Open house signs are perfect for driving traffic to homes for sale, apartments for rent and even for retail business tours. They’re a great supplement to digital and traditional campaigns to help get potential home-buyers and event attendees excited about your open house! They’re also highly effective at helping your guests navigate to your event, so you can spend less time texting or emailing back and forth and more time focusing on making the sale.

Open house signs are perfect for getting people to your event without you having to answer a million emails. Here are some of the benefits of using open house signs:

• Awareness - Let potential homebuyers know about open house event.

• Waypoint Navigation - Direct event attendees from the highway, to cross street, directly into your open house.

• Drive Results - Sell your home faster by increasing interest in the local community.

You already know the three key factors of real-estate: location, location, location. That’s just as important to consider when placing your open house signs. At the event, make sure that open house signs are placed at the edge of the lawn, closest to the street, making them easy to spot by passersby. Ask neighbors if they are willing to let you display directional signage in their yards to help your guests navigate from nearby streets and developments. Place them in visible areas at the entrance to the neighborhood and where permitted by local government, at busy intersections across town.

Some counties and cities regulate when and where open house signs may be displayed. Since this varies from county to county, be sure to check out your local county or city government or ordinances for regulations on placing signs on public property, including how long and during what times are permitted.

Get started early! Get your message out well before the event through signage, social media and local classified ads. At the event, make your guests feel welcome with a personalized welcome display and refreshments. Be sure to interact with each person at the event and leave them with a business card or brochure as a reminder of your sales points. Be sure to follow up with interested leads within a few days of your event to help move along the sale of your home or property!
