Gosh, I don't say anything clever when I do pop-bys - just wish them well for the season!

Most people don't want 'salespeople' knocking on their doors so, when you're just you, I think they're more appreciative. Just my humble opinion!

Pop bys are not meant to be accompanied with a sales pitch... It's just a way to stay in touch and say thank you for your business.  Wish them a safe and happy Hallowe'en..

I'm not sure where the Buffini add on comes in, but think something like that is good enough to say when you do a pop by.

In the past I've made tags and put them around the stem.  I used "Happy Halloween to your Lil Pumpkin" and "Real Estate doesn't haven to be scary w/ me on your side"....    The tag can be clever but just "be you" with the interaction.  Have fun!

My thought:  If YOU don't know what to say then perhaps you are not comfortable dropping them off. Be authentic. Be yourself. Be REAL. 

No Gimmicks.  You don't need a clever thing to say to connect with people. You just need to be yourself.

I don't know if others who are not in real estate would know what a Buffini Sticker is - maybe they will think it's the name of your company Colleen Kelly.  I know when I drop off homemade Christmas cookies, I just say, "Merry Christmas - I'm Thinking of You - and Want to Wish you a Happy Holiday!"  There is no mention of real estate or that I'm a realtor - it's just more a smile and having a few words so that they know I remember them (our niche is an age-restricted community).  Not scripted at all.  I do think a pumpkin is a wonderful way to wish someone a Happy Fall and a Happy Halloween!

Only thing that comes to mind is "trick or treat"  ;).  Not sure why you need the Buffini sticker though, that won't mean anything to non-agents.  Just be genuine and wish them a happy fall/winter/etc.
