Any agents interested in sponsorship for your open house?

[Dan U.]

Hosting an open house might not be very expensive (some snacks, mailing material, etc.) but having a publicized memorable open house, say, with sandwiches and lots of marketing materials can get pricey, especially if you want to send out postcards to 100+ people in your farm area.

What if a local business was willing to front that cost in exchange for being listed as a sponsor on the marketing materials? They could give you their business cards to hand out, or if it's a restaurant, even provide the food. I think this would be a great way for businesses to advertise to a local audience and show their involvement in the community.

I'm thinking of leveraging some of my business connections to get my own open houses sponsored, but I want to offer this service to other realtors. What do u guys think? As an agent, does that sound like something you would want?
