Spring is around the corner, and right now is the perfect time to start planning a community event. However, you might have no idea how to do this and don't want to spend a ton of money on it.
Don't worry! In this episode, we're going to share some low-cost, effective ways to host an Easter egg hunt and pet adoption event that your whole community will love!
Why Host a Spring Community Event?
- Everyone hibernates during the winter and may have forgotten what their community has to offer. Since the weather is warming up, this is a great time for them to get out and find something to do.
- Community events are all about bringing people together and showing them that you're committed to creating positive experiences for your community.
- It's also a great way to network your real estate business with vendors, clients, and other realtors. You can generate leads for your business by being actively involved and helping your community.

Pet Adoption Community Events
- Hosting a pet adoption event involves a bit more planning, but it's worth the effort. We've had the biggest turnouts with these types of community events, and they've even helped our local shelters.
- Some ideas for your community event include partnering with pet-friendly organizations, hosting in a busy area, inviting pet-friendly vendors, and setting up photo booths for adopted pets.
- We also share details on what to do on the days leading up to the pet adoption event. However, you can find more details about it on the blog.
"This is a great way to strengthen your bonds with your community, vendors, and partnerships. An easy way to attract people to these events is by using social media." - Ashlee Jankovich.
"Honestly, for myself and my team, it doesn't have to be a break-the-bank endeavor. As long as you have a plan and partnerships to leverage, this can cost $0 out of pocket." - Tiffany Klusacek.
