There are countless ways to help your real estate business gain local exposure. If you haven’t jumped into the digital world of marketing yet, you may find a grassroots marketing approach more alluring. Promotional items help businesses stay top-of-mind with prospective clients and boost brand exposure within the community.
When selecting a promotional item for your real estate marketing strategy, focus on tools nearly everyone uses in their day-to-day life. Additionally, you’ll get the most promotional benefit for your business with gadgets that people can use in public.
Here are ten unique promotional items that prospective clients won’t immediately throw away:
