Stepping into the warm sunroom you feel the pressures of the day fall behind because your home is so warm and easy. You drop the groceries on the updated countertops and appreciate the bright open space. The kitchen is where everyone lives and yours is beautiful and comfortable with loads of cabinets. Peeking into the large living room you realize that it will soon be the season to snuggle up next to the fireplace, but for now you will enjoy the warm autumn breezes on your composite deck in the fenced yard. Your friends often remark on the lovely decor in your home, but what you love be…
Sometimes we host an open house and for whatever reason, it is a bust. Either no one shows up or very few people do and you are left sitting there for a couple of hours with not much to do.How do you fill that time? Real a book, play on Facebook, wander about, call a friend? Yesterday I had a slow open house and decided to use my time to develop some new marketing and allow people to view the house without attending.
I hosted a virtual open house using the video app, Periscope, to give the home exposure to a wider audience. Periscope is a video sharing app that is connected to Twitter. When you start a Periscope feed it creates a tweet that alerts people what you are sharing. I used the #westernma hashtag to make sure that people in my area saw the post, as well. At one point I had over 45 viewers of the feed. Granted many of them were not from this area, but several were and were asking me questions about the house. Even if none of these people buy the property, I am using my open house time to market my skills to my followers in Western MA.
Here is one of the videos from that experiment:
