What other better idea would there be. It would be casual way to meet with no awkward one on one time but all the nighbours who probably know each other and can get to know you. Neighbours are always wanting to know what their new neighbour has done to decorate their home and in the mean time you get to show them the PC products and let them know of your business and how you can serve them and maybe make a friend or two that you may not have had.
