Top Five Pop-By Gifts for Home Stagers to Impress Realtors and Generate Leads

Hey Boss Babe! I once had a friend tell me, "Everything is relational before it is functional", which leads me to todays blog post!

How do we build relationships with our Realtors?

The first step is to "make friends" with them and the second step is to remind them that you are there for them, As a home stager, building strong relationships with realtors is crucial for generating new business and keeping your services top-of-mind. One effective strategy is using pop-by gifts—small, thoughtful tokens that remind realtors of your excellent service and attention to detail. Here are the top five pop-by gifts that will leave a lasting impression on realtors and help secure those valuable referrals:

1. Customized Notepads or Planners

Realtors are always jotting down notes and scheduling appointments. Why not make their day-to-day tasks a little easier with beautifully designed notepads or planners? Brand them with your logo and contact information. This not only adds a personal touch but also ensures they think of you every time they use them.

2. Staging Survival Kits

Create small kits that include items a realtor might need last-minute before showing a home. Include things like:

• mini lint rollers

• glass cleaner wipes

• and air fresheners.
  

Pack these in a branded pouch or box with a clever tagline like, "For staging emergencies!" It's a fun and practical reminder of how you can always come to their rescue.

3. Seasonal Treats

Align your pop-by gifts with the seasons. For example, during the holidays, you might drop off a small package of gourmet cookies or a festive ornament. In the summer, a branded bottle of sunscreen or a custom beach towel could be a hit. These thoughtful gifts not only keep you in mind but also show that you care about their well-being beyond business.

4. Miniature Plant Sets

A small, attractive succulent or a miniature herb garden can be a delightful addition to any office desk or home staging setup. Plants are known to boost mood and improve air quality, making them a perfect, thoughtful gift that realtors will appreciate. Include a tag saying, "Helping you grow your business," to subtly remind them of your partnership.

5. Personalized Coffee Mugs

Realtors often start their day early, so a personalized coffee mug can be a perfect pop-by gift. Include a fun, real estate-related quote along with your branding. Pair it with a small bag of premium coffee or tea to make it extra special. Every morning, as they sip their coffee, they'll have a warm reminder of your services.

Pop-by gifts are a fantastic way to keep the relationship with your realtor partners warm and remind them of your valuable services. By choosing thoughtful, practical, and personalized items, you ensure that you stay at the forefront of their minds, making it more likely they'll think of you when they need staging services or have a referral.

Incorporating these creative and engaging pop-by gift ideas into your marketing strategy will not only delight your realtor contacts but also significantly boost your chances of generating new leads and growing your business.
