This article was spun off off of the idea that you can Create Buzz by Pulling A Stunt.

Real Estate Sales:

If you sell real estate, you know how tough it is to get noticed. Here is a way you can create some buzz without spending a lot of money.

Hold a contest in which people submit guesses to a question that you have come up with.

Potential questions could be:

Where is the oldest house in _________ located? (Use your city or area)

What was the first business established in _________?

Who was the first Mayor or City Official for ____________?

What was the most expensive home ever sold in __________?

What is the oldest business to have it’s roots in _________?

Use one or more of these questions on a flyer. At the top of your flyer should be all of your contact information and also a discount on home selling or home selling.

This should generate substantial curiousity and hopefully you can get a lot of people to participate.

In order to make it exciting, you will need to offer a prize. Maybe solicit donations from neighborhood companies, or come up with the prize yourself.

Only one person should get the prize, the first person to come up with the answers to the question(s).

You can also try contacting the newspaper and see if they will print the flyer for free since you are trying to make your city a more exciting place to live. Maybe the will donate the ad space for one week and run the flyer every day for a week.

In exchange you could list them as supporters of the event.

Make sure your entire week is focused on promotion of your contest.

Don’t sit around here, start working on your contest!
