes" marketing idea for many real estate agents. If you don't already have some, get some. No, not the generic ones your Broker has lying around, but signs with your name, website address, and other business information. Place them on your car doors or car top. But take care to occasionally remove them and reattach them in different spots to avoid fading your paint job.

#6 Make and Distribute Real Estate Flyers - Like Weekly! Seriously! Find reasons to make and distribute flyers promoting your services, including flyers for buyers and sellers, open house events, new agent introduction flyers, etc. Keep some with you at all times to pin to bulletin boards or place on surfaces you pass by (checkout lines, pick-up locations, waiting rooms, etc.

Flyers are mighty, inexpensive real estate marketing lead-generation tools that reach many people fast. Print a couple hundred at a time and pay your kids to place them on car windshields in grocery store and shopping center parking lots on Saturday mornings. Imagine your business if you printed and distributed flyers every weekend. Why can't you?

#7 Hand Out Business Cards Like Nobody Else Does.  One of the simplest yet effective marketing strategies for professionals is to hand out their business cards. However, many of us tend to order them without a plan to distribute them. This is a missed opportunity to promote ourselves and our business. To get the most out of your business cards, it is essential to distribute them actively. Set a goal to give out all of your cards in the next 30 days, and then order some more. Repeat this process regularly to keep building your network and expanding your reach. Remember, every card left in the box represents a lost opportunity to connect with potential clients.
