With spring in full swing, Easter brings a renewed sense of energy, and real estate agents are ready to tap into it. As one of the busiest seasons in the market, it's the perfect time to roll out timely, festive promotions that connect with buyers and sellers alike. To help you stand out and stay ahead, we’ve put together ten Easter real estate marketing tips designed to drive leads and spark conversions. Let’s dive in.
1. Host an Easter-Themed Open House
Hosting an open house during Easter is a great idea because people will be on their Easter holidays, and you can expect a substantial crowd. To keep that crowd engaged and invested in the listing, which are some of the biggest obstacles in real estate marketing, you should host an Easter-themed open house.
The key is to keep the décor subtle, tasteful, and spring-forward, with just enough Easter charm to feel festive but not overdo it. Think of simple flower arrangements with tulips and daffodils. Of course, you can’t have Easter without Easter eggs. Scattered or centered and nestled in greenery gets that seasonal touch. If you want to get playful, you can add figurines of Easter bunnies that kids are bound to play around with.
Another thing potential home-buyers would love are small and thoughtful treats. Mini chocolate eggs, truffles, or small carrot cakes with small “Happy Easter” flags for a branded touch can come a long way.
2. Organize a Community Easter Egg Hunt
Organizing a small Easter egg hunt is an excellent way of getting your name out there and connecting with the local community. If one of your properties has a spacious yard, you can invite the locals, your past clients, and followers on social media to attend the hunt. You can use branded signage, Easter baskets, and even get a costume of the Easter Bunny for the youngsters to make it even more memorable.
A branded table with refreshments and treats can be a great way to put a sign-up sheet for a newsletter and home evaluation offers so that you can generate some leads from it.
Make sure you insert a business card into each egg, together with a small prize. For the Golden Egg, you can consider a gift card or a giveaway.
3. Create Easter-Themed Social Media Contests
Social media can be your greatest ally when it comes to real estate marketing during Easter. If you have a good following or even want to build one, creating social media contests is a great way to engage them. You can have contests such as the “Best Easter Home Decor”, where people can post photos of their home decorations, and those followers whose photos get liked the most can be eligible for a small prize.
You can also do a “Guess the Number of Eggs” contest where followers guess the number of Easter eggs in a bowl or a jar. You can have your contact details written on the eggs, so the more they look at the eggs, the more likely your details will get remembered. The winner can be the follower who guesses the correct number or has the closest guess.
4. Offer Spring Home Staging Tips
Another worthy real estate Easter marketing tip is to share your spring home staging ideas with the crowd. Given that spring is the peak selling season, you can share your top recommendations through a blog post, social media carousel, or email campaign.
For example, you can talk about the effect of decluttering the space and leaving only the essentials, which gives buyers a sense of a clean canvas when it comes to home decorating.
5. Send Easter-Themed Email Campaigns
Newsletters can go a long way, especially during the festive season. You can send out an email with a personal holiday message with a fresh spring design that also includes a roundup of new spring listings or market insights. After all, an email like that can do more than just say “Happy Easter”. You have to use the emails to drive engagement and bring in leads.
Consider making Easter home-staging tips the focal point of the email, which can definitely add a lot of value to readers. The options are virtually endless, especially when you leverage email and other marketing automation tools. Open house invites are great content for email campaigns, and so can event announcements, like the aforementioned Easter Egg Hunt.
6. Partner with Local Businesses for Easter Promotions
Teaming up with local businesses is a win-win situation for realtors, especially during Easter. For example, you can run co-branded Easter giveaways. Think a floral arrangement or a dessert box with Easter egg treats. You can even include a small branded flyer or QR code in the giveaway that links to your listings or a home valuation offer.
This cross-promotional strategy can give you great exposure in the local community and on social media, not to mention that you get to tap into each other’s business networks.
7. Create an Easter Homebuyer’s Guide
Homebuyers often find themselves wondering if they’ve covered all the bases, from choosing the right property to the paperwork that accompanies the process. That’s where you, as a real estate agent, play a crucial role.
You can put together a simple, seasonal guide covering spring market trends, mortgage tips, and why buying now makes sense. Highlight benefits like increased inventory, better weather for moving, and fresh listings to provide additional context. If you offer the guide as a downloadable item for those who register to your mailing list, you’ll be looking at a lead magnet.
8. Decorate Your Office or Listings with Easter Décor
Easter décor is virtually a must during this time of the year, especially if you’re hosting an open house. A tasteful Easter wreath at the entrance, a bowl of mini eggs, or a spring-themed table can help potential buyers picture themselves and their families celebrating the holiday in that house.
9. Run a Limited-Time Spring Incentive
If you want to spark a buyer’s interest, consider running a time-sensitive offer. It always works. As a realtor, you can offer them a closing cost credit, a special deal for home warranty, or free staging consultation for all deals that get closed during Easter.
It doesn’t have to be huge or anything to make your listing stand out. When you combine a sense of exclusivity with a deadline, you usually get action.
10. Leverage Easter for Content Marketing
Easter is a perfect time to give your marketing materials a boost. Think about creating blog posts, short videos, or Instagram reels that blend the season with the real estate business. You can cover topics like “Why Spring is the Best Time to Buy,” “Easter Home Decor Trends,” or “Spring Cleaning Tips Before You List”, given how relevant these are during that time.
With this content marketing effort, you will reaffirm your position as an expert in the field and boost your SEO presence further.
Conclusion
Easter is the perfect excuse to get creative with your real estate marketing. Small seasonal touches like an Easter egg hunt or staging tips can prove invaluable to your marketing efforts, so it pays to be on the lookout for the latest trends and implement our tips.
