OPEN HOUSE COUNTDOWN – WEEK SEVEN!
Here is a record of what suggestions were placed on our Facebook pages. If you missed them on Facebook, they are listed here!
It would be heartbreaking to attempt to have a successful Open House that will WoW our audiences if you do not plan.
- Set a date for your Open House NOW!
- Do not wait until the last minute to determine the date of your Open House. Everything hovers around your Open House’s meeting date. If you do not set a meeting date now everything else will not fall into place smoothly.
- Determine who will be your keynote speaker
- If possible, find someone well known and respected in your community to give the keynote address. Having someone well known within your community increases the chances of you having more visitors attend your Open House. Ensure that the keynote speaker (if not a Toastmaster) understands that they are to refrain from talking anything controversial or political. We want to draw the potential visitors in not chase them away.
- Design a special Open House flyer (electronic & hard copy) for this event.
