Today, I'm sharing my top strategy for client events. Recently, someone asked about holiday events, but I’ll tell you why I avoid the holiday rush and focus on unique, impactful gatherings instead. I'll dive into my personal favorite event—the Thanksgiving pie giveaway—that’s been a huge success in building relationships and business. I’ll also cover five other innovative event ideas you might not have thought of, so you can stand out with your clients, add a personal touch, and make it work even without a big office space.

 

Here are the talking points we covered:

• Challenges of holiday season events (hectic schedules, lack of engagement).
• Why events outside of high-traffic times can lead to better attendance and less stress.
• Ensuring focus on connecting rather than handling work-related discussions.
• Tactics for redirecting mortgage conversations to scheduled calls so everyone gets attention.
• Incentivizing clients to share photos with a specific hashtag for increased visibility.
• Benefits of social media engagement for building a brand presence.
• Tips for keeping events manageable in one day.
• Working with partners like realtors or local businesses to maximize resources and costs.
• Managing non-attendance by redistributing items to other partners and clients.
