Bump it!

With the festive season underway, December 25th only a few days away, and the year end shortly thereafter - it's a great time to not only reach out and give to others, but also to consider touching your clients and sphere of influence in a meaningful way.

Here is a list of ideas ...

1. Write personal notes using your data base. This is a great exercise to see how well you remember all of them and their homes ... and check that you have it up to date.
Find every client you have or have had, add them as a friend on your Facebook profile ... including a nice, non-real-estate-related greeting in the message.
When they accept your Facebook add, post a simple note on their wall wishing them a great new year.
Have a Christmas Pudding collection event. There are a number of organisations that sell them to raise funds - You'll be able to support a cause and only get to pay for those puddings that were collected.
Invite everyone to volunteer with you for a charity for a few hours. (Red Cross, your local shelter, ...)
Arrange a sing-a-long carol evening for a night of singing and laughter.
Video a short 15 to 30 second holiday greeting and new year message to everyone and upload it to YouTube. You don't want it to be formal so try to show your personality.
Hire some carolers to join you on the main corner of your market area.
Knock and drop some dog biscuits and catnip to your clients with pets.
Oganize a gift exchange - a social and fun way for everyone to swop all those unwanted gifts ... or donate them to a suitable charity.
Have your clients send you photographs of their holiday decorations (tree, home, light displays, etc.) and create a special page on your website to showcase them.
Host an end of the year de-clutter event. With the new year starting offer everyone the opportunity to get rid of their clutter that built up through the year.

If you find it's too late in the month to tackle some of the suggestions on this list, remember to include them in your year planer for 2010s holiday season!

Cool ideas and great use of Facebook.
Here's another one - Drop off bin at the office party and invite everyone to bring a toy/food/diaper to the party!
