Trade Show Giveaway Ideas for Real Estate Companies

Real Estate Trade Show Giveaways

After three years of canceled events, trade shows are back for 2024! As we put the height of the pandemic further behind us, in-person corporate events are once again in full swing. That’s good news for business leaders looking to network, find clients, and spread brand awareness. Trade shows and expos are especially important in the real estate industry. At these events, real estate agents, companies, and property managers can connect with each other to build relationships, form partnerships, and share strategies and promotional ideas.

In this article, we’ll talk about the importance of trade shows for realtors, and we’ll share ideas for logo-branded giveaways that can help you maximize your ROI at these events. 

Why Real Estate Trade Shows Matter

While more and more of our business communication is now done online or through text, nothing can replace the networking power of in-person interaction. According to communications expert David Grossman:

“Interacting directly with other leaders, managers and employees through face-to-face communication helps you create shared experiences that can enhance future communication. It also helps create a camaraderie that is the basis of effective working relationships and increases your likelihood of success.”

After a challenging couple of years in the real estate market—due to low housing supply— a slow recovery seems to be starting as new construction increases and prices stabilize. Now is a great time to build trust with potential clients and partners by making face-to-face connections at trade shows.

You can maximize and extend the impact of these new connections by giving logo-branded gifts. Custom giveaways are one of the smartest promotional ideas for real estate expos, since they will help the people you meet remember your brand and the conversations you had.

 

Top Giveaways for Real Estate Companies

Need giveaway ideas for your next realtor expo? We’ve got you covered with a list of our top picks for useful and fun corporate merch to promote your real estate company.

Logo-Branded Coaster Sets

High-quality custom coaster sets are a smart choice for your realtor giveaways. These are products that will get daily use —in the home or office—which means your colleagues will see your logo regularly.

Our favorite:  Custom Woodchuck USA Walnut Set of 4 Wood Coaster Set

These branded coasters are made of beautiful, solid walnut (cedar and mahogany are also available). Plus, Woodchuck USA designs and manufactures their products in the United States and plants a tree for every order.

Custom Food Containers

Realtors live their lives on the go; they are constantly meeting with clients, showing houses, or rushing to their next closing. Logo-branded lunch boxes and travel drinkware are helpful gifts that will make their lives a bit easier.

Our favorite: Branded Gemline White Satsuma Bento Lunch Box

These beautiful branded bento-style lunch boxes make weekly meal prep a pleasure. They are microwave and freezer safe, making them as versatile as they are attractive.

Company Logo Bottle Openers

For some real estate events, you may need smaller branded items that are easier to transport (and easier on your custom merch budget). Company Logo bottle openers and multi-tools fit that need but are also useful items that your colleagues will hold onto. 

Our favorite: Company Logo Swiss Force Black Impressive

Multi-use products are always a good choice for giveaways, since recipients will have several reasons to keep and use your gift. This branded multi-tool includes a foil cutter, corkscrew, and bottle lever and opener. Realtors will use this gift every time they pop open a bottle of wine or some beers to celebrate a big sale.

Corporate Candles

What busy realtor couldn’t use a bit of pampering? Adding your logo to a corporate scented candle is a great way to create a positive impression of your company. Recipients can even use your candles to help stage their properties!

Our favorite: Corporate SnugZ Sugar Cookie Scented Votive Candle 3 oz

This small branded votive packs up to 15 hours of burn time—long enough to last through an open house! The classic smell of sugar cookies is warm and inviting.

 

Branded Speakers 

Tech gifts can be some of the most appreciated giveaway items, and branded bluetooth speakers in particular are universally popular. Since most of us have a smartphone on us at all times, bluetooth speakers let us easily add ambiance or fun to any situation, be it a family picnic or a work event.

Our favorite: Branded Origaudio Black Boxanne Bluetooth Speaker
With the large, full color imprint area on these branded speakers, you can include an eye-catching image or message on your gifts. That makes them great promotional items for real estate companies that want to give high-impact custom merch.

Custom Mugs

Custom mugs are standard giveaways at trade shows for realtors (or any industry). You can stand out by choosing a beautiful, high-quality mug that will attract attention to your booth.

Our favorite:  Custom Leed's Black RockHill Ceramic Mug 17oz 

The two-tone design of this custom Leed's mug gives it a handmade look, and the large capacity will appeal to coffee and tea lovers.

 

Logo-Branded Snacks and Treats

Let’s be honest: you’re always on the lookout for snacks and candy when browsing the trade show floor. Up your free candy game by giving away logo-branded treats at your booth.

Our favorite: The 1919 Candy Company White Jolly Ranchers in Large Custom Snack Canister

This large custom canister of Jolly Ranchers contains enough candy to snack on during the expo and to bring back to the office after. Plus, recipients can use the logo-branded canister for other items after the candy is gone.

Custom Dog Treats

Another way to stand out is to offer less common giveaways at your next realtor expo. Custom dog treats will attract attention from all those colleagues who are excited to get home to their pup.

Our favorite: Custom Magnet Group Tan Mini Dog Bones in Bag with Business Card Magnet 

These tasty custom dog treats offer 12 vitamins and minerals and are only five calories each! The package includes a magnet version of your business card, so recipients can hold onto it after treats are eaten.

Company Logo Notebooks

Custom notebooks are top promotional items for real estate companies. Realtors always need a good notebook on hand while meeting with clients and partners.

Our favorite: Custom Leeman Red Tuscany Junior Journal
This custom logo notebook is small enough to tuck away in a purse or briefcase. Its high-quality faux-leather looks and feels great, and it will withstand frequent use and travel. With multiple attractive colors available, you can choose the one that works best for your brand.

 

Branded Tote Bags

A great custom tote bag puts your logo on display throughout the trade show, as attendees use your bag to hold their swag. Plus, realtors will continue to use the bag to haul paperwork and other necessities between meetings. That makes totes one of the top giveaway ideas for your next realtor expo!

Our favorite: Branded Port Authority Black/ Black Day Tote

This sturdy fabric branded tote is large enough to hold all your trade show essentials. In addition to black, it is available in several bold, eye-catching colors.
