7 Winter Pop-By Ideas That Your Clients Will Love

If you’ve been in the real estate business for any amount of time, you most likely already know that pop-bys can be a great marketing tool. And now that chilly winter days are here, who wouldn’t welcome a thoughtful gift arriving at their door?

Below are seven pop-by ideas to get you started thinking about ways to reach out to your clients this winter.

Winter Pop-By Ideas for Real Estate Agents

1. Baked goods

Potential note: My clients always get the star TREATment when I help them sell or buy their home. I would be happy to help you ,too.

If you’re a skilled baker, spending some time in the kitchen could be well worth it. Impress clients with some of your favorite recipes. Cookies and pies tend to be crowd favorites, but any homemade goody will warm their hearts and bellies.

Be sure to include a list of the ingredients you used on a tag, so your clients don’t have to worry about an allergy risk.

And if you’d rather let someone else do the baking, buy some tantalizing treats from a popular local bakery. Bonus: you can feel good about supporting someone in the community.

2. Simmering spices

Potential note: Still simmering when it comes to finding the right home? I can put my nose to the ground and find your perfect match.

Simmering spices are always a welcome winter pop-by idea. If you want to make them even more affordable, you can easily prepare them yourself.

To make your own simmering spice kit, put an orange, a few cinnamon sticks, cloves, and rosemary in a bag or jar. Write out instructions letting them know all they need to do is peel and half the orange, put it in a pot with the spices, cover with water, bring to a boil, and then simmer. In no time, the home will smell amazing.

3. Ice scraper

Potential note: I’ll never leave your referrals out in the cold. Send them my way, and I’ll help them buy or sell their home.

If you live in an area where it snows, this is one of the most useful winter pop-bys you can deliver. An ice scraper is a practical gift that everyone appreciates. After all, we all need to keep one in our car for that unexpected (or expected) snowstorm.

4. Hot cocoa

Potential note: The real estate market in your area is hot right now. Call me if you need help making a move.

If you’re looking for another fun and affordable pop-by, you can make a hot cocoa kit. Simply put some hot cocoa mix, marshmallows, and a peppermint stick in a cute bag. Tie it with a bow, attach a note, and you’re good to go.

5. Scented hand soap

Potential note: I’m always happy to lend a hand with your real estate needs. Reach out anytime.

You can never go wrong with hand soap, especially during cold and flu season when everyone is constantly washing their hands! And if you’re nervous about giving a food-based gift because of allergies or animals getting into it, this is a great alternative..

6. Fancy popcorn

Potential note: Referrals are popping up all over town. Get in touch if you’d like help with your real estate needs.

It’s movie season, and who wouldn’t love to get one of those big tins of yummy flavored popcorn? While this gift does come at more of a cost than some other options, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

7. Hand warmers

Potential note: The real estate market is warming up! Call me to see how much your home is worth.

Again, if you live in a colder climate, this is one of those winter pop-by ideas that’s bound to get used. Odds are it will come in handy when your client least expects it. And when it does, they’ll be sure to think of you!
