Andy,

I'll share one thing that Ben's team does year round, but it's particularly effective in the summer because more people are out and about.

When they do open houses, they like to put out a number of signs. They will generally try to get out about 10 signs per open house. Most people's signs don't really have a call to action on them, beyond an arrow pointing you toward the open house, and a phone number (in case someone can't follow the arrows and gets lost, they call you? Never understood that).

So his team started doing this:

So now, when someone drives by his signs, they can text in BKOPEN to 59559 and they get back a list of all the open houses in his county that weekend. And he gets their cell phone number. 

Even if they don't come to that open house he is marketing, he has a chance to capture them if they are interested in knowing all the open houses that week(end).

One cool little thing they are doing that I thought I would share!

My strategies don't really change with the seasons.  Have never seen a need to out here.  They might include a "be in before school starts" type message, but the overall strategy is the same year round.

I put a "Realtor On Duty" sign next to my beach chair on any of our beautiful beaches. Ok.. seriously, the same as I do the rest of the year and with the summer as our down time, I have more time to contact past clients, write blog posts and work on my websites.

I only send postcard mailers to people around my lake in spring and summer.  However I likely will start doing it year round as it gets under the nose more, and it ups the chances of getting several listings when it warms up.

My wife and I also have a pontoon boat, and we offer to take all our buyers out on the boat to see the lake when they come out to see our listings.
