Summer is officially in full swing, and with the warm weather comes barbeques, ballgames, trips to the beach and much more. All these activities offer fun themes you can work off for your next pop-by gift. Pop-bys are a great, inexpensive way to stay connected with past clients and reach out to new leads in your area. Here are eight summer-inspired pop-by ideas guaranteed to excite your clients and bring you more referrals for your real estate business.
1. Baseball-themed items
“I’ll go to bat for you…”
Cracker jacks, sunflower seeds or peanuts make a great baseball-themed pop-by gift. These simple snacks are perfect for baseball season. Include a note shaped like a baseball to tell your clients that every transaction with you is a home run.
2. Sand bucket and shovel
“I really DIG your referrals!”
If your clients have small kids, gift them a sand bucket and shovel filled with an activity book, crayons and
other fun beach toys. Their family will “dig” these items on their next pool/beach day.
3. Lemonade kit
“Making every real estate experience easy peasy, lemon squeezy!”
Here’s a refreshing take on a pop-by gift—wrap a lemon squeezer and your favorite lemonade packet or recipe card in a cute tea towel. Clients will “pitcher” you as their agent every time they pour themselves a glass.
4.Customized insulated cup
“Chill this summer and let me handle your real estate needs!”
Whether the market is cold or hot, this gift will come in handy during the summer season and is suitable for all members of the family. Make sure to incorporate your company’s logo for an added touch.
5. Jar of honey
“Thank you for bee-ing our client!”
A small jar of honey, especially if it is locally sourced, is a great pop-by idea for your clients. Pair it with your favorite tea and a bee-themed note card to let them know you appreciate working with them.
6. Ice cream scoop
“I’ve got the scoop on the market!”
Nothing says summer like a nice cold bowl of ice cream. Provide your clients the tools they need to make the perfect summer sundae. With every scoop, they’ll be reminded that you’re the agent they need to make their real estate dreams come true.
7. Grill tools
“Your referrals keep me cookin’!”
Summer is the season for outdoor grilling, which is why a grilling spatula makes a perfect pop-by item. Your clients will be “flipping” over their gift when it’s time to spark the grill back up.
8. Condiments set
“Just stopping by to ketchup…”
What pairs best with barbecue? Sauces, of course! Put together a bundle of your preferred condiments (i.e., ketchup, mustard, relish) and let your clients know you’d like to “ketchup” with them this summer season.
