The weather. I make sure it is pleasant, sunny and an inducement for folks to get out. Next is properly placed directional signage.

online marketing works the best.... on many sites, especially google+.... use the right keywords that a potential buyer would use TO FIND OPEN HOUSE EVENTS FOR THAT DAY.... I'd use: Open House May 1 Franklin MA....as an example.... that would bring up all of the open house events in franklin ma on that day...
