I had one realtor take me up on it, only because he's MY realtor that I'm currently working with. What I found really interesting is that he normally gets restaurant gift certificates at a 25% discount. So...realtors may be reluctant to purchase PC gift certificates or products at full price. Something to think about if you do send out letters and follow up.

I just got back from a Women's Show and spoke with a realtor. I mentioned the PC gift certificates and she seemed interested. She said that she also likes to give gifts. So I was thinking of putting together a few items, maybe one of the gift sets for her to use as house warming gifts and of course put in a card for a free kitchen show, to stock the kitchen or for a housewarming!
