What’s Your Reason to Reach Out this Month?

Realtors are always looking for good reasons to reach out to members of the sphere of influence lists which might include clients, friends and family.

If you really need a reason for a phone call, an email, a Facebook message, a tweet on Twitter, a text, a direct mail campaign, a hand-written note or a personal visit, here are a few you might be able to use in June.

• Fishing for leads? June is Aquarium Month.
• Reward your most recent referral giver with some chocolate. June is National Candy Month.
• Trying to find out who might be moooooo-ving? Got Listings?

• Squeeze in a few more calls each day – It’s National Accordion Awareness Month.
• Looking for the purr-fect reason to “cat”ch up? How about National Adopt a Cat Month?

• June 29th – Camera Day. Post some local photos from around your town on Facebook and have a “Name the Place” contest. Post a new photo every hour from 9-5 and make the last one a local happy hour spot. Invite your followers to meet you there for a cold drink on you.
