Looking Out From the Garage: I had a marketing thought...

I had a marketing thought...

Scary, I know.

Ok, a couple of caveats.  

  • Atlanta area agents, don't steal this from me yet... I'm kicking it around in my head.
  • I haven't talked to anyone about this yet, so if it is stupid... give me the opportunity to find someone to blame.
  • I don't know if it would fly with the needed parties yet. 
  • I don't know if anyone would show up.

Here goes...

I'm thinking about trying to put together a series of lunch or dinner "chats" dealing with real estate, investing, and related financial issues.  I would host, and bring in experts on the various topics.  While it wouldn't be completely real estate related, I think it could be a good source of leads.  

The basic plan is to find an establishment that would offer a discount on a slow night in order to drum up the business.  The first thought I had was to try someplace like Moe's...  Moe Money Tuesdays was the title that popped into my head. 

It would be kind of like a first time homebuyer's seminar.  

What do you think?

I think it's a great idea.  It would be more casual since it's over dinner?  Gary Bolen did a blog about a seminar they did.

I think it would be a great idea, try it a few times and if it didn't work out hey atleast maybe you got a discount on some good food, but hopefully it turns out great. Put the right team together on it and I would imagine it could be very good for you and for anyone who shows up.

Melina - I would want it to be relaxed, to allow more comfort for questions and comments.  

Chris - We'll see if I can put it together...

Lane, I think it is a great idea also and people are always more relaxed when they're eating.  Some people (I'm one of them) don't always like to go up and start a conversation and when put into a more formal setting it can get uncomfortable.  But if I'm at a restaurant, and I get uncomfortable I can always just put food in my mouth to cover the silence ;-)

Bonnie - My thought is that if I can get a discount from the restaurant, it is worth it to go get a cheap meal.
