I Have Been Invited to a "Realtor Fest"

[obxchef]

I am so excited and need some help. I have been invited to be a vender at a "Realtor Fest" in my area. The agent who contacted me said they have never had a Pampered Chef consultant as a vender before. She is wanting me to produce some ideas of PC gifts that agents can purchase and give to their clients at closings. Has anyone every partipated in something like this? Does anyone have any ideas on what to put into gift baskets? I was going to have several different ideas and prices. If anyone can give any advise and picture of what they have done in the past would be greatly appreciated>

That sounds like a great opportunity for you.

Here are some ideas for simple gifts that wouldn't cost the realtor an arm and a leg (to be given at closing or shortly after):
Celebrate Plate
RUFTH Trivet
Carafe
BBQ Tools (especially if the house has a built-in grill)

My realtor sends out little trinkets throughout the year, looking for referrals. The SBRC would be a good one, as people would keep it (I never keep the little things Lou sends us) and they can stamp their name inside. And you can put your label on the back, too (have them sent to you, then you deliver them to the realtors).

Thank you! I was thinking the same thing. This area has very EXPENSIVE houses and the realtors make a killing on their commissions. They can afford it

The trick is to find things in the catalog that even non-cooks would use, as not everyone cooks, or bakes, or entertains...

An assortment basket with handy things like Twixit clips, Easy Opener, iSlice, Kitchen Shears, etc. would also be nice.

One of my favorites I saw a while back was tying the 2 serving spatulas together with some ribbon and attaching a note that said "It was a pleasure to serve you!"

If you do a file search on "realtor" you'll find a list of ideas we came up with last year (Gift Ideas For Realtors 2006.doc - needs updating with current prices and remove discontinued products).

I have a realtor who buys Grill Sets from me for clients - He gets a grill bag, and an assortment of grill tools - in the $90 range when its done.

Thanks! I tried a search but didn't try gift ideas!

Sometimes i forget to do a search in the file section as the regular search does not find the files.

I think those realtors in the expensive housing markets should give their clients the forged carving set!!!!!

I sent this with a letter to a few realtors in my area, HTH.

I don't know about other states but in KY gifts have to be under $100.

You simply MUST tell them all about the Microfiber Towels. (Not just for a closing gift-- for the Realtor!)I am a Realtor, and the microfiber towel is PERFECT to spruce things up for an open house. Paint a picture for them-- it's Sunday afternoon, and you're holding an open house in 15 minutes. But you've hit church traffic, and you haven't even placed your signs (aka played in traffic) yet! So you move at lightening (yet legal!) speed, get your signs planted, and walk into a beautifully spotless, bright and shiny home, right?WRONG. It looks dull. Dusty. Vacant. So you climb the stairs and start at the top, towel in tow, and you wipe down everything you can find that will shimmer, sparkle & shine. With no cleaner, and sometimes without even water, with a couple of minutes to spare. I am telling you-- it is a GODSEND.Good luck!!

Thanks Kimmy!

The Gift Set attachment by riggs62 had the old RUFTH picture, so I updated it.
