Flyer Boxes! Inexpensive way to give more information about the property. Downside is that flyer boxes must be maintained or they can make an agent look like he/she is not doing his/her job. Some flyer boxes have a "permanent" flyer in the back so potential buyers can still get information. Consider giving the flyers to your seller so they can keep the box stocked.

Sign riders can bring attention to items a buyer might not be aware of or can add additional marketing exposure

Text to Flyer Services such as Gumiyo and Ad2Cell allow potential buyers to text to a number and get information on a property sent to their cell phone.

More Marketing Ideas... Offering an 800# on the sign which gives recorded information on the property and captures the buyer's information for follow up.

A Few Last Thoughts..... Don't make your sign look like a flea market with mutiple riders, flyers, etc. Check up on your sign regularly to make sure it reflects your professionalism. If your sign company installs a post or panel that is less than perfect, send them out to replace it. Use easy to read signs - don't put your picture on your signs (it takes up too much space and no one in real estate is that beautiful)
