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.

• 90 Days Before:
• Start looking for a venue to host the event.

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.
